View From the Wing reports the deadline to apply for the US Airways card is April 12, 2015.
I’ve written before that this card won’t be around after US Airways merges with American Airlines. That’s because the US Airways card will be replaced by the Barclaycard AAdvantage Aviator card.
So this may be your last chance to get the US Airways card and 50,000 US Airways miles!

Welp, bad news. I was declined for the second card AND they pulled my credit (Transunion). The ones who have been successful getting the second bonus are luckier than me!
I had got this card, the first time, in April 2013. Canx it around the 11 month mark. Had no problems getting it again with 50k bonus. I also went ahead and got the AAdvantage Platinum Select MC again because I hadn’t applied for that card since 2013.
Can anyone advise on how quickly one can churn this card?
I first got this card in June of 2013, and cancelled a year later. I’m planning on another round of applications in early April. Can I reapply for this card for another bonus before it disappears?
Quick question: Do you think after the merger we will still be able to use our companion pass/ lounge voucher or do we need to rush to use them in the next few weeks?
