Buyer be wary when it comes to Barclay's and getting into a long term relationship with them.


So Barclays is not the kind of girl you take home to mama? Just looks pretty on your arm? Lol


LOL!  Well Said

Congrats! But I thought reading a thread a while ago about this card not making much sense anymore ?

Or buyer be grateful for the great relationship that can be built with them which garners SP CLIs, APR reductions, bonus spend promos and 1% fee BT offers.

 

FWIW I've been with them for over 3 years and have added over $300,000 in credit since then, including an additional Barclays card.  No AA. No CLD.

It's a great sign up bonus, but in the long run, little to no reason to pay $89 for 2% back that you can only redeem for travel purchases.

 

You can downgrade to a no fee Arrival or Rewards card and that is probably a good idea for most who don't want to close after the first year.

Earlier I saw the bonus was increased from 40k to 50k points and AF waived, so decided to give it a try.  Instantly approved for $5k and 23.24% APR (yikes!).  I have 7 TU inquiries in the last 6 months, clean file, 3 years AAOA and 6% util.  I also received the Hawaiian Airlines card in April which has a $20k limit.


Congrats, B! I forget, did you have this card before prior to closing your Barclays cards post AA?

 

If so, were you able to confirm that the previous card holders can get bonuses again?

That's also my question when you read the fine print it says offer is only valid for new card applicants. Pre existing card members do not qualify?  I have the ARR+ so I would not be eligible. My wife closed hers about 3 months ago but still has a cash fwd with 9.5 k CL. Would she be eligible?
