LONDON—Barclays PLC's chief financial officer is under investigation by British authorities related to the bank's 2008 fundraising activities with Middle Eastern investors, dealing a fresh blow to a bank that already this month has lost its chairman, chief executive and chief operating officer.

I have a Juniper MasterCard and its not issued BoA, but Barclays. So which cards were "supposedly" bought from Barclays by BoA?????
Please read my post from 9/3/08. US Airmiles Visa is issued by BofA and the US Airmiles MasterCard is issued by Barclay's.

The US Airway's Visa used to be issued by BofA a long time ago, and before that it was issued by NationsBank (NationsBank actually bought out Bank of America in the late 90's and kept the BofA name). Not sure when BofA transferred this to Juniper-seems odd that they would sell it off and then take it back, unless it is a license thing....
Okay, just Googled it, US Airways Visa's are issued by FIA Card Services (BofA a la MBNA) and the US Airways MasterCard's are issued by Barclay's.

They are here. I have Travelocity Mastercard, and yes Itunes and Carnival Seamiles are Barclays also. They are bk friendly, but they are about slow as hsbc when it comes to cli's. Bank of America is buying barclays cards, I do know that the US Airmiles is already transfered to bofa.

I do believe that this is the reason for denials. Juniper was (still is) bk friendly and co's + derog friendly while Bofa is not going for it. USairmiles was much easier to get before bofa got a hold of it. I just tell everyone to go for the seamiles instead,If BofA is taking over some of barclays cards, is that the reason why it seems to be difficult to get the US Airways card???? I applied online and their reason for denying was nothing other than "We are unable to approve you at this time." No statement saying that Ill be mailed out a letter or a 7-10 day response. ANyone run into this whiel applying???-
