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!!

I applied this for my wife this afternoon from the first page link (35k) and it told me need more time (pending), then I checked the status but it says "no applications received". But a hard pull from Barclay already shows up on Creditkarma. Any ideas? Thanks

I still see it, next to the link for logging out, in the upper right corner, but only on some pages (such as the main "My Account" page).

I just received an email from them since applying for this card spend over $750 per month during April, May, June ($2250) and receive 15K miles. Offer details here anyone else receive a similar email offer? Wondering if it's worth it.
Yes, I think it's worth it. Many people have been trying to determine how to trigger this offer.

I was about to cancel one of my USAirways MC, as I have two, but its only been 5 months I've had it, and saw a blurb in the Terms and Conditions about having activity at least once in each six months, which makes me think that maybe I should wait until I close the account that is only 5 months old to avoid any risk of losing the 40K bonus... anyone want to chime in here?

Both my wife and I got this card about 2 months back. She just received this offer as well. I have not received, however.

I received this offer today... as a data point I got this card in January, spent $44 immediately to get the 40k bonus and haven't used it since.

Can someone clarify if this card is still churnable? Have had it since January with the 40k, no annual fee deal (and just got the 15,000 bonus offer), but want to know if I'm good to churn yet.
Was recently (1 month) denied for the NFL card, also issued by Barclays.

Swing and a miss. Okay, technically, I didn't even make it to applying for this card, but I think it's still relevant to this post.
I was going to go for my second USAir card but, remembering the recent luck that some have had with multiple Barclay's apps on one day, I decided to try the NFL $400 first, then US second. Had two apps in Dec (100+ days ago), but otherwise no apps since last summer. I got pending so decided to call to see what they would do, but the guy noted 10 apps in two years and wouldn't budge. I was surprised they went that far back to look, but there you go. Wouldn't even think about moving any CL around.
Better luck to everyone else.
