Barclay Cards Came Today...almost

[matolen]

Well, not today (Sun) but that is when I picked up the mail.  I was confused why my Barclaycard Rewards didn't also show up as I had applied the day after I was approved for the Apple Rewards Card.  I was initially declined but won it on a recon and a percentage of The Apple card's limit applied to the second.

 I called and it turned out the first credit analyst had done everything but 'flip the switch' on the 2nd account.  So they activated both accounts, and they even are expiditing the Rewards card to me at no charge.  Pretty darn good customer service so far!

Congrats! What's the limit on the Rewards card? I am still waiting on mine. Barclay seems to take forever to arrive.

In comparison to Citi, Barclay's sends cards at the speed of light.

I have had no issues with Citi...my Arrival took about 2.5 weeks.

The Apple Rewards was $1,500.  They offered me both on the provision I move 500 off to the Barclay Rewards.  So these are starters.

I'm still amazed they did this with both accounts being *new*

Be careful with Barclays they watch you for appling for cards after getting in with them. I dont know if your looking for any others cards soon but I would wait a solid 6 months before getting any other cards. Just some real advice from someone (myself) who had their Barclays closed in 2013 because of being stupid and opening accts after getting that card.  Ohhh BTW CONGRATULATIONS!

I got 6, no 7 new tradelines after my SM including another Barclay's card and not a peep from them except "We see that you pay your balance in full"

They only mentioned the new tradelines when I asked when would be a good time to app for the Ring..
