Re: Barclay's Apple Financing Visa

I requested a CLI and analyst pointed out I had too many recent inquiries (4 on the same day). No luck '.'

Re: Barclay's Apple Financing Visa

Call the backdoor number and ask for a credit analyst.  They are normally in regular business hours (9-5).  In my experience, they are very nice and helpful, but may also pull your CR again, to "obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information."  I would also recommend explaining to them the same reason you explained to us when they ask why you want your limit raised a second time.


Current:
TU (5/14/14): 796 (Inquiries; 8/23/13)
EQ (3/23/14): 791 (Inquiries: 8/23/13)
EX (9/24/13): 780 (Inquiries: 7/2/12; 11/20/12; 7/30/13; 8/23/13)

Goals: No new inquiries for 2014, 800 for all CRs by 12/31/14

Re: Barclay's Apple Financing Visa

Congrats on the Barclaycard and nice limit! $3500 isn't too shabby. I was approved for $2700 back in January and I love my MacBook Pro! Now I want an iMac. Maybe next 0% financing promo. Smiley Wink

Re: Barclay's Apple Financing Visa

AFAIK when I talked to a rep. before about the Apple financing its year round you just need to call in and request it beforehand. That may be wrong but that's what the rep said.

Re: Barclay's Apple Financing Visa

You could call the back door number and let them know that you didn't realize it would be so much for the 2 computers, so you need another $1k. The likelihood is that you'd be approved, but be aware that they might do a second HP. You can ask for the same pull to be considered. But when I reconed the day after approval, they did a 2nd HP, even tho they said they would be using the same HP from my app. It's worth it, tho, if you want to get the second computer.

Re: Barclay's Apple Financing Visa

I want to thank everyone for the replies, here is the update

I called to speak with a barclays credit analyst today, and just my bad luck the analyst i spoke with would not grant an increase in my credit limit and spoke in a sense that I should be greatful that I was even approved believe it or not, the analyst did offer to move some of my credit line from my B&N card but I did not want to do that , but today work out well Best Buy had a sale on the mac pro so I purchased two best buy cards 200.00 from the supermarket with my Amex BCP hopefully i will get the 6%,  had a few amex,discover reward  gift cards, also I live in MA this was a no sales tax weekend, thanks to the credit analyst rejection I made out pretty good, purchased a mac pro for 1,054.00 original price 1454.00 plus I have 18 month financing with my BBRZMC .  My first time owning a mac and loving it!!!
