Journey : is there a specific format for replies?

When you got 

CLD, CLI AA, FR 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Barclay CC let's put our heads together

Approved: February 2012 after a long spree of applying. Inititally declined for inquires but the gentleman overturned it and approved for 2500.

Increase: August 2012 after using it up to the limit multiple times and keeping a 0% balance for about 2 months before deciding I didn't want to have it maxed out. Increased to 3400

Spree: opened five cards in November and December 2012

Increase: March 2013 to 4600. I didn't use the card as much and only charged it up to the max about twice during the time since the last increase. Inquiries on TransUnion were about 2 to 4 at all times.

Re: Barclay CC let's put our heads together

Hmmmm... this could be interesting.  Of course, I won't know for sure for the next 4-8 months so we'll see if anything comes about on my Barclays accounts.
