P.S. I will let you know when things go back to normal, which I am sure will be very soon.
So much for getting me all excited for nothing. This is about as disappointing as bad sex.......or when you get all excited, thinking you are going to get a BIG surprise package, only to find out that it was all hype, and the reality of the matter is..............you get the same size package that you always end up getting...........average at best! LOL
Barclay's owing me $5146 and giving me an $18k credit line = a couple of socks stuffed in a Speedo...................it is a nice illusion, but in the end.............well, you get it......LOLOLOLOL!
Well damn. Maybe I got too excited for nothing. I just this week received a CLI from $3000 to $6000. This week did mark my one year anniv. with them, and I had received a CLI at 6 months. I guess I'll hold my breath...

Made a slight whoopsies last week.
Husband and I were on vacation, and we had taken both of our Arrivals and the debit cards. Husband's Arrival has a 7k credit line, we were shopping until we dropped and had racked up over 2k worth of charges. In addition to that the rental car agency had put a pre-auth on our card for about $450. No biggie. Well, family emergency happens, we need to get the first flight back home. Tickets for both of us was well over 5k, we had 4k available. In my panic I had forgotten about my own Arrival card, thinking we had his to rely on. So I hastily requested a credit line increase, and got the "needs to be reviewed" message. I figured that would happen since he had JUST applied for and received the SM card. At that point I remembered my Arrival, and purchased my ticket on my card, his on his. In the meantime, forgot about the CLI request.
Well, log in this morning to Barclays site, and apparently I had accidentally requested the increase on the SM card. His SM card was at 5k, and is now at 7k. I was planning on paying off my husband's Arrival in the next few days, moving the credit line and then closing the account (annual fee coming due). This would make the CL on his SM 13,500. It seems excessive to me. If we are not on vacation and acting like we are millionaires his typical spend is usually no more than $600/statement period... but my husband HAAATEES the credit card game. He wants 1 card to rule them all and he doesn't want to mess with trasnfering points, rotating categories, etc. That being said, the SM card is the ONLY card he uses. I figured if he is only going to use and carry one card, it should have a decent credit line for him.
I am also curious if I will be able to close the account and request the line being moved through secured message. Husband hates calling CSR, and even asking to just verify and then authorizing to speak with me is such a hassle for him. It is just easier for me to work through email and not have to call in.
I know everyone is gaga over CCC like Chase, Citi, etc, but we have been super pleased with Barclays.

I'm surprise Barclay even allows you moving your credit lines to an existing card. I never heard of that. I've only heard people doing product changes from Apple card to rewards card. I know chase allows it but Barclay too? Let us know or me cut I'm learning still

Its a quick call - please call the Credit Analyst number( can be found here on the forum) and not Customer Service they will take care of it in a jiffy. One week ago I moved $2,000 from my Apple Financing Card to my Reward card - mind you I just opened the Apple Financing card on 9/11.
