Hmmm.... I could swear I read it here and also on the page you linked to. I may have misinterpreted a part higher on the page than you quoted. I guess I'll just say I am wrong and I apologize.

Is Barcley still blocking non-citizens from applying this card? I recalled I pulled trigger on this one just before GS2011 but was denied.

I did get the instant approve 2 months ago as a non citizen, that was shared in another thread. Basically YMMV.

Barclay's closed my card in November 2011. I got the card in October 2011. They ran a follow up credit check and thought that I had applied for too many cards and was a credit risk. They had told me I could be reconsidered if I paid all my balances down to $0. I pay always the statement balance, but since I charge new stuff then it was constantly reported as more. I have them paid off and this month my credit report should show roughly 1K/17K usage.

Any thoughts on if Barclay's will give me another card? I am not concerned about my creditworthiness, I am just worried that I am red flagged with them. I want another 40,000 miles to book some flights. Should I apply or should I not waste a pull on my credit report?

I haven't been able to find any concrete info regarding the 10,000 mile anniversary bonus.

I was approved for the World card (the one with the Zone2/First Class benefits).

Can anyone confirm that we will actually receive the 10,000 every year? Has anyone received this ever?

Thanks!

I called to confirm this and a supervisor told me that this will indeed be posted to my account after the anniversary. The CSRs are pretty confused about this benefit though so you might have to ask for a supervisor if you don't get a clear answer.

DM number?

Hi. I'm new here, new to freq flying, new to US and new to this card. So pardon me if I'm out of place. But..

Does it say the DM # on the cc site somewhere? (https://www.usairwaysmastercard.com/) I'm a little concerned that my handwriting might've been bad. My address came out wrong (luckily the mailman figured it out). Does the US site mention some kind of link somewhere? Do I have to wait a month for my first statement to post?

I just bought a coffee with the card, and I hope the 40k mi go to my DM acct. tia

Ok. I'm a bit impatient so I called the cc #. Fixed my street address no problemo. And the dude told me the DM # over the phone and it was right. For a credit card, their csr was really quick and helpful. I wish all my cards had no wait time on the phone.

I had this card in the past. Probably a year ago. Will I still get 40 k bonus?

Also can anyone tell me how long it takes for the 40k to post to your dividend miles after your first purchase? Thanks so much.

My second application was pulled from Experian. I'm not happy about that.

My wife got a deal charge $1250.00 for the next 3 months and get 15,000 extra miles...

Called them they would not give it to me....

We both applied same trip, and both have the 40k, each.

Yep, they don't match offers. I know about 8 people who have received this card and only 2 were targeted for the offer. All but me spent no money on the card.

I am targeted for that offer as well; thought I never seemed to get any targeted offers, so I'm pretty excited about this one.
