Current Links:
30k + 10k anniversary + no annual fee for the first year (now says "Offer expired"); terms and conditions include offer specifics

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!!

On a side note, I just churned this card. I had it last year and canceled it about one year ago. I checked my TU report and since I only had 2 inquiries I figured it was worth the risk so I rolled the dice. This is a great deal for 2 roundtrip domestic tickets! I live close to a US Air hub.

You can call Barclays and ask what DM number they assigned you.

I agree this is a great card. Combined with US Airways' great *A availability and the 5000 mile redemption bonus with the card on US metal I find this the strongest of all FFP besides United, although I live in the DC area.

If you get time, can you clue me in on the "A availability" and the "5K redemption bonus?" I too currently reside in the DC area (for work) and I am not all too familiar with US Air. I flew them once and it was OK. But I got this card recently and I got 40000 miles and would be interested in how best to use. Thanks in advance.

From what I recall, I made the first purchase, paid it off, and it showed up a few business days later, before the first statement closed.
