Barclays denied, recon failed

Hi all,

 

I applied and got rejected for Barclays card with tu 625. I called recon and the guy persisted that I opened 3 cards in last year and they need more history. What u guys think should I keep reconning or is it not worth?

 

Thanks

Unless they HP for every recon, you're not really getting dinged for being persistent. How much history do you have on your other credit cards? Sounds like you just need to let them age and then try again later. If you recon again, that's what you need to find out...how much more history are they looking for before they can approve you?

Leave it be. While there is a very slight chance somebody else could let you in if they're nicer or in a better mood...don't bother. If theyr'e that on the fence your SL will likely be small if you get in at all. All Barclay's calls are documented so the next rep will see you already called...and when...and what about. What I like about them is that they tell you exactly what they don't like...and immediately. Take their advice. Wait it out...you'll be much happier for it if you apply next year or whenever. What card was it if you don't mind me asking?

625 is a little too low for Barclays get your score up to 650 and they will prob approve u for the Rewards or other entry level card.
