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!!

ok I was initially denied but found and called the back office of Barclays and just got approved for this thing.
Just not sure which card is which. They have decided to issue me a $5k cr limit MC world mastercard, stating it has the us air benefits but they were unable at that office to confirm what exactly these are.
Anyone here get that card instead of a Visa?

Visa? I thought all the Barclay's USAir cards were Mastercards. The only question was whether they gave the one with the full bonus or downgraded to the Platinum card. Did you apply through the 35K bonus mile link? Usually the cutoff point for the credit limit is 5K (less than that, you've got the Platinum)
I did apply thru the 35k bonus mile link. Or so I think. lol
Here's what they issued me:

yeah I wasnt 100% sure because we all know Barclays is apparently giving out many different versions of the US AIR cards here. But I contacted the back office and asked about my situation and this resulted in Barclays giving me that card. I plan to coin the card and try to just earn many a FF mile on it for some future use. I rarely fly US but it all adds up!

Either way I guess Im into getting the miles instead of the 5k off domestic. Reason being is because 35k miles is something you can use on OTHER *alliance and it's an all at once bonus, where as 5k bonus off domestic would only seem to work on US flights.
FC boarding priority doesnt really bother me. I usually only carry one carry bag that fits above and maybe a small netbook laptop that fits under the seat so whatever. Plus the longer Im standing outside of the plane the better. That is, unless I am sitting IN FC. lol

Note that the 5K discount is not just off domestic. I did a dummy booking yesterday for an upcoming award ticket to YUL and the website showed the 5K reduction.

Now I'M confused! You DO get the pre-boarding, 5K off a reward redemption, and all that other stuff with the card. And my understanding is that the 5K off is on any flight, even international, as long as it's US metal (no partners, no code shares)

Bait and Switch!!
I am ticked. I applied for the US Dividend Miles Premier World MasterCard on May 16. Like everyone else, the promo I applied under was 35k Dividend Miles upon my first purchase and no annual fee for the first year ($89 thereafter). I received the card today and when I called to active it they have informed me that I was only approved for 10k dividend miles after spending $10k on the card and the annual fee waived for the first year!! WHAT A JOKE!
I have screen shots of: (1) the offer page, (2) the completed application and (3) the "congrats" page where my app was accepted.
My question: Should I call the number on the back of my card to complain or try with a secure email?
I am ticked...this is a pure bait and switch...I'll keep you guys updated on what happens.
