1) I applied for this card but got the message
Check your application status by visiting http://www.myapplicationstatus.com/
At Barclays, if you already have an online account, the card can also show up there before you get a notification from them. Obviously, that won't work if you don't yet have an online Barclays account from another card. But if it's not your first US card, you presumably do have an online account already.
2) What's the reconsideration line number?
866-408-4064. Only open M>F, 8am>5pm, Eastern.
3) How long after my first purchase does it take for the bonus miles to post in my account?
Miles for the first-purchase bonus post with the statement showing the initial purchase.
4) For those people who got the targeted offer, how long after spending $750 in each of the 3 months does it take for the bonus miles to post in my account?
Miles posts two months after the end of the promotion period. For example, if your promo was to spend in June, July and August, the 15k bonus would post with October statement.
5) How can I get the anniversary 10K bonus points without paying the annual fee?
The annual bonus posts on the statement date of the month of anniversary. No need to "kick out" a statement. But if you are worried, you can put a few bucks on the card during that cycle thus generate a statement but it is NOT necessary.
AF is billed the last business day of the month of the anniversary (much better than Chase practice which is on the 1st day of the month). You have 60 days to cancel the card for the AF to be reversed. You also can use SM to cancel card and no need to call.
Note: I called to cancel the card (June, 2014), told them it was because the AF was too high, and they waived it. Still got the 10,000 points and the Companion Certs!!

Oh no. I want to get this ASAP but on my Equifax report I have three new cards in the last five months and two since late December. How long should I wait? I was planning to apply for a round of cards in March...just hope it's around then.

I've had opened 7 cards since the beginning of January when I applied for the US Air card, so this isn't a firm rule. It helped that I had another Barclay's card that they could pull some credit from to approve me for this though.

I am an idiot (twice). I was waiting for my next churn for next week to apply for USAir MC. Now the best offer is dead and I jumped on the current offer (with annual fee). I am approved for platinum version, which means only 15K miles. If I waited 10 minutes, I will see the another offer for 30K without annual fee for first year.

Just applied on Monday, got approved, haven't received the card. So I don't know which version I will get, Premier or not, but CSR confirmed that it is 40K miles after first spending+10K on every anniversary, and that's good enough, I think.

I currently have two Barlay cards (I got with $200 and $400 offers). They told me that I was still new with Barclay. And yes, one pull last Nov. for the Barclay, one pull in Jan. for Amex platinum, and two pulls for two Southwest cards in Feb. Called twice and they would not budge. Bummer! I even suggested moving the credit around and they still did not budge.

Anyone able to confirm that the 30K with no annual fee offer works if not a Barclaycard employee? This seems like it could be a better offer than the 40K with annual fee offer, but obviously not better if you get zero miles for not being a Barclaycard employee.
