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!!

US Air credit card
Does anyone know of a good link for a US Air credit card with no fee for the first year? I can't find a good one. I may be a bit too late, but would appreciate your help. Thanks!

Iit said that a decision could not be made at this time and to look for a letter. i caleed the status line and the recorded message says that they have no info on my application. Would calling and actually talking to someone help anymore than what the automated system says?
Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the help.

Chase does.
http://creditboards.com/forums/index...om=creditpulls suggests Transunion is getting pulled by Chase and Citi as well.

Just applied for my first US Airways card using the offer for 35k miles with waived annual fee (https://www.barclaycardus.com/app/ja...req=CCMWC47808). Luckily received instant approval for the World MC with $12.8k.
If I want to apply for a Business card as well, and assuming I do not close my first card, is 6 months the right amount of time to wait?

Thanks. I went through this in Feb-March when I tried the 35k-then-40k bonus offer. Back then, I called and they said I didn't qualify for the bonus (because I wasn't US Air Preferred) so they didn't do a credit pull. But there was also no convincing them that the T&C didn't limit the offer to Preferred members, even after I faxed the T&C to them.

It can vary (at least at some banks) even more than by state.
At Citi it has (at least in the past, at least for some people) varied by time of month! (The theory was that Citi had a contract for so-many pulls from one agency at a reduced rate each month, and once they used that up, they shifted to another agency for the rest of month.)

I noticed in the terms it states you have to use the card once every 6 months or they close the account and you lose your miles. I wonder when the merger will go through and the miles go to American Airlines's program.
