Did you have the same card already open (and this was US Air Card #2 for you)??

No, just two no-AF cards. UPromise and one of their NFL cards. Neither of which get any use, but I generally don't close fee-free CL.

Good question, I just signed my wife up for this card yesterday, I doubt we'll have it before the 20th.

I would imagine though they would have to honor the offer considering when we signed up the bonus was showing as 50K miles.

Data point: Just (auto) approved for #3.

#1 was opened a little over a year ago, and is still open. Just finished a 3 month x $500/mo for a 15K bonus, including $800 of US purchases last month (otherwise would have closed before annual fee hit). Otherwise, no real spend on the card.

#2 Was opened about 7 months ago, and closed about two weeks ago. Allowed its billing cycle to run through following closure before applying for #3. No spend after initial purchase.

Meanwhile, wife can't get approved for #2 (#1 is 8 months old with about $4k spent on it). Go figure

Only a handful of people who work for AA, US and Barclays know the details of their contract, and the specific date after which Barclays will not be able to accept applications. So long as Barclays is accepting applications, apply.

Did Barclays officially stop offering the card in the last couple of days? I am no longer seeing it listed here:

EDIT: Still seeing it here prominently, so never mind: https://www.barclaycardus.com/

My wife has one barclay us air card open, just applied for a second one (fico at 772), app under review.

As mentioned, they almost certainly have to honor the terms of the application. In terms of the miles type awarded, whenever the official merge date passes, all miles would simply be AA miles instead of US miles. It behooves anyone that has a US account with DMs and an existing AA account to make sure to get those accounts linked ASAP.

Does the application status page show anything for her? http://myapplicationstatus.com/

Instant approval abt 3hrs ago. Second card in 6mos.

I have a question. I manage the miles and points for my family. My husband will apply for a card that I recommend but he doesn't like to call in for reconsideration, bonuses, etc. So, he got the US Airways card under the 40,000 miles and then it went up to this 50,000. He did call in some months ago and they told him they would give him the extra 10,000 miles. Now, this was a few months ago and the 10,000 hasn't posted.

He is not going to call in again. I've been trying communicate with Barclays via the SM center but it's hard. Some of the messages they haven't replied to at all. They replied once just saying he wasn't eligible for 50,000 miles since the promotional period has passed. It was clear they didn't really read my message to see he'd already been promised the 10,000 months ago and just never got it. I replied again to that effect yesterday and still no response.

My question, I am an authorized user on the account. Can I call in and talk to them about this issue? I think it's really wrong to say he will get 10,000 miles and then just not get them, but if it's up to him to call in, well, that's not going to happen.

I am curious to see what happens as she only has one barclay card open right now (usair #1) and we closed the arrival card a while ago (5-6 mos). My thinking is that since she has good credit, only one card open with barclay therefore it should be easier to get approved for another one since she has a lot of room for available credit with barclay.

Me on the other hand, I have 3 cards open with them right now (arrival, nfl visa, us air #2). I cancelled my us air #1 about 6 months ago, waited a month or two and applied for a second and went pending, didn't call recon and eventually got approved.

I want to see how hers goes but I'm just finishing up the last month of my $750 spend promo to get 10k pts so I want to see when those pts post and then I may cancel my us air card #2, wait a couple weeks to free up some credit with barclay and then apply for us air #3.

I can't imagine I would get approved for a fourth barclay card? Isn't barclay pretty stingy with CL, I do have great credit though at around 800 fico right now.

IME yes, they are. My FICO score (provided by Barclay themselves) is about the same as yours, and they made me reallocate my total credit line with them the last time I applied for a card - that total credit line is only $25k! I have individual cards from AMEX, CITI, Chase and US Bank with larger credit limits.

This is my experience as well. I have upper 700 score and 2 cards with Barclay totaling $20k. When I called to recon for US Air, they only approved me for $5k more. Said I could reallocate credit if I wanted.

I recently received the promo for 1.5 miles per dollar instead of the standard 1/1. Just wondering if we all got that offer or was I targeted for some reason?

Also, keep your eyes on the miles after you sign up for the 1.5 when the statements come. In my experience almost every time I was supposed to get 1.5, it never quite worked out, and they claimed I had to register for this promotion (even though I did). Just keep an eye on your miles...
