I’ve cycled this card like clockwork. I just flew AA and the FA’s were handing out the paper app with the 60K bonus as they usually do. I snagged one but noted once-per-lifetime language in the fine print. Maybe I missed it in the past, but I’m not interested in wasting a hard lookup if it’s certain that I’ll be rejected. Any data points on this round of the program? Is Barclays clamping down? Offer expires 2/28/23.

The 6/24 rule from Barclays applies to all cards now. I was denied a JetBlue card because I had opened too many credit cards with other banks. They said to only open 5-6 cards in 24 months to be approved

Current offer is 60k — heard about it from the FA on a flight yesterday, thought it was just promotional for in flight sign ups, but it is showing on the website also
