Here are deals for $400 after $1000 spend.
http://dolphinsextrapoints.com/9452 - Falcons 400/1000
http://dolphinsextrapoints.com/9447 - Raiders 400/1000
http://dolphinsextrapoints.com/9439 - Dolphins 400/1000
Did not get instant approval apparently because I have the US Airways card.

Just so people are aware in my experience this offer turns into a 60,000 point offer after a few months of non-use. On 2 cards (gf and mine) I hit the minimum spend in a few transactions, received/redeemed the points, and then didn't use the card again. After 3-4 months of non-use I received an email for both accounts saying that if I spend over $500 in each of the next three months I will receive an additional 20,000 bonus points.
So these turn out to be $600 free in my experience. I have had the same thing happen with my US Airways card from Barclays, except they offered 15k points extra.

Lousy 2K CL with decent income and 800 FICO. (my other CCs have 20K limits!). Didn't see the $1K offer but have to spend $2500. I do like getting $400 back.
Will have to spend and pay before statement "cuts" so my utilization is not high.

I saw some comments around being able to get this offer a second time, but no timelines yet. How long do people generally keep the NFL product closed before being eligible for the bonus again? 24 months?

It appears as though Barclay's now has a hard limit of 1 app per 90+ days. From the SD thread on this topic people that applied for this offer in November are getting auto- denied without a credit pull. People that got this offer in September are getting approved for a second card.
I should also add a co-worker applied in September (still open, Visa version) and then again today (MasterCard version). I had him also app the US Airways card. Both apps got the 10 day notice. Two quick calls to the recon line netted him two approvals. So, if you are going to apply for this one might as well apply for the US Air card add well. 1 inquiry for two apps.

I gave it a try since it is a Transunion pull. I have 2 US Air cards already. Both were instantly approved.
I got a message saying my application needs further review. I am supposed to be getting a 15k posting of bonus mileage on Monday from my first US Air card. After that posts, I would be happy to close it to get this offer.
Thank you for posting the link.

Well, I called and negotiated a credit transfer from my existing US Air cards to a new NFL card. He gave me a lecture about opening what they considered to be too many credit cards last year. But since my Transunion score is over 800, they approved it anyway. He also said that he did not do a second credit pull. He used the report from 2/3 to approve it over the phone on 2/6.
So I now have 3 Barclays cards.

I'm still waiting on that offer for the US card. I've been very low usage on it for a while now...pretty much only US flights. Last time I used it for something else was probably GS2011.

I have one card with them with a $5000 limit, but rarely used, so they tried to lecture me and asked why I applied for more cc with them. Since I didn't even used my $5000 credit, so they wouldn't give me more credit.
I asked if I could close my old one, and move $5k limit to get this card, but they would budge.
BTW, I have a good credit score 780 or so.
Have at least 2-3 cards with Chase/Citi/Amex/BofA. Have at least 20k -40k with each of those issuers.

Do you have any Barclays credit card?
