The "Apply Now" button is back. It appears that the nerfs took hold without any added benefits. With 5% bonus rewards now you'd have to spend about $90k per year to make it better than a standard 2% card. Still good for the sign-on bonus I guess.

Yeah, I go back and forth whether to get rid of this card or not. I'm due for AF renewal. I think I'm going to stick with them for now, but I'm thinking I might jump ship to CSP.

I think I'll apply after I am done meeting current spend bonuses. Might as well get the 40,000 points while they're still offering it! + it would be my first WEMC! I am guessing Barclays will want to slash my Sallie Mae CL to open it though 
As I mentioned in a previous thread, the nerf doesn't affect what this card does best, and that's offering a $400 sign up bonus for 1 TU pull. That is a huge bargain in my book because every bank wants EX for me. Barclays seems to be okay with that as well, so it will continue being a popular target for churners. I'm sure they were the majority that were concerned when the card went down.
They did complete wrong, they should reduce the signing Bonus and improve the on going benefits, at this point, nobody would keep the card for 2nd year, they give up $400 bonus for nothing.
