If you currently have a Barclays card of any sort, doing regular spending on it will greatly increase your odds of being approved for a LH card when the offer does reappear. Barclays likes people to use their cards, and rewards people who do that with more cards.
Also be aware that LH miles expire after 3 years, and the ONLY way to prevent that is to charge something on the card EVERY billing period. Miss just one time, and the 3 years from originally posting policy kicks in.

Yes it would, but I don't know of any way to do that. I'm afraid all you can do is check back on this thread once a week or so. When you click on this thread, and see 3 or 4 "unread" pages of posts, you'll know it's back up.

Well, that's true for all of us. My suggestion would be to put something with a monthly charge on auto-pay with the card. Netflix or something like that. Then you won't have to remember to use it. In my case, it's a moot point. My sign up bonus was 50K points, and it takes 85K points for a first class award for US-Europe. So I've got a lot of regular spend to do to meet that. Luckily I've got several very hungry RedBirds to feed.

I'll trying it out by setting one for the following pages:
https://www.miles-and-more.com/onlin...eid=2073359900
www.BarclaycardUS.com/milesandmore
However, it may not work since a 50k offer might show up at some other specific link.

I am a current card holder.. of course I would love to take advantage of the increased sign up bonus... is this going to be possible?
i.e. Can I apply for another one while keep this current or can I cancel my current one today and apply for another one. I think that the T and C says something about a 6 month period between bonuses but does that mean I need to wait 6 months between canceling and applying for a new card?
thanks
