Barclay, you're a weird beast

So, I was approved for the nfl card back in sept last year for 5k. Fast forward to last month when everyone started talking about the rewards card. I applied and got a wimpy 1300 CL. Despite reconning, they wouldn't raise the limit. The reason was "sufficient credit available." I let a little time pass and I applied for the apple visa since my ipad was on it's last leg. Approved for 1300. I immediately called and got the limit moved to the rewards card and asked for an increase. The analyst said no dice on raising the limit. i logged in and it showed a cl of 2500 for the rewards card. Fast forward to this morning I log in and see a limit of 3500...I hope they aren't playing with me.

Wow!!! you got approve with a 599 for Discover IT card? Nice!!! I find strange they would pull your Transunion vs Experian or Equifax. They pulled my Experian when I was approved for 3,000.00$
