At this point, it appears that you may or may not have a marginal chance of approval.  You will need to see what's on the letter to determine whether that would even warrant a reconsideration effort.  More or less, I would have gone with Lexie's previous advice.  While another forum member may have said "yes, yes, yes" this is never a 100% sure thing, and as with anything it's a YEMV situation.

Pre-qualified does not mean an approval. It means that with a sp your information meets their criteria. That being said, it's just a hp and if you want to apply, go for it. No one can give you a definitive answer on whether you'd be approved or not.

Re: Barclay's pre-approval link!

I know. I'm pretty bummed. I know that they are pretty sensitive to inquiries and they pull TU so I know I shouldn't haven even done it preapproval or not. Now Im gonna garden for a year. I have like 12 Hard inquiries on TU so Barclays is out of the question for me. Thanks for the advice guys.

No no no sorry to hear this Smiley Sad

Wait on the letter and hopefully it's something you can correct.

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

You called backdoor and they won't manual review until you get letter? I've never heard Barclay not recon.

Re: Barclay's pre-approval link!

I don't understand why I'm not getting any approvals anywhere.

I have high balances yest...but no late pays and only  one charge off that's paid off.

 

Credit scores in mid 500s. 

 

What's wrong. 

High balances?

Scores in the 500's? High balances? I think im sensing sarcasm but not sure...If not, those are both huge reasons why...

Re: Barclay's pre-approval link!

Also a single charge off, with no late pays, probably doesn't cause a mid-500 score.

 

Just in case the question is serious: mid-500s is very low.   Even though the scores have a big range up to 850, anything below ~ mid-600s will make it hard to get anything half-way decent.
