Barclay US Airways App deadline 4/12/15

happypill — Thu, 12 Mar 2015 16:35:19 GMT

I just got an email offer to apply for the US Airways card, and it says in red lettering "Apply by April 12, 2015". If anyone had been wondering when the deadline to apply was, it looks like that is it. I was considering applying for this card, but my plan is to stay in the garden until July...

If it is a pre-qual offer they will always have experation dates on them... not sure that has anything to do with the change or not.

I'm only going to consider applying if they offer 100,000 miles or something insane like that. However 4/12 sounds like it could be the cut off date, I will remember to check the offers before then.

This is likely the date that US Airways and American miles will begin to merge. At that time, the US Airways card will not be available as Citi is the exclusive provider of American credit cards. US Airways cards are being grandfathered into a program called American Aviator.

Act now if you want the 50,000 miles.

I would suspect 4/12 is the drop-dead date for new cards being available through Barclays. I just received this email on 3/12:

Hello ---,

AAdvantage Executive Platinum Number: ----

In October, we announced we would combine our frequent flyer programs in the second quarter of this year. And now, we're on track to bring the US Airways Dividend Miles® program into the AAdvantage program within the next 30 days. We'll be providing you with more information on timing in the next few weeks.

Glad I jumped on when I did - if you're waiting, you likely have less than a month.

You should get yours.

Actually, they kind of are. 50,000 miles once you (a) make ANY size purchase + (b) pay your first $89 annual fee

It's definitely tempting, but I've got my eyes on a couple other prizes. I'm afriad I'll sabotage my own gardening plans if I try to grab this card before it expires. Gotta stay disciplined, but it's not easy.

Will I get a new card when this happens? The US Airways card is SO ugly.

Yep. Google American Advantage Aviator. It will be an exclusive card solely for former US Airways holders.

i'm not sure if march 20th is the last day to app, but it's before merging begins, at least that's what the email said. so if you have u.s airways and aa acount, need to update that info.

This really is a good offer, in my view.

50K AA miles in of itself may not be that meaningful, but it becomes much more so when combined with Citi AAs 50K. Moreover, the Citi AA business cards 50K can mean one can acquire 150K AA miles relatively easily.

also having no real min spend to get the miles is an really nice option. I am tempted to try and get second us airways card but i think 3 moths is too short an period in between apps so may pass on that.

6 months will always meet with success, at 3 months it'll be reviewed. It's possible if you recon and offer a good reason for the extra card.

I don't think my reasoning of wanting to go first class to bkk instead of business is an good enough reason haha. I think i will hold off and see if BOA surprises me this year and offers the 50k for Alaska Air cards. I would pick up personal and business versions in a heartbeat if possible. My poor EX score is going to plummet even more lol

There was a post the other day from someone who was able to get second card after getting his first in November. I got mine early December and I am very tempted to try for a second one
