If I apply for the personal and business barclays AA card on the same day will it be only 1 hard pull?

Also, what is the reason that people on the CIIT forum do not seem to talk about this card? Is it because you have to pay the AF to get the miles as opposed to the minimum spend on the CIIT and then can cancel before the fee? Am I correct in understanding that as long as I am willing to pay the fee - trying to get AA miles fast - then no reason I can't get a personal and business Barclays and Citi (and then start doing mailers on the citi)?

Because that is the Citi card and this is Barclays. There is no thread that talks about the two combined because each bank has it's own rules. And, yes, you can get both...many of us have.

I searched for a method to set up an autopay for half an hour. I tried on my phone and my laptop. I just could not believe that there was no way to set up autopay.

I just have to send a SM with my banking info. That is very strange but should not be difficult, i think. I found where I could read SM. I have not figured out how to send a SM! Any clues?

Left side of the page after you log in, the icon that looks like a small house with pillars (hover over it and it says "services"). Click on that.

Next page, top right of the page is a blue box with a gray button that says "send message".

When I log on using the business card web portal, there's a big blue box on the right with a button that says "make payment". Click on that and you enter account number, routing number, etc. (It's not how I make payments to credit card companies but it wasn't difficult to find, IMO.)
The website is okay, but my overall experience has been super crappy. Tried to set up autopay on the portal, but that can't be done. I find out eventually on FT that you need to call them, so I do. The rep tells me he can't do that and I need to send an SM with my bank info. I send my SM and two days later, they respond saying they can't handle my request and I need to call in instead! I write back complaining that the experience has been terrible so far and they don't really read what you write, because I get the same copy/paste answer that I need to call in...

Anyone has received the extra 10,000 miles after you called Barclays to match the latest 60,000 miles promotion? I called to request for match several weeks ago. The rep said he would submit the request for approval and it could take 1-2 statement cycles. I have received the sign up bonus 50,000 miles but not the additional 10k. Any data points?

Same story here and no miles yet but second statement cycle didn't close yet.

I thought the website is crappy - but I had to select "company account" not my default credit card account upon login (by clicking one of the buttons on the top). Otherwise, statement isn't correct, annual fee won't show up, payment won't go through. I realized this after setting up a payment via phone.

My wife got rejected - very strange, as this is her first time applying for this card.

Just noticed an extra 20k (totaling 70k) when I logged on today with a posted date of 10/5 (Friday).

I also received the adjusted bonus (10k) on the 2nd statement close date. Not sure how you received 20k but glad you did.

Data Point and Question...
Both myself and wife were denied middle of August. Legit business with good income and neither of us had ever had the card. Reason for denial...They have already extended us enough credit. We each have the personal Aaviator version w/$20K line of credit. No other Barclays cards. Rep would not reduce the line on the personal cards to allow for the new business card. We called back later and reduced our lines to $5K. Safe to apply again now?

Any DPs on proper timing to PC/cancel this card to reapply?
