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

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!!

Seen this asked a few times but have never seen it answered. Search didn't help.
The US Air MC give 10,000 PQM if card holder spends at least $25k in a year.
So, if you were to hold 2 of these cards, and spent over $25k on each, would card holder end up with 20k PQM that year?
Can anyone confirm through actual first hand experience?

Everyone else seems to get the error message and then approval from link #2, but I got the pending message and eventual denial. Why am I so lucky?

A data point on AP...
Sent a SM to make sure my wife and I qualified before I did an additional 2 months (I did, she did not, inexplicably since our purchase patterns and apps were nearly identical). The CSR's reply indicated that I had met the purchase requirements for April, which I had done solely using AP.

Can't say without knowing all the details. Perhaps it was due to too many inquiries (as this is often the major reason Barclay denies, or having too many Barclay cards already.)

Normally shouldn't be a problem but just make sure you use the card as your regular card for a while and doing so then mix it with Amz. so as not to alert them.

Picked up a VR today and charged it to my US air card, transaction went through no problem. Had only made 1 previous small purchase on it so was a little nervous it would trigger a fraud alert. This will help with the $750 spend ^

Regarding AP I'm sure it's safe but I'm considering just using it for a VR and then some other charges. Has anyone that has used AP for the three months received the bonus miles successfully? I know that poster said CSR said they met it but I wonder if a computer would change that.

How do you know if you get the bonus or not? From my understanding isn't that something that's sent to you at a later date?

If you read the thread the 15k bonus is offered only after having the card sit without any spent after the intial spend needed for the 35k to post after the first statement and for some people that offer has come via email and regular mail and it will say spend $750 or more for each of the next 3 mos.
So just wait and see if it comes no need to call anyone. ( I don't think)
