Barclay Rewards Master Card

Does this card qualify as a prime card? I just got this last month and I was hoping that it will lead to a csp/freedom or discover or maybe even a AMEX.

Yes, I have this one as a World MC with a 7.2K line. Currently utilizing a big BT but will be one of my go to cards when the BT is PIF.

At until a few hours I had it as a Plat MC with 7.2K, and they wouldn't change it, so it is closed...

When you were approved was your initial CL $7.2K or lower??

Re: Barclay Rewards Master Card

Then I must have gotten lucky since my score was 647 with a BK7 reporting. But I'm def not complaining!

Barclays can be BK friendly as long as other file stats are looking good.

It was initially 4.7K (which is why I assume it wasn't a World) then after 6 months became 7.2K.  A few weeks ago I asked if I could PC to something else as I couldn't benefit from the rewards ("not at this time"), today I asked about moving to a World, as it is over 5K.  Same answer, and so I closed it.

That really sucks. I only got the "World" description because it started out at 5K. Transferred my Apple CL to it for 7.2K.
