Hi;

I wanted to confirm that you can't double dip on the EQD with this and the Silver Aviator. I've read the T&C, which says you can't exceed the maximum, but I didn't see where the maximum was specified as $3k EQD.

If it matters, it would be my first year of having the business card (had the Silver Aviator for a while).

are there any restrictions on getting the bonus if you already received a bonus from the consumer red card?

No. I've done both.

The AF just hit on my Barclays AA business card. If I close it do I have to wait 2 years before I can app again? I can't get the signup bonus with the card open correct?

How long did it take for you to be approved? AND
How long does it take for card to arrive after approval?

I too got charged first year AF 10 days ago. Did you cancel for refund?

I applied June 22nd and am still waiting on a decision. They have an abnormally high number of apps and said it will take longer than usual.

I applied on 7/1, the same day they send me a letter which I got on 7/6, they are asking me to send a copy of my DL/SS and original utility bill or bank statement (which I don't have because of electronic statements). The only issue I found that I need to to send those documents by mail (no fax or email). If I check my application I get "Currently we are unable to offer you a credit card issued by Barclays Bank Delaware. Details on why we could not make you a credit offer will be mailed to you". I used to have Silver Aviator which I canceled like 6 weeks ago.

You can't print out a statement? I do that if I need to and I usually do it all electronically.

Yes I can (not an issue), but I found it weird they said original when many people use eStatement.

Something very similar happened to me earlier this year. I got what was, to me at least, a ridiculous 20th (or 19th) century letter asking for copies of stuff I didn't have, like a social security card. So I just gave up, if for no other reason than that it said all the stuff had to reach them by 30 days from the date of the letter, which was something like 12 days before I even received their letter.

FWIW, I have more credit cards than dogs have fleas, never get turned down (other than this one, to the extent it's a turn-down), and one of my oldest cards is a Barclays AA card. Made no difference -- it was as though I did not / do not exist to them.

OT, but the only good thing to come out of this waste of time was that it motivated me to get a copy of my birth certificate so that I could then get a social security card!

FYI, it took 11 days to receive my approval.

My wife wasn't asked to submit any documentation for her app (about 6 weeks ago) for this card. Was approved after a few days or so. Years in business, revenue, etc. were all zeros in her app. ~25 year solid credit history, 800+ FICO, no hard pulls for that bureau in the past 24 months. No idea what drives the request in some cases and not others. To me it's worth the hard pull to try but YMMV of course.
