Sam at <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"http:\/\/helpmebuildcredit.com\">HelpMeBuildCredit.com<\/a> started by letting me know about other heightened offers from Barclays, and I heard from many of you about their rules. Let\u2019s go over both:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/cards.barclaycardus.com\/banking\/cards\/jetblue-business-card\/\">JetBlue Business Card<\/a> has an offer for:\n<p>\u2013 80,000 TrueBlue points and a $99 statement credit after spending $2,000 in 90 days<\/p>\n<p>The card has a $99 annual fee which is effectively erased by the statement credit. As with yesterday\u2019s Barclay AA card offer, this one is probably a \u201cget the sign-up bonus, sock-drawer, then cancel or get a retention offer after your one year anniversary\u201d card. That said, I know a few of you like to keep it and spend $50,000 a year for Mosaic status.<\/li>\n<li>The Hawaiian Business Mastercard has an offer for:\n<p>\u2013 80,000 Hawaiian Airlines miles and a $99 statement credit after spending $2,000 in 90 days<\/p>\n<p>This card also has a $99 annual fee effectively erased by the statement credit. This is also a sock-drawer and cancel after a year card.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>And, a few things that came up in the last day:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Q: Can I have multiple versions of the same Barclays card? <br \/>A: No<\/li>\n<li>Q: Do I have to close a card to apply for it again?<br \/>A: Yes<\/li>\n<li>Q: Will Barlcays offer to match a retention bonus if you recently opened a card?<br \/>A: Sometimes, <a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=ymmv\">YMMV<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Q: Do I really have to wait six months between closing a particular card and opening the same card again?<br \/>A: Probably, YMMV<\/li>\n<li>Q: Does Barclays care about credit line cycling?<br \/>A: They don\u2019t seem to care on business cards as long as it\u2019s 2-3x per month, they\u2019re stricter on personal cards<\/li>\n<li>Q: Barclays doesn\u2019t care about anonymous bill payments.<br \/>A: That\u2019s not a question<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And finally, I\u2019ve been told that Barclays may not enforce 6\/24 at all on personal cards \u2014 if you have a datapoint related to that I\u2019d appreciate it if you let me know.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Wednesday friends!<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-editorskit-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4425\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" src=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/barclays2.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/barclays2.jpeg 840w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/barclays2-300x259.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/barclays2-768x662.jpeg 768w\" width=\"420\"\/><figcaption>Against all odds, Barclays comes back for another post.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday\u2019s post spurred plenty of questions, discussion, and further digging.
