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:

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!!

Data point: It has been almost exactly 5 months since I applied for my first US Air MC. Applied tonight and received the following message:
"We're sorry we are not able to complete your application decision right now, additional time is needed.
Please do not complete another application. Further information about the status of your application will be mailed to you. Thank you for your application."
I'm assuming it'll end up being a denial but I'll update if it ends up being something different.

I applied and received a USAir card in August of 2012. It had been years since I had any other card from Barclay's. I'm on the fence if I should apply for another USAir card or apply for their Arrival card. I'm thinking that Maybe I should go after the Arrival card, given the $400 travel credit after $1K in spending, as this offer could easily disappear. Then again, the USAir card might go away down the road, after the USAir/AA merger if Citi ends up being AA's sole card issuer.

What's interesting is that when people have been getting denied recently for already having a US Air MC, Barclays hasn't been doing a hard pull and just says they weren't eligible to apply. Well I got a notification this morning that my credit was pulled by Barclays on TU, so I may have gotten denied for already having a card and dinged with a hard pull.

I was kind of surprised I got the additional time needed instead of an outright denial.
