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!!

Got an offer by e-mail on one of our US cards. Gift code for a free coffee ($5 to Dunkin', Starbucks, or Panera)...
Look for a subject of "Enjoy a Cup of Coffee on Barclaycard" from [email protected]

I got my Barclays US Airways card(premier world mc) in the mail today and activated it. The CS rep confirmed 35k after first purchase plus 10k on 1 year anniversary but he said that my af would not be waived. He asked me how I found out about the offer and said only those that received a letter saying they were pre-approved in the mail could get the AF waived.
Weird though b/c when I applied online, it showed no AF(I took a screenshot) and the paperwork they sent me says my af is waived.

Wife and I both approved for our second US MCs using the 35k link in the first thread this week. I had previously been approved in October and she in December, using the old 40k link. We each have ~3 inquiries in 2013, nothing in the past few months.

As of now, they are still 2 separate programs until the airlines finally get to that part which would not be their priorities in the whole scheme of merger.

7. Do I need to sign up for American Airlines’ frequent flyer program?
No – until the merger closes, American Airlines and US Airways will remain separate companies, and each will maintain its current loyalty program. We’ll keep you updated on our progress to merge both programs.

Error Processing Your Request
Hmm, I just tried to apply for this card using the link on the first post and after hitting OK after reading the Terms and Conditions, I received the following error:
-----
We apologize for the inconvenience, but our website is experiencing technical issues.
Please contact us at 1-866-419-6437 or try again later.
-----
So the question is, did the application go through? Should I try again? Is the link broken?
Any thoughts?
[EDIT: Nevermind. Used their online application check function and saw the approval. Sweet.]

Data Point:
Got my first US card in September 2012. Just applied as part of a mini-AOR along with 3 other cards, was instantly approved. 6 HP on my TU prior to the AOR. Applied for this card last in my round of apps. They more than doubled my CL from the Sept. Card. I have used that card maybe 5 times.
Best of luck to all.
