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

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!!

met my spend through AP .. always did > $750
statements close mid month and I get my spend in first of the month.
How long should I expect for the 15k to post? It says 6-8 weeks, but is that from the end of june, statement close in June where I met the spend, statement close in July after spend was met?

It's also worth noting that my statement closes in the beginning of the month, so hopefully I'll get one soon.

In my experience, the key to getting 10,000 anniversary miles before annual fee hits is to get approved as early as possible in the month, to give a chance for the first statement to close during that same month.

My annual fee will be posted in 2 days but I have NOT seen the 10k anniversary bonus.
Anybody knows if I can cancel the card within 30 days after the fee has been posted
to get the fee waived? I applied under the 40k link posted here last year.
Thanks

Applied and approved for first USAir card with 40k in Jan - never received 750/3mo order
Applied and approved for second USAir card with 35k in July
No issues so far... though Barclays has been a pain to deal with previously!

You can periodically ask them via SM whether your account is attached to this promo.

I received the offer two times so far (on two different cards of course) and both times it came both via email and snail mail.

My wife and I both got the 35k mi bonus card for first use. We each charged under $10 thus far. Should we each charge a few hundred $ a month when it gets close to renewal time so that they don't figure we got the cards just to get the bonus and no fee the first year?
