I was wondering, those of you that might have 2 Barclay US Air cards, how long after getting your first did you apply for a second card?
Can you have 2 open cards or do you hav eto close one first before you apply for a 2nd one?

You can get two barclaycards if you managed to get auto-approved. If you have a lot of inquiries, new barclaycard accounts, a lot of new accounts, or a threshold file, they might send you to manual review. Manual review or recon will almost always fail if you already have the card. People get 2 cards by usually waiting at least 3 months from their last application and keeping applications to a minimum about 6 months before the application to make the chance of an automatic computer based approval higher. While I don't know if this particular card allows two, most barclaycards do.
However, why do you want two cards? This is not a card with maximum spends in specific categories. If you are doing it for a sign-up bonus, it probably is not worth it. Most companies have a 12-24 month lockout on getting a second bonus for the same card. The lockout usually begins on the day the original card was closed. I don't know if Barclays specifically has a lockout because I have not yet churned any of their cards, but most other companies do.
Getting two 50k signup bonuses i would assume would be the reason. Getting them converted to AA could make it them quite valuable imo. There are some good deals to be had with AA miles. I think they are undervalued by an lot of people, when compared to UR or MR and points with multiple partners.

Depends. I find United and BA Avios to be pretty darn valuable
AA to cathay first class is hard to beat for only 135 k miles :-) BA is almost twice that for the same flight :-). it all depends on what you want to fly and where

Well yeah...I suppose if you are flying to the orient then AA miles are pretty hard to beat.
If you are flying internationally in general i think aa miles are pretty solid, the no fuel surcharge thing is pretty nice. The only one that can compete with AA miles for redemption on cathay is Alaska air i think.
