Barclay's Visa Card Apple Financing

Today I applied online for Barclay's Visa Card to purchase a computer from Apple.  I received an instant approval of $2690 and called the backdoor number posted here for a CLI.  I was asked a few questions and was increased to $4990 after asking for 5k.  Merry Christmas!

Re: Barclay's Visa Card Apple Financing

Barclay pulls TU though.

 

Congrats... I didn't think that little Barclay computer knew how to give out a CL higher the $290 for instant approvals!!!

 

but good to see the $90 on the back end is still the same!

This business about Barclays got me looking, and I found the Barclay's Priceline Visa.. It has William Shatner on it! I sort of want it now..

I think that card is probably one of the easiest card to get from Barclays. Funny I heard for the 1st time that someone actually thinks that's a cool card Smiley Happy The rewards are not awesome but you'll be a step closer to prime.

 

Congrats to the original poster with Barclays.....just curious though, what questions did Barclays asked you and than approved you for the nice increase? Great infor for recon, cli imo....

Re: Barclay's Visa Card Apple Financing

Eh, the card itself is pretty disappointing, just the fact that it has Bill Shatner on it makes it cool in my book. (I'm a huge Trek fan) I'm already in the Prime area, I just like the look of the card, not so much the features.
