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)

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!!

Any recent reports of how strict they enforce DM preferred status for the 30k + 10k anniversary card?
If they do enforce, I assume I can just call up and ask for the 40k non-preferred card instead.

Not sure if this will be a useful data point to anybody since the free checked bag starts in a couple days, but I had a flight on Friday that I was hoping to squeeze a free checked bag out of since it was 4-5 days before they started it.
Long story short, a US Air phone rep told me to ask at the ticket counter. The ticket lady had to ask her supervisor, who gave a rude "um it starts the 30th" answer. While she was gone I continued my work on the kiosk, selecting to add 1 bag. The ticket lady came back, was surprised to see that I added a bag and it wasn't asking for any additional money and just told me to not worry about it and I ended up getting a free bag. Not sure if it was just a fluke or maybe they added the feature early?
Was a nice surprise, though.

Anyway, I have confirmed via both SM and phone call that it is indeed 60 days.

Closed out a previous US Air card a little over 2 weeks ago. Applied for the Preferred Members only card today (I'm Chairman's). I was NOT instantly approved - however, a call to the recon line did the trick.

I've been reading that I should separate my Barclay's apps 3-6 months. does this apply to personal and biz?
Specifically, can I do Arrival personal and USAir Biz on the same day? (assume not auto-approved)

I must have been the last person to apply for the 30k+10k waived annual fee. I got instantly approved for my 3rd USAir card on 4/28. Only had two pulls in 6 months. The first two were the old 35k, first spend, waived annual fee. I canceled the first one after the anniversary bonus hit. 2nd one still open. Phew. Can't wait for the merger!

Confirmed data point. Switched to the no-fee version of the card (with reduced rewards earnings and no more benefits) on the 57th day after the annual fee was posted. Just got the annual fee refunded today.
