Barclays NFL CC No Annual Fee - $400 Statement Credit after $1000 spend in 90 days YMMV
 

The links for NFL Barclay's card which gives 400$ as a statement credit after spending 1000$ has already been posted. But only the links for the Generic NFL card, bears, packers and cowboys have been posted. I am posting the links of other teams. It took me a while to figure this out and I have already posted the same in Flyertalk as well.

Although this is a repost, I figured people could apply to the teams that they care for instead of just getting the card for 400$ and have a card of a team they did not care for.
You can also call to apply - 1-866-951-7194 to apply

It seems like "Visa cards are not getting approved and Mastercards are getting approved. I would apply for a mastercard, get the bonus and then if you want to keep the card , change the card to the team you follow. Ofcourse I have not tried it, so it is a big YMMV"

Please be kind, this is my very first post.

Here are the links and if they dont work please let me know. Please check the terms/conditions in the application page for the 40000 point bonus which equals 400$ of statement credit spelled out. Also for people who already have the 400$ bonus card or 200$ bonus card, I do not know if you will get a second card. It all depends on your credit worthiness and the snooty Barclays customer service.

Barclay’s Credit Card Reconsideration

866-408-4064 connects directly to a credit analyst

This post can and should be edited by users like you :)
 

Got the card and 41.XXX point (the 1.XXX comes from $1000+ I purchased). Pay attention when you use the point. If you pay for purchase with 25.01 for example you will lost 2600 point not 2501 point. So you will not get all $400 (a little bit less) but try to apply it wisely.

THIS OFFER IS DEAD, DEAD, DEAD. THE NOV20 LINK WILL TAKE YOU TO WHAT LOOKS LIKE A WORKING APPLICATION FOR THE 40,000 PT/$400 OFFER - WHICH WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR REVIEW - BUT BARCLAYS WILL NOT APPROVE IT NO MATTER WHAT YOUR CREDIT RATING BECAUSE THE OFFER HAS EXPIRED (TRIED IT AND WAS TOLD THAT BY BARCLAYS).

Nov 20: DEAD. - All links in first post lead to an "Expired Offer"
DEAD - Steelers Card
https://www.barclaycardus.com/app/japply/WebAppGate.jsp?obchannel=033&browserUserAgent=Mozilla%2F5.0+%28Windows+NT+6.1%3B+rv%3A16.0%29+Gecko%2F20100101+Firefox%2F16.0&campaignId=1717&clickid=&outboundAdLocation=365&sqGroup=20&prodidreq=CCVVS48890&obcreative=0000000&product.IowaEnable=false&partne rid=1654&ibchannel=03&appcreative=03570&landcreative=000000&referrerid=BCRWDS111&listid=&obadloc=365&landpage=00000&campaignid=0001717&VASPPP=CPDC0014&legacy=true

So I was denied as per my previous posts. I called them up and they said some of my information "wasn't matching with their records." She asked me a few questions and then I was magically approved for $8k. My suggestion to anyone who is flat out denied is to call them. Also, I called the number in the wiki and they told me I needed to call a different department. The number was 888-232-0776.



Nov 8: Semi-DEAD. All of the links result in an "expired offer" message, except for the links that says working links in the first post. Till someone applies and update it here, we will not know if the links actually leads to application approval.

Bummer for people who already have the $200 bonus card:
Unless otherwise stated in the offer, these bonuses and/or awards are intended for persons who are not, and have not previously been, Barclays NFL Extra Points cardmembers. You understand and agree that, unless we otherwise state, you are no longer eligible to receive these bonuses and/or awards for any new NFL Extra Points account after your first NFL Extra Points credit card account is opened. If you receive a bonus or award for which you are not eligible, we may revoke the bonus or award, or reduce your Points by the amount of the award, or charge your account for the fair value of the bonus or award, at our option.

UPDATE: The 49ers Visa Card will automatically decline everyone before a credit pull due to an expired offer. I assume it's the same for a good chunk of these cards.

Main page of my account details, click the "Rewards Program Terms & Conditions"

B) First Use Bonus Points - After using your Extra Points card to make an initial purchase or balance transfer, you will be eligible
to receive a one-time bonus award of ten thousand (10,000) Points. Bonus Points will be posted at the close of your first billing
statement after an initial qualifying purchase or balance transfer is made. Balance Transfer Checks do not qualify for bonus Points.

(B) Bonus Points - Forty thousand (40,000) Bonus Points will be awarded after at least $1000.00 in Net Purchases (that are not later returned or rescinded) in the first 90 days after account opening. Bonus Points will be posted at the close of your first billing statement after an initial qualifying purchase or balance transfer is made. Balance Transfer Checks do not qualify for bonus points.
Right on the main page, and what it said before I signed up:

----------------------------------

FAQ:
1. Can I still get the 50,000 points for signing up?
No, the 10,000 points for first purchase is dead. You can still get the 40,000 statement credit, however ($400).

2. I signed up for team ____, but got the Packers! What the heck!
Some people seem to be experiencing this. Call 866-421-8004 and have them change it.

3. How much do I have to spend to get the points?
You must spend $1,000 in 3 months.

4. What are the restrictions for spending $1,000
Purchases must be over $25.00.
- This is somewhat true. You need to have charges that are more than $25 to apply your credits to.
Just verified with my copy paper of ToS: It doesn't matter what amounts are spent to get to $1000, it just has to be NET $1000 without any refunds or things that get pulled.

"Card members may redeem points for a variety of rewards including NFL gift cards, certain NFL merchandise, NFL collectibles, NFL based experiences, and cash back via a statement credit towards any purchase transactions of $25 or more that posted to your account within the last 90 days."

5. Do gift card purchases work with this deal?
Yes, you may purchase gift cards, but they MUST be from a store: Ex. you can't order an AMEX gift card online.
YMMV, but was able to buy AMEX giftcards from AMEX and get rewards

Reconsideration # (866) 408-4064 Open M-F 8a-8p EST

This offer is available only to applicants who are residents of the United States, with the exception of Iowa, Puerto Rico and the US territories


Nov. 5, 2012 update: Green Bay Packers MasterCards seems to be getting approved; other teams' cards, not so much, or people are waiting to hear. Perhaps a best bet: go with the Packers . . . .

Nov. 7, 2012 late afternoon update: Despite what some Barclays telephone reps. have told people (the Barclays phone reps. just don't know about this promotion, and don't have the information), the promotion still is on and applications still are being granted, at least for Green Bay Packers MasterCards.

thanks. I am sure I am the only person in the world with a Rams card.

U sure we will get 400 other than 200? Could u please post the 400 link?

I don't think they let you stack these, right? Can't get the Visa (I got in on the $200 deal) and this time try for the Mastercard to get $400?

I tried. scored both. However, customer rep did question me about it but mine was one VISA and other mastercard. I think it depends on customer service rep.

idk if you wanna try it or not coz if we didn't get it then there will be a hard pull unnecessarily.

What was your excuse in applying for the second one? And I don't see myself the $400 coming up when I use any of these links. Am I missing something?

I said, I don't have mastercard with barclays and would like to get mastercard (I applied for visa 200 deal)

if they say that they can't give you more credit then ask them to distribute credit between cards.

I don't see $400 anywhere either. :|

EDIT: I applied for $400 earlier (about a month ago)

Everyone is getting denied....Plus No EAGLES card wth

Can you not read? It's the first card that was linked,

I just got approved. I clicked the very first link---ru sure you get 40000 points ? I blew past the fine print.
Never mind---I read it. Thi sis legit. Unlike the one from the other day. Repped

It is infact for the $400 reward. Look for 40,000 reward points in the terms and conditions.

We're always updating the Barclays website which sometimes makes hotlinks out of date.
Visit www.barclaycardus.com to locate our most current pages.

my wife has the visa and got $40k points 2 months ago..can i reapply her for the mc and get another 40k? anyone ever apply for 2 and get both bonuses...id like to know before getting a hard pull

will not work..

is it better to apply during the business hour for fast response? or it doesnt matter?

We're in the process of reviewing the information you provided for your XXXXX NFL Extra Points Visa Card application. -------does this mean declined ? Did anyone got approved instantly?

[QUOTE=gezzuzz;54449146]will not work..[/QUOTE

reason?

it worked for me here on this deal 100k points http://slickdeals.net/f/5212330-C...00-K-bonus


im asking because i want to know if its the same kind of deal..apply for visa and mc and get 80k

It doesn't matter if you ask me. If you haven't recently applied to Barclay's you might be approved right away. If it goes to pending you would have to tell them why you need a second card. On the flip side, if they see an uptick in applications, they might shut this down. So it is better to apply sooner than later

I applied for and was instantly approved for the MasterCard. I've never had this card before. I applied again for the Visa a few minutes later but that is pending decision.

How do we know on the initial application page that there would be a credit of $400 or 40,000 points for establishing this new account. I dont see anything mentioned regarding this on the application of the terms and conditions.

Find the "terms and conditions" link on the application page and you'll find the bonus offer of 40,000 points after spending $1000 in 90 days.

Earning Points

Cardmembers earn Extra Points (“Points”) in the Program. Cardmembers earn Points in the following amounts:

(A) Points are awarded based on Net Purchases for each NFL and DirecTV® purchase transaction at a rate of two (2) Points per dollar ($1.00) spent based on the merchant category code. Cardmembers will also earn one (1) Point for every dollar ($1.00) spent on all other Net Purchases on the Account. NFL purchase transactions are Net Purchases made at NFLShop.com, participating NFL team retail and online stores and NFL Team stadiums. DirecTV® purchase transactions are Net Purchases made directly with DirecTV®. Purchases not eligible to receive the 2 Points per dollar ($1.00) are any purchases that do not fall under these qualifying merchant categories. We do not determine whether merchants correctly identify and bill transactions as being made (or not made) at any of these designated categories. Please note that it is possible that some merchant categories may not meet our eligibility criteria. Additional qualifying merchant categories may be added in the future that will qualify for the 2 Points per dollar ($1.00).

(B) Bonus Points - Forty thousand (40,000) Bonus Points will be awarded after at least $1000.00 in Net Purchases (that are not later returned or rescinded) in the first 90 days after account opening. Bonus Points will be posted at the close of your first billing statement after an initial qualifying purchase or balance transfer is made. Balance Transfer Checks do not qualify for bonus points.

There is no limit to the amount of Points that you can earn. Points are not transferable and cannot be transferred or sold. Points post to your monthly statement unless your Account is closed earlier whether by you or by Barclays

Got it, thanks!

This is a great deal. Did this deal the last time it was offered and received everything and then some. I want to go for the Mastercard, however it is to soon and I doubt I will get the bonus.

Definite thumbs up for the poster for letting people know the deal is back !!

pretty nifty deal. Got it last week for wife. Already got the cashback.

Got approved for the MasterCard Redskins one for $3,300 limit not bad.

400$ is a lot...

I could buy a nice gaming laptop and net 800$

Same for me let me know how it goes for Visa

my MC app is also under review. i currently have a MC with them, so i wonder if that may have an effect?

I am a new customer to them.
First I applied for visa...it went pending.
Then I tried for master card, got approved instant

Woohoo! Applied for Visa a few day ago didn't get approve right away so I called in and they said offer expired and couldn't honor it and said no credit pulled. Now I tried again for MC instead of Visa and got instantly approved! Thank OP!

I don't see anywhere on the page that says 40000 points. Am i the only one not seeing it?

Yes you are the only one. Read the Terms and Conditions.

(B) Bonus Points - Forty thousand (40,000) Bonus Points will be awarded after at least $1000.00 in Net Purchases (that are not later returned or rescinded) in the first 90 days after account opening. Bonus Points will be posted at the close of your first billing statement after an initial qualifying purchase or balance transfer is made. Balance Transfer Checks do not qualify for bonus points.

Same...

Applied and got the review screen. 735 CK score.

I applied for the MC and was instantly approved. Does anyone know if you can apply for the MC AND the Visa and get the 400.00 bonus for each ?

Already been said a few times..... NO <<<<:wave:

I want this, but I already made my large purchases for the next 90 days...

Really ? Said where ? I see a few people said they applied and were pending for the second card, no one said definitively they were turned down for the second card after being approved for the first. :wave:

Are you sure? i remember reading in the old thread that people got both the cards with bonus

Is there a reason only certain teams are Mastercard?

pay some bills with the CC, and everything else you do every day (grocery, eating out, gas) youll easily hit $1000 in 90 days

Why are you guys applying both MC and Visa? i though this deal is for one card only?

If i apply for both MC and Visa.. do you think i'll get $400 each ($800) for $2000 spend?

Thanks

My guess would be sponsorship. Teams may have individual deals, though it doesnt match the NFL's M.O. on being super controlling over everything.

anyone have the $400 link to the non-team NFL Visa card?

I also got the review screen with a 780 score.

its true. "Forty thousand (40,000) Bonus Points" does NOT
appear anywhere on my app page also.


edit:

nevermind..

which CR are they pulling? and which state are you in? thanks

id like to know this as well anyone know? for sure? please dont just say no without explaiining why

Click on terms and conditions at top, in red. Then scroll down to Reward rules, then read the earning points section. 40k points is equal to a $400 statement credit.

I tried to get both cards and was instantly approved for one card, but was not for the other.

but what if you were to be approved...will you get the 40k on the second card

your saying no because you didnt get the card?

Thank you for applying. We'll need more time to review the information you provided for your Extra Points Mastercard® application.

There is no need to reapply and it may take up to 10 days to process your application. We will send you an email upon review of your application.

You can also visit our website to check the status at: www.myapplicationstatus.com/barclays

Further evaluation needed for Titans Visa (assumed to be dead based on other thread).
Instant approval for Green Bay MasterCard.

If I were to be approved for second card they would have to adhere to the written terms and conditions for the application.

OK, what I think I'm seeing is that people are being instantly approved for MCs but not for Visas, correct? My team is offered in Visa, but while I like my team, I like instant approval more...

Yes I'm noticing that too, is there any Team people applied for on a Visa card and got instant approval?

The visa has to be dead. I tried the Visa (didn't read the thread first) and got more time needed. I clicked on the link to check status and it said no application had been received. I then went back in and applied for a MC and instantly approved.

I got the same response for Giants mastercard, now what? :confused:

Approved instantly for Mastercard. $7,000 limit, 815 credit score. Weird thing was it said for the Packers card when I selected another team.

Quick question. It is $400 after spending $1000. How long does it take to get the points? Also, can I use the $400 credit to pay on part of the $1000 purchase or does it have to be a new purchase on top of the $1000?

Bonus Points - Forty thousand (40,000) Bonus Points will be awarded after at least $1000.00 in Net Purchases (that are not later returned or rescinded) in the first 90 days after account opening. Bonus Points will be posted at the close of your first billing statement after an initial qualifying purchase or balance transfer is made.

Congratulations, you have been approved for your
Green Bay Packers Extra Points MasterCard with a Revolving Credit
Line of $7,500.00

I chose the Seahawks card, but oh well. Thanks, OP!

Instant approval for GB MC (didn't bother trying a different team) for $8k. Thanks OP.

I believe the 40k bonus has been expired. I tried to apply as well and when it was up to the confirmation where the terms and condition appears again, if you read the Reward section, there's nothing mention about the 40k bonus. So I don't think it's valid anymore, at least to me, it is not.

On the one I was approved on, I setup an onine account and it clearly shows on there the 40K bonus after spending $1000.

The TCs also appeared again for me prior to final submission, and the language was still there.

They need more time for mine...both of them. LOL!

Thanks OP! TU and repped!

Edit: Third time's the charm!

Aha! GB MC Approved!

I wouldn't bother with the other ones...

Congratulations, you have been approved for your



Green Bay Packers Extra Points MasterCard with a Revolving Credit Line of $7,000.00

Thank you for applying. We'll need more time to review the information you provided for your Extra Points Mastercard® application.

There is no need to reapply and it may take up to 10 days to process your application. We will send you an email upon review of your application.

I have NFL Visa Signature ....and this is Mastercard...not sure it is on hold :'(

Same here - "First Use Bonus" under "Program Overview"

You can login and check under the Rewards tab -> program overview.
For me it is mentioned clearly as below:

Earning Potential Where?
2 points for every $1 spent on NFL purchases Partner Purchases
1 point for every $1 spent on purchases Purchases
40,000 points for $1K spent in first 90 days First Use Bonus

Same thing -- applied for Seahawks and said I was approved for Packers. Kind of amusing haha -- GB trying to increase their fan base??

expiration date?
 

Anyone know when this deal expires?

weird, applied for jets card, pending on the giants. Don't want the giants card. Got rejected for the nfl visa card. Oh well.

edit: nevermind

where can you find how much each reward point is worth (in terms of statement credit) ?

*note- i have no account yet, so i cannot login to site.

(B) Bonus Points - Forty thousand (40,000) Bonus Points will be awarded after at least $1000.00 in Net Purchases (that are not later returned or rescinded) in the first 90 days after account opening. Bonus Points will be posted at the close of your first billing statement after an initial qualifying purchase or balance transfer is made. Balance Transfer Checks do not qualify for bonus points.

I have the Visa Signature from the $200 deal; just applied for an MC online and got pending approval...

i got the visa last time abt a month back and applied for MC today and got shot down

same here im calling them tommorow to reconsider...well see

Do any of you guys have high utilization right now? My score is great but I'm abusing a 0 APR credit card ($4888/$6500 atm) . I do have the funds to pay it off anytime, but the statement won't update to the credit bureau for quite a bit. My score is about 750.

I applied for the Steelers card and afterwards it said congrats on your Green Bay Packers card.

Well, looks like I'll never use this except for on-line purchases....

I did this last time, and am trying to use my points for tickets....anyone else having a problem using rewards? when I click on redeem for experiences/tickets/whatever it kicks me over to NFLshop, asks me to login, whenever I log in, it kicks me back to the CC.....if anybody has a workaround let me know....both sites kick me back and forth to each other and don't let me stay logged in-

i used the points as a credit on my account... the whole $400... unless they points are worth more using them for tickets i would just use them as cash,, pay for the tickets with the credit card and apply the credit.. dump your cell phone bill or something on it and use you points towards it...

Rep'd !
Nice deal

Sorry I am new to this, but statement credit can only be spent using the credit card and can't be withdrawn to get cash back?

:lol::lmao:

Is there any annual fee?

I cannot guarantee this works, but someone in flyertalk said once they got the bonus they were able to change the card to the team they follow. So YMMV. But I would first get the bonus before doing the change.

Thanks for the tip, worked for me likewise, after unsuccessful app for Giants MC.

I want to guarantee there is no fee as well. Also, can't they just dilute the point value after everyone signs up?

I applied on phone with rep and he said the promotion would hold if you are approved for both, but you can only apply for one card at a time, read about problems with visa, so applied for that while on phone, was instantly approved, then applied online for mastercard when I hung up, and says that approval is pending. hopefully that will come through too!

Thanks for the info! I captured a screenshot if I need to refer to it later.

Got it.
I am doing all my Christmas shopping on it and paying off the balance with the cash I set aside for presents.
There's nothing like getting 40% back. :worship:

LOL! I applied for the NY Giants Mastercard and when I checked my application status, it says:

Is this some sick joke? :shake:

"Cardmembers may redeem Points for a variety of rewards including NFL gift cards, certain NFL merchandise, NFL collectibles, NFL based experiences, and cash back via a statement credit towards any purchase transactions of $25 or more that posted to your account within the last 90 days."

From the TOC, stupid question I think but what does that last line mean? To apply the 400 to a statement credit, do the purchases have to be for $25+ ? Or is my daily $2 coffee going to be eligible to apply the statement credit to?

Aren't you guys afraid of all the hard inquiries on your credit for applying to multiple cards? I would like to get on this but it seems only Mastercards are approving and I don't dare betray the 49ers. :) $400 is mighty tempting. I would have to spend $40,000 on my current cards to get this much cash back. I need a new card anyways because I don't want to pay the Delta sky miles yearly fee. Is this card worth keeping long term? (Easy to pay online? Hassle free?) Thanks!

re
 

you are right, you can't get credit for a $2 coffee it has to be at least $25 to be eligable for the reimbursement credit

I would say if you pay your bills on time and you have a good credit go for it, Get the mastercard and sock it after you hit the spend and bonus. Barclays sent a promotion to current cardholders "spend 500 each month for 3 months and get 200 back". Ofcourse you can always try to convert it to 49ers and see what happens after you get the bonus

Just applied for Jets and my status is for Giants. Meh.

hahhahahaha

They probably ran out of the Giants and have plenty of Cowboys cards to give away ;)

At least on the Packers card, the TCs say "Annual Fee: $0".

Got the Eagles mastercard, and info stated:

(B) Bonus Points - Forty thousand (40,000) Bonus Points will be awarded after at least $1000.00 in Net Purchases (that are not later returned or rescinded) in the first 90 days after account opening. Bonus Points will be posted at the close of your first billing statement after an initial qualifying purchase or balance transfer is made. Balance Transfer Checks do not qualify for bonus points.

Really surprised on the $1,000 credit limit it gave me. I have perfect credit, and only 2 other cards that always are paid off right away, and my limit on those is a lot higher

This doesn't look like a good general rewards card, it looks to be all NFL/Direct TV purchasing related to get half decent rewards. I think everyone here is doing it for the $400 bonus, then throw the card in a drawer.

Here is the rewards system:
Earning Points

Cardmembers earn Extra Points (“Points”) in the Program. Cardmembers earn Points in the following amounts:

(A) Points are awarded based on Net Purchases for each NFL and DirecTV® purchase transaction at a rate of two (2) Points per dollar ($1.00) spent based on the merchant category code. Cardmembers will also earn one (1) Point for every dollar ($1.00) spent on all other Net Purchases on the Account. NFL purchase transactions are Net Purchases made at NFLShop.com, participating NFL team retail and online stores and NFL Team stadiums. DirecTV® purchase transactions are Net Purchases made directly with DirecTV®. Purchases not eligible to receive the 2 Points per dollar ($1.00) are any purchases that do not fall under these qualifying merchant categories. We do not determine whether merchants correctly identify and bill transactions as being made (or not made) at any of these designated categories. Please note that it is possible that some merchant categories may not meet our eligibility criteria. Additional qualifying merchant categories may be added in the future that will qualify for the 2 Points per dollar ($1.00).

2 or 3 won't make a difference.

waiting to approval.....mc

same thing happened to me!

It's not that difficult to check on your own just by reading the card agreement on the "Confirm your details" page. "Annual Fee: $0"

How many credit cards is too many in the eyes of credit card companies? I'm only at 2 which is pretty low but curious nonetheless.

Is this deal dead? I no longer see the 40,000 points offer in the terms and conditions.

Had the same questions.

Check this out:
http://www.wisebread.com/6-myths-...up-bonuses

My mother-in-law has at least 8 different credit cards between visa, mastercard, and discover. Her credit was bad from a divorce over 10 years ago. It got better about a year ago, and she just kept applying and getting, and for some reason she gets high limits too. Her credit is only between ok-good, and mine is considered great, and I got declined for an offer a couple months back. Don't get it sometimes

i applied for a jets card (i know no jokes its hard being a jet fan but i am loyal) and its says thanks for applying for a new york giants card!!

Thanks for the post. Is 23 days for due date typical?

"How to Avoid Paying Interest on PurchasesYour due date is at least 23 days after the close of each billing cycle. We will not charge you interest on purchases if you pay your entire balance by the due date each month."

You don't bills? Car Food Girlfriend?

Deal is still on. Just applied for the Mastercard and was approved instantly. Thanks OP

Wife and I applied for this card a month or so ago. We use our CC's for everything, and pay them off every month. We'll see how the credit works on the next statement. It's taken me several years to amass $500 on my Discover, but one month to get $400? Geesh, I need to start taking advantage of these offers more often.

darn, I applied for last $200 deal and got a MC. Is there anyone lucky enough to get Visa approved? from this thread it does not seem to be the case?

MC application under review. 740 credit score but did just finance a car 2 weeks ago, not sure if that will have anything to do with it.

WTF....not available for residents of Iowa? Wonder if that is a page error. The state is not included in the list.

Edit: Those sob's! "This offer is available only to applicants who are residents of the United States, with the exception of Iowa, Puerto Rico and the US territories"

"Thank you for your recent application. We're in the process of reviewing the information you provided for your Buffalo Bills NFL Extra Points Visa Card application. "

Not even the card I applied for like others. Does anyone know how to cancel these applications (or does anyone know if that message means declined?)???

I agree with what others have said. Don't bother with the Visa cards just apply for the GB Mastercard. I got approved for $7,500 instantly on that one

"Thank you for applying. We'll need more time to review the information you provided for your Extra Points Mastercard® application.

There is no need to reapply and it may take up to 10 days to process your application. We will send you an email upon review of your application.

You can also visit our website to check the status at: www.myapplicationstatus.com/barclays"
===========

Tried Jets Mastercard.
741 CK score.

Applying for this card will have any impact on credit score?

Uh oh.. Main page of my account details, click the "Rewards Program Terms & Conditions"

B) First Use Bonus Points - After using your Extra Points card to make an initial purchase or balance transfer, you will be eligible
to receive a one-time bonus award of ten thousand (10,000) Points. Bonus Points will be posted at the close of your first billing
statement after an initial qualifying purchase or balance transfer is made. Balance Transfer Checks do not qualify for bonus Points.

Right on the main page, and what it said before I signed up:

40,000 points for $1K spent in first 90 days First Use Bonus

Does this mean I get $100 for using it the first time, and $400 more after I spend $1,000, or does that mean I have a phone call in the near future when I put $1,000 on it?

Another data point. Applied NFL generic VISA on 9/27 and approved after call in. Applied Cowboys MC today. On the app submission page it says:
When I check the status on the above specified link, it says:

TU FICO 752

EDIT: Anyone know what the reconsideration # is? The old one (866) 369-1283 doesn't seem to work.

Deal is definitely available for those willing to get MasterCard. Just applied for the Steelers and was approved instantly for the GreenBay Packers!!!! Well atleast it's not a bad team!!!
(BTW: I'm all Ravens... but follow anyone who's willing to give their blood & sweat on the field! Both Steelers & Packers qualify!)

Thanks OP! TU

Instantly approved for $7,500 credit line for a Philly Eagles master card. Hope I can change it to a Patriots one later!

How long will this deal go for? Im buying a house right now (underwriting stage) I was advised to not open any new accounts. But I want in on this deal!!

Got a Green Bay MC in Feb 2011 but it was $250 cash back I think , i"ve since cancelled the card. Can I get in on this deal?

Is anyone else not seeing the 40,000 bonus points on the Terms and Conditions page???

Falcons Visa under review

What kind of stuff can the points actually be spent on?

$400 towards severely overpriced NFL gear doesn't really wet my lips.

Probably quite a few people who, like you, didnt scroll down

Read the terms and conditions: "40,000 points can also be used towards child support payments, parking tickets and/or making it rain"

Statement credit... Buy $400 in whatever you want (even hookers if they take visa/mastercard), and just redeem reward for a statement credit.

Ok I see the 40000 that is equvalent to $400, but can you get cash back or MC/Visa giftcard, or do you have to go and redeem "GIFTS" from their website. Could be that the stuff they are offereing for $400 is not worth $400. Anyone have a link on where to redeem. Thanks in advance

haha nice

O ok, that is a sweet deal then

thanks!

I got approved.. $1400 credit limit.. nice.. now I need to spend $1000 :(

My application status says the same thing but I'm not sure if it's just because the application is being reviewed. As mentioned, I have a 740 credit score/don't carry any balances/never miss payments/etc.

For the people who must have missed the OP's info of STATEMENT CREDIT with points and complaining about having to get over priced NFL gear!

i applied, i got good credit...let's hope i get the $400

I didn't get instant approval for mastercard and I have no credit card debt, owned a home for 4 years now and have a car payment and never missed any payments. So not sure what the hold up is.. I've never gotten a instant approval but always get approved after a few weeks with credit cards.

I decided to call in hopes of getting approved easier for the 49ers Visa Signature card. Sadly, they still have to have the application reviewed before approval. They confirmed without me asking the 40,000 bonus points offer. They also said the Visa Signature feature is only offered to those with exceptional credit. The rest will receive a normal Visa card. My guess is this is probably why no one is instantly approved for the Visa cards. It's probably very difficult to receive the Signature card and requires further review just in case. This kind of bugs me though as I was really wanting the Visa Signature portion as well.

My Credit Karma score is 759 so lets hope that helps!

EDIT: Well when I went to the application status it looks like I was denied? Weird that they didn't tell me on the phone. "Currently we are unable to offer you a credit card issued by Barclays Bank Delaware. Details on why we could not make you a credit offer will be mailed to you."

Typically card issuers allow 3-4 cards for each customer. Number of total accounts only matters when it is low, meaning you don't have a good credit profile. However, if getting too many new cards within a short period of time, your average life of all cards gets diluted and becomes very low. This will hurt your score somewhat and only time can fix it. Again, average life of accounts is one of factors used to determin the final score but not weighted heavily as the others.

NEVER close the oldest accounts to maintain good average life of accounts.

Thanks ass. But it is not there, and it was this morning. http://i48.tinypic.com/vh3w2v.png

https://www.barclaycardus.com/app...CCMWC49110

how do you know you will get 40000 points? I think the deals is dead...All I see is 10000

if you want a NY Giants card you must first go through the NY Jets link.
If u want a NY Jets card, u r SOL.

That is what I've been trying to say, but no one is listening....

I just got off the phone applying and without me asking they told me about the 40,000 bonus points.

Read:

(B) Bonus Points - Forty thousand (40,000) Bonus Points will be awarded after at least $1000.00 in Net Purchases (that are not later returned or rescinded) in the first 90 days after account opening.

1. look for "Please read the Terms and Conditions for important information about rates, fees and other costs before applying." towards top of app.
2. Search for "40,000"


Yes also ran into the problem with the Jets/Giants cards. Already have a Bills Visa but decided to take a shot and went for the Giants MC. Got the "need time to review" response. I thought I'd get shot down but $400 is worth 10pts or so on my credit report.

Now just read this:

"We're in the process of reviewing the information you provided for your Dallas Cowboys Extra Points MasterCard application"

Haha WTF!

I did that this morning and it worked, but since then it has been removed from the Terms and Conditions page.

This is exactly what I read also

It now reads

https://www.barclaycardus.com/app...CCMWC48980

Texans card ToS, reads 40,000 points.

im under review wth?

Thats the one Ive been looking at too.. Game time in 1 hour! GO TEXANS!

That's strange. Find one that says 40k pts before you click apply I suppose. I used JETS link.

And obvi a good thing to save a copy of your T&C when you apply.

You and I are probably the only Texans fans on the forums haha. And I'm definitely the only one in my state (VA)

OK figured it out the discrepency. If you go through barclaycardus.com the 90day bonus program will not be in there. If you go through the links provided it will be there.

Just checked the steelers card and it was there on the link provided in OP but not through their website.

Also, Card link provided by OP was for a MC while the one throgh their website was a Visa...

When you're in the underwriting stage, as long as everything else flies, they should not know if you open new credit, so long as you're not applying for refinancing through Barclay (some damn how). Only under very specific circumstances will they need to repull credit, like if your credit report is no longer valid (over 90 days old).

CK score of 750, applied for MC and went to review.

Called customer service number and spoke with someone who told me that they had no record of my application...he transferred me to the credit card application number, which has three basic touchtone options. When I press the option to check the status of an existing application, the phone call cut out. (The application phone number is 1-800-307-0341.)

I called the number back and pressed 0, which led me to a real person.

She told me that the previous person I spoke with was incorrect, and that I did have an application pending. I, of course, inquired as to the pending status and the most information I could get (really guys, I tried), was to call this reconsideration number (1-800-308-6942) in 3-4 days.

As I mentioned, 750 CK score, no late payments, great history... I also have a Barclay NFL visa card that I applied for back in Feb. of 2012. I also applied for the Seahawks card and it's being referenced to as a Packers card on the review screen (FWIW).

The just repulled my credit report about 2-3 weeks ago as my first credit pull expired (90 days), so I see no reason to repull it again.

Im thinking its ok to apply for this.. hmmmm

LOL a Texans fan in VA? Im glad to hear that!! I live in Houston so its a given for me.

just scored texas mastercard

Here is the T&Cs URL: https://www.barclaycardus.com/app...CCVVS48917
It only says 40,000 points and NOT 40,000 + 10,000

Just applied for the texans card and this is what I got

Congratulations, you have been approved for your
Green Bay Packers Extra Points MasterCard with a Credit Line of $600.00

(1) its a damn packers card
(2) 600 limit means this deal is worthless!!! UGGHH (EDIT: Nevermind, didnt think of just paying it off every month till I reach $1000 lol)

Anybody applied both visa and mc and got approved?
Already applied mastercard and approved - thinking of applying visa card too

Did i read this right? Some people got denied... then reapply for another team ....and on the 3rd try got approved ?

I just got denied for Eagles MC (after application i got the "10 days blah".... and went to check status where it says "unable to give you credit...")

Also, the only reason why not creating debt is important because at the final underwriting stage if your debt to income ends up going on the high side, you may get declined. If you open the card now, and don't spend anything. Nothing technically gets affected. Take everything anyone says with a grain of salt, so I'm not saying you should go for it, but just a tad bit more information for you.

Why? You have 90 days to make $1000 charges to your card....
Charge / pay.... charge /pay ....

LOL.. Not sure why I didnt think of that.. but I guess I was hoping to just make 1 big purchase..

What happens if I change the card from Green Bay to Houston?
EDIT: Talked to a CSR and she is changing my team-- and confirming that I still get the bonus.
Number for that: 866-421-8004

Btw got approved for MC (I'm a student):
Limit 1700
Credit Score 765

$1700 limit? Lucky! I applied for houston and got green bay, so i guess the worse that could happen is you get a green bay card..

My Income $68K
Experian Score: 760
and they gave me a $600 limit.. strange

got denied, I wonder if it is because I just did a $400 offer with them a few months ago.

Oh well

Actually I just edited my post, but the CSR is changing the team for me before they ship it out. Number is in my post ;)
They are Fedexing it overnight for free/

Oh, and I don't know why my limit was higher. I'm only at 11k/yr

Does anyone see a reason why I can't just purchase a $1000 Amex gift card and eat the $5 fee (or 2 $500 gift cards if there is a $$ limit)?

I want to make sure im clear on this. Once i receive the 40,000 points which = $400 i can only apply that towards the bill on any purchases over $25? So lets say i make a bunch of under $25 purchases in a month and then one $100 purchase. I can only apply a $100 statement credit since all my other purchases are under $25?

I usually just buy Costco cash cards online for these types of offers. I buy all my gas and most of my groceries from there. When I did this a few months ago, I got the $400 credit applied before my first payment was due.

That is certainly how it sounds which is why I am more interested in doing the Amex prepaid so I can spend as I want and apply the credit before even spending the money!!

Got instantly approved for MC Packers (honestly, did not care for a team). Credit score 775 as of a week ago when I applied for Discover CC. Was not sure whether to put household income or individual...put household and got a credit line of $6,500.

If you made that $1000 purchase (one of which happens to be $400 or above), would'nt it just do it...

What's your history like? Have you had any other credit cards?

So let me just sum up what happened for me:

I'm a student -- 765 credit -- earning 11k/yr.
Applied for Texans card, instead given a Packer's card with 1700 limit.

I called the CSR (866-421-8004) and she changed my team for me before it shipped.
She also confirmed that I will not lose the 40,000 point promotion by changing the team.
Finally, she is sending the card via Fedex overnight for free, because of the hassle. YMMV

If I purchased an Amex gift card from CVS, how does the credit card company know what I purchased? Is there something from the merchant that tells the card company what it is?

The offer states:

The following transactions are not considered Net Purchases and do not earn Points: Account fees, interest, convenience checks, balance transfers, cash advances, cash equivalents as defined in your Cardmember Agreement, and purchases made by or for business or commercial purposes. In addition, any Points awarded on purchases that are subsequently returned will be deducted from your total, and your Points balance will be adjusted accordingly.


Cash Equivalent Purchases: The purchase of money orders, travelers' checks, foreign currency, lottery tickets, gambling chips, wire transfers and other similar transactions are treated as cash advances. Please see the Cardmember Agreement that will accompany your credit card upon account opening for more details.

You wouldnt be able to apply the $400 towards that $1000 unless you are going to carry the $1000 balance and pay interest till the points are available.

I have 1 Discover Card (2 years) and 1 Chase Freedom (a Visa, for 1 year).
Never missed a payment, and only have 2 hard inquiries atm.

You can pay as you charge. Charge $600 day one and pay day 2, charge $500 day three and pay day 4, and so on.

Are you then saying that we CAN or CAN'T use this to buy gift cards? Technically gift cards aren't mentioned in that clause :D

In my opinion a gift card is most certainly a cash equivalent, but as I said, I don't know if the cc company has anyway to know what your really purchased and therefore whether they can exclude the purchase. In short, the answer is I don't know.

For example, on my Amex, my last CVS purchase was categorized as:

Category: Merchandise & Supplies - Pharmacies

Now if I purchased an Amex gift card there, I don't think the CC company would have any way of identifying that. However, if I purchased it directly from the Amex site I think that would be a problem.

Many people buy gift cards without an issue. Why do they even care if you bought a gift card? They still get paid from the merchant and interest from you if you leave a balance.

I don't think they look at what is bought, just who the charge is from. If the gift cards at bought from CVS, the charge on the statement should be from CVS and be ok. Now if you have a charge on there from another creditcard company they may consider that a balnce transfer and not be valid for the offer. When I purchase cash cards from costco, the credit card statement just says purchase from costco.com, nothing about the item actually purchased. I think they use a transaction ID to see if the transaction was returned not the actual product item purchased

Who needs to buy gift cards. Pay your cell phone bill, internet, car insurance, and any other bill that will let you in one month and you will be close to $1000 or over.

CSR fixed my card to the correct team.. Also asked for a credit incease of $1500 ($2100 total) and they approved it..

Thanks for that phone number!

As for redeeming 40,000 points, pay with points seems to be a better option (when you spend another $400 after paying off $1000). Other options are gift cards to NFL.com, NFL apparel and merchandize. Wish I could just get a check for $400.

Not everyone has such expenses (or the ability to pay them by credit card). I was providing an alternative for these people.

Thanks OP. I got approved for $6000

a cash equivalent would be something that could be used as cash in the same circumstance--for example you cant use a cash advance because that is equal to having the cash and spending it on anything--a gift card could only be used where that gift card was accepted--ive always bought gift cards with these deals and never had a problem

Thanks for clarification

I agree, gift cards are not the same as cash. I have also done the gift card trick in the past. It's still a purchase, and it doesn't matter if it was a loaf of bread or a gift card.

applied for a Mastercard (got review pending notice) then tried for a Visa card (got the same "review pending" mssg) WTF??? My credit score is a few points shy of 800. I called to cancel the Mastercard application but the CSR said i can only cancel once I received that card. Failed!

Applied for a Giants card and got the processing bullshit. When I check status I was told Cowboys card. When I called, the woman said to call back after a few hours to check status and she said the site might just be set to a default team name but she can change it after the fact.

Same exact thing happened to me... processing the giants card and then checked status and it says cowboys..let me know how yours goes

Did you call this number?

Barclay’s Credit Card Reconsideration
866-369-1283 credit analyst

I had my application withdrawn the same day last time $400 promotion was up with no problem. Best was the hard pull was taken out of record a month later.
