Sorry it didn't work out for you but give a try about once a month or so. Or you could do as you said and wait until 0% APR goes away.

I normally get increased at the six month mark, but this time it didn't happen so I called and within 1 minute the guy had processed it manually with a soft pull. It was due on the 17th, I called the 19th. Received a nice cli, my largest one so far and Barclays for me sits at 20k now between two cards.

how big of CLI was it, if you don't mind sharing?

$5k. The most I've received from them was $2,300 last time and it was upgraded to a world MC. This card started with $1,300 1.5 years ago and a score of 545, now sitting at $15k and a Tu score of 651 from Barclays site, but 676 on myfico. Hope it helps.

Last year I put about $40k through it according to my 2014 statement.

Thanks, quite a bit of spend you did last year.. I really only use mine for gas/groceries and ocassinal amazon.. So not much spend in comparison

My spend with them has and will continue to drop dramatically. Although I got them to lower my Apr to 18.99, is nowhere near the other recent Apr I've received from amex and nfcu plus the rewards program is not as lucrative as amex and discover.

I'll remain eternally grateful to barclays, they've been very good to me. Recently lowered my Apr on both cards and cli are consistent.

Rewards Master Card opened in Decemember 2014 @ 5k limit.. 

April (first week) - PC'd to Arrival

4/20- Called to ask for APR reduction (19.99-18.99) and a soft CLI, of $2k.  

So, 5 months 5k-7k

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was going to wait for my score to update on their site before I call. A few people have posted that the scores update every 10 weeks. Most of mine have updated in 8 weeks. Usually on the 19th which is a few days after my statement closes. It's the evening of the 20th and I'm watching like a little kid looking for Santa. Maybe the extra 8 points won't matter. The last score that they show is 668. Walmart has been reporting my TU at 676 so that's what it should be when it updates. I'll be calling as soon as that happens. My Apple card's last increase was 4/24/14. That went to $8500. I then took $2500. of that to get my Rewards card so dropped to $6K.  Got a SP CLI to $8K when I called to swap limits on November 21st. The 6 month point for that card should be the end of next month. I'm thinking maybe things got screwed up when I swapped limits? I guess the easiest way to look at it is the $2500 limit hasn't changed since I got it in May of last year. The other limit has grown. 

I'm just going to straight out ask when I call. It can't hurt and they are there to help.

You are so welcome, even if I created this thread out of my own selfish intentions.  

I accept Kudos, Thank You's, and or a car wash! 

I'd try for the APR reduction in 6-7 months! Keep it going!

I called after reading this, got a APR reduction and a credit for the int paid last month. The Analyst said you have made all your payments on time so thank you.
