Barclay's Pending App of Doom

[Brusilov]

Gah, Applied for a card on Friday of last week and it's still pending!  Can't handle the suspense anymore!

Tried calling the customer service line and they didn't need any additional materials or anything... just waiting on an anaylyst to review.  Is this pretty typical for them?

you should probably call the backdoor number

I have two cards with Barclay's (Carnival MC and Itunes Visa).  Both times I applied, I received the same message.  I called the backdoor number for both and was able to get the cards.  You should try the number.

I love you guys! Called the backdoor number and spoke to a very nice rep who asked a few questions about my credit history and approved for $2500 starting limit! Whoohoo!
