Barclay closed my account...

@SPreb,

Thanks for your input, I agree.  I am going to garden some more time, and not thinking of having any app spree .

Barclay's, imo, is more of a huge investment bank.... So it goes without saying: they are quite active in managing their portfolio of assets, including cc debt- which typically also has an investor on the other side. Barclaycard is purely for profit for investors imo. So lol... They dont want you to pay off 0% offers or have open, unused credit. Lol

I only got this card cuz i went to apple to buy my little bro a macbook pro for xmas. I was talked into apping for the card and was approved for the exact amount i needed to buy the mac lol. After that the card was never used again.

Sorry to hear about the Barclays closure.  I can honestly say that I've never had any CLD or AA with them in any type of cycle whether opening of new acounts or closing older ones including my total TLs across.  I still have all 4 of them...well, 5 if you count Bank of Hawaii AMEX which is serviced by them under a separate charter.

Of course, most forum members know why youngandcreditwrhty experienced his recent Travelocity CLD (and declined Barclays MC - even on recon) and a Citi DP closure not long ago... so much for pristine profile?  lol  haha

Thanks for being a hater FinStar. I imagine your aaoa is prob much higher than my 3+ years as you seem quite smug and wise.
;-)
Holy heck@volpes. We need to get you signed up for a balance transfer card! Lol :-p

And it was the Arrival Card, finstar, NOT just a regular Mc. Gah, get it right bro.
And I got that $7700 limit reinstated with no hesitation by the Barclay's analyst.

Barclays is a huge bank holding company that is a lot more than just an investment bank, especially if you consider their international operations.

To be fair though, any other bank, Chase, Citi, Amex, Discover, Wells Fargo, BofA, etc..........are "purely for profit for investors" as well, to put it in your own words.

Regardless of whether it's an investment bank, or a commercial bank, they're all out to make profit for investors. None of those banks are doing this for charity purposes, and all of their shareholders, AKA investors, have stakes in any of those firms simply because they want to see profit as much as shareholders in Investment banks do.

Any bank with good responsible management are supposed to be extremely active in managing their portfolio. It's really just what they're hired to do.
