Can I get an Orange CC when I already have Barclaycard?

I've had an offer from Orange of a credit card with 0% balance transfers for a year, with 2.99% fee. I'm interested as I have a 9% on another card ending soon.

I see that the Orange card is issued by Barclays,and I already have a Barclaycard, though that has zero balance and hasn't been used for a year.

Could I get the Orange card? Or if I close the Barclaycard, will I count as a 'new customer' by 31 Aug, when the Orange offer expires?

Thanks!

    I (did) have both Barclaycard Platinum and the Orange Card, so yeah, it seems ok to have both.

    They removed that option for existing customer offers a while ago Star fire, my wife tried to apply for it at the beginning of the year but she wasnt 23 so it was a no go then, just before she was old enough they stopped offering it...

    Partner cards are fine, you can have as many as you want.
