Barclays World Elite Mastercard Approval Odds?

[morgacj2004]

Congrats.! Wondering if someone who prev had this card and closed it would be eligible for the bonus?

I have a datapoint from one my colleague - Opened Arrival+ 19 months back, closed it 7 months back (with Annual Fee refunded), applied yesterday again and was instantly approved. Hope this helps.

Thanks. Might pull the trigger for my wife tomorrow. I already have the card.  She closed hers a few months ago.

Just another update.. called the backdoor number and they increased CL to 15K.. Sweet

I know Barclays is inquiry sensitive but how long between inquiries should someone wait?

Does anyone know if u can get the bonus again if u prev had the ARR+. I was under the impression this was a 1 time thing

I'm assuming from your signature that you meant you were applying for the Arrival+ card? 

was going to say, any Barclays Mastercard can come as a 'World Elite'

I am not sure but as far as I know anything more than 3 or 4 on TU within last 12 months is not a good sign for Barclay..
