Approved for Sallie Mae Barclays!

I applied last Friday but was not given an immediate decision. I called today and the analyst needed to verify some income information. He noted my positive payment history with their Arrival card (opened 8/13) and was happy to approve me for 5k!! This comes after my Arrival was CLI'd from 4k to 7k after my 7th month statement in April. Yay Barclays!

Re: Approved for Sallie Mae Barclays!

I was told by a Barclay Rep that they liked to see lots of usage and decent payments.  I was told they do like to see balances but NOT balances that nearly max out their cards.  They like to see their cardholders know how to handle credit.  This is what I was told... Congrats.. They have been good to me so far.
