Barclay PC

Has anybody done a successful PC to the Ring card?  I currently have an Arrival, Sallie, Rewards Visa with Barclay, the Arrival and Rewards Visa aren't as useful as I had hoped and was wondering if the Ring would possibly be better.  Honestly if they wont even entertain that idea I may close Arrival and Visa and have CL put on my Sallie.

Re: Barclay PC

I've asked to PC my upromise card to a ring a couple times and they always told me no. I suppose I could try the EO but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I kind of figured they would say no.  I've been trying to PC my Rewards Visa for a while and its always a no.  I suppose I could go the EO route as well.  Maybe I'll try that before closing the cards.

This thread made me ask for a CLI on my card  from them because I've never gotten one in the time I've had it..."decision will be made in 48 hours" Smiley Sad

I called the analyst number and I was able to PC my original arrival card to a ring card about a year ago.

 

And about two months ago I was able to PC my ring card back to the new arrival card ...

Currently a grad student, and in my wallet there exists my only 4 credit cards: Barclay Arrival+ 56k / Chase Sapphire Pref 68.2k / Citi Prestige 45k / Merrill Accolades 175k ; my student id card and a couple two-dollar bills.

Did you not like the ring? the low apr seems nice...and I know they had some weird reward scheme going on. I never fully understood it though

I got a no when I called today.  I guess I'll try again next week, its funny how finicky they are with stuff.  It seems like there is no set rules just depends who you talk to.
