Shot Down on Barclay Arrival+

No inquiries in '18, denied twice before on this card, why not roll the dice?  Denied: "number of bankcards opened within the last two years".

I thought: really?  So, I looked, and here's the numbers:  

New accounts:  '17 - 3;  '16 - 14,  '15 - 6.  Closed accounts '16/'17 - 8.  TU @ application: 753.  So, I have the Ring (10.5k) and the Red Aviator (10k).  Keep my head down to avoid Barclay's quirky AA and CLD's.  Will probably reallocate my Red cl to the Ring and close it, as I have the Citi AA.  Arrival+ next year? Three strikes - you're out!

They are very stingy with the Arrival+.  I got a denied when I apped for one last September, but then got approved for the CashForward with a decent limit shortly thereafter.

Recently approx 5-6 months ago they changed the Arrival+ criteria for approval to x amt of cards in the last 2 years i believe and instant declined and don't even believe it can be reconned if I recall correctly.  Probably has to do with the decent size sign-up bonus then people dumping it after they obtained it then rinsing and repeating.
