I assume that means you were approved?
I applied today and was told I would have to wait up to 30 days...which confused the hell out of me. My credit score is 830 and I've always been approved instantly for any card I have applied for.
Please let us know if you got approved. Also, how did it take from the day you applied?

I applied last night using the generic NFL shield card link someone posted on page 6. I took screen shots and saved the terms and conditions. Got instantly approved. I have ~10 cards but the last one was approved in February.
Called this morning and confirmed I got the 40,000 point offer and asked them to send me a replacement card with my preferred team. They said it'll arrive ~10 days after the original generic NFL card arrives via US mail.
They pulled Transunion.

Seems to me the best redemption is 1¢ per point, in which case it's best to just ask for outright cash ... that is if you are not an NFL fan (or live in a major city that still doesn't have an NFL team 
) and the special redemptions don't have any value.

Haven't used with charge cards (Plat, PRG, etc). Want to use it with a credit card (DL Skymiles card, for example) but haven't had the chance to. Works well with PP card funded with beans.

You might try, and perhaps should--what are you gonna lose? But in my experience, Barclay is much tougher with reconsiderations than Chase. I think their reps do not have that much leeway, but again, it's just a call.

Online says redemptions must exceed $25, but would a credit of 410 work or does it have to be increments of $25?

I hit the $1000 spend and already 41,000 points are in my account. My statement won't close until the 19th, I believe.
However, my transactions left the "pending" area but haven't hit the "posted transactions" area, so I can't redeem the points yet ...
I have no clue who would want to spend 3550 points on a $25 NFL Store gift card when 3550 points could go to $35.50 off your statement ... with 20% off at the NFL online store with this card ...
