We will leave this thread open for questions from existing cardholders who applied using offers with the perpetual annual 10k bonus. Otherwise, please post on the ongoing thread on standard offers:
Current Offers: USAirways cards with no annual mileage bonus
Current Links:
30k + 10k anniversary + no annual fee for the first year (now says "Offer expired"); terms and conditions include offer specifics
[NOTE: Barclays is erratically enforcing the restriction "for Preferred members only," especially for those who leave off a membership number on the application. See recent experiences reported in the thread.]
There is a separate thread for a 40k+10k offer with $89 annual fee, no anniversary bonus: USAirways CC special Offer 40K + 10K BT Bonus; AF not waived
Expired Links:
30k at signup, 10k anniversary bonus, 10k with balance transfer, no fee first year - Landing Page (Ended 4/30/14)
Older 35K Link (older link not working)
Newer 35K Link (click on terms and conditions to see 35K bonus after first purchase, first year fee waived, and 10K anniversary bonus)
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!!

Anyone actually receive this card in the last 2 weeks? I got approved for the 2nd card on Feb25, the 1st was approved July 2012 and still open. I got the confirmation email etc., however after more than 2 weeks I am still to receive the card. Now wondering if they declined me after the approval, is that even possible? I don't want to call for obvious reasons.

On my wife's card, statement closed about two weeks after first charge and she got an email saying her statement was ready. Miles were already posted to US Air.

it's still alive
35K US Air MC is still alive - wife and I were just approved.
I too got the error message but after checking status online found that everything was ok (see http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/20413776-post2756.html)

Another 2nd card success
I just got instant approval on the 35k link in the first post. This is my second US Airways / Barclay's card.
1. Instant approval 5/2 2012
2. Instant approval 3/18 2013
As described in the first post, my application had an error. I immediately checked the status of my application on http://www.myapplicationstatus.com/barclays and I was approved.

That post talked about the companion pass NOT the lounge passes.
Second, you don't get lounge passes with this card-- you simply show your credit card when entering the lounge and they take care of it there by verifying it against the free access per the agreement.
You'll get something in the welcome packet that kinda looks like a lounge pass with an expiration date on it, but it's informational only (and clearly indiciated by reading the small print).

I thinking about going for a business card on top of my personal cards. That would put me over the top for the 85K x 2 people business class trip to Asia. Is Barclay's tough on opening business accounts?
