Re: Barclay 6-Month Auto CLI Strategy

Since it seems like people auto CLI showed on their statement and my 7th statement just posted (with no auto-CLI), I requested a CLI on website and a BT (want to get rid of Merrick - it's secured, I hardly use and would like my deposit back! Would rather have Freedom & BC only). The website stated I would be notified in 10 days, so I assume that's a no.

My suggestion is to use the card the way YOU want to, and don't worry about pleasing the company. If you use your credit responsibly, one of your lenders will reward you. 


Yep...

 

I got a 6 month auto CLI from $1200 to $2200 on my Barclay card... I did carry a balance for the first 4 months because I was paying off my balance on my iPhone.  I got a letter with the CLI thanking me for my responsible card usage.

 

For the last 5 months I've PIF before the statement cuts after charging $100-$200 a month on the card.  I'm not worried about impressing them... I think I already have.
