Short history....I have had Barclay's NFL card for a year and a half. Started with 500 CL and had that increased to 2000 after 6-7 months. I applied and reconned on a Barclay Arrival Plus back in April and received a 1500 cl. I received the 40k bonus a month ago, but since my credit line was small I couldn't book the trip I had gotten the card for in the first place. Long story short I called the backdoor number to move 1500 from my NFL card to the arrival to book the trip. While I did that I thought what the heck, let me see if I could have increased it with a CLI using the website. I didn't think it would work due to only have the Arrival for two months, but I asked for an increase from 1500 to 3000 and the website increased it to 2780!
This happened literally while I was on the phone with Barclay getting the lined moved over. When she did move the line my credit limit only showed 3000 instead of 4280 which would have been the CLI + the moved credit line. I called the backdoor number back and a new analyst looked it over. I thought they would just say because I transferred the line I was not eligible for a CLI, but instead she came back and said she saw the increase that was approved and would immediately add it to the 3000 credit line! I really could not be happier with my Barclay experience and it's turning into my go to card over AMEX BCE.
Congrats! Thanks for sharing.
CONGRATS on your Barclay success!!!
congrats
