Applying for the Card
Barclays Lufthansa Miles & More Card
Barclays will usually only approve you for a card every 6 months. If you have a Barclay card, is bet to put some spend on it before applying for another card. They don’t like dormant cardholders. There’s no real limit on the number of cards you can have with Barclay.
They also have a 6/24 rule. That means that they might not approve you if you’ve had more than 6 new cards in the last 24 months. I say might because we’re not sure if it still applies, and even before it was never really a hard rule.
Guru’s Wrap-Up
This is the highest bonus we have seen for the Lufthansa Miles & More card. You can now get 80,000 miles when you spend $3,000 and pay the annual fee within 90 days.
Lufthansa miles are valuable. While domestic economy ward flights will cost you 25,000 miles round trip, you can get into business class (domestic first class) for just 35,000 round trip on United. One-way award flights will cost half. That means that with this signup bonus is enough for two round trip business class flights in the United States.
A trip to Europe will cost you 50,000 miles in economy, but fees are extremely high. You can see their miles calculator here.
Barclays also has some other improved offers right now such as 80K for the JetBlue Business card, and 80K for the AAdvantage Aviator Business card.
