US Airways - pending (approved by moving CL)

[CreditJim]

I thought I might be pushing it a bit with this application but wanted to get in before the merger with AA. I got the following message:

What should I do? Call them and offer to move some of the CL from my Arrival?

As a last resort offer to move some of your limit. Call analyst now though. They made just need to verify a few things. I just got this card last night. Good luck!

Why not. Give it a shot.

That's exactly the message I received.  They only needed to verify identity

Did you go to the website to check " Application Status" , you can also call them and see.

Called them. It was approved but I had no option but to move 5k of my Arrival line to the new product. Pretty painful really. No additional credit granted. So my Arrival is now only 12.2k. I will have to pay off the balance I'm carrying on that this month otherwise it'll kill my utilization. Hopefully with continued spending on the Arrival I'll be able to get a CLI back up to near what it was - I'm just happy to have the US Airways card ahead of the changes that are coming, I never thought it would be pretty as I wasn't optimized to app.

What's going to happen with the card after the merger?  I have a decent reputation with Barclay and I may be able to move some of my CL over if nothing else (I just opened NFL Visa a few days ago so I'm not holding my breath for an approval).

Aviator Silver.

Hmmm, sounds as if I may have to give it a try.  I applied for the NFL card Saturday.  Will they use the same credit pull for that or a new Hard Pull?

Edit:

I put in my application and it is showing as pending.  I will give it about an hour and give them a call.

That's the reason I had to apply, even though I wasn't primed for any apps. I wanted those 50K miles which will transfer into my AA account next year, and I also liked the sound of the Barclays AA offerings, so wanted to at least have the option to be grandfathered in before they can't take any more applications for it. I prefer Barclays in general to Citi, so would be quite happy to have a Barclays AA card and close my last account with Citi when the AF comes up.
