Barclays Policy [application interval]
About nine weeks ago I signed up for and was approved for Barclay's 35K US Airways CC offer. I'd like to sign up for Barclay's Lufthansa 50K offer before it goes bye bye. Will Barclay's approve one for two personal cards in such a relatively short period of time? (I have a very good credit score, despite my frequent churning.)

Whether or not Barclays likes to see a "cooling off" period -- and I have no insight on that -- there's also the issue of total credit line. My recent experience with applying for the US Premier World card, and being denied for "sufficient credit" (i.e., extended by them to me) because of a US World card I've had for at least 2 years, is that this is much more likely to be an issue.
The good news is that they may well reconsider & grant a second card contingent on reallocating credit from the existing line. That's how it played out in my case.

A datapoint for you:
I had two diff Barclay's cards approved in 90 days time. Both went through their review process (not instant approval). Got approved with lines of 6k and 10k.
This was last year
