Amex points --> Miles & More
I am wondering whether there is a way to get Miles & More (Lufthansa) miles via a UK credit card nowadays. I saw that one can transfer Amex points into Singapore airlines miles, but I am not sure they can be converted to Miles & More afterwards. All UK credit cards seems to be stuck with Avios. But maybe there is still a…

Abit surprised I got approved still, Is this just a pre-approval before another check?

Barclaycard Platinum. Would this be because I rarely use the card? I have an Experian score of 999, only one other credit card (zero balance) and no debt or borrowing.
