Barclay score updates

Like I said I inquired earlier today to see what their policy was. This is the response I got:

They have stopped giving me frequent updates. Since I did not have a 0% APR promotion I paid in full on the last statement (had a large balance to meet the spend requirement) and since then no more updates. I have added one more card since the last update (Cap One Venture) so there has been another inquiry, but I did not hear from them on that one.

Guess it makes sense, when you have a new account spend 2k in a month you want to make sure nothing crazy is going on. Now that my balance is 0 they don't seem to be as worried. Just updating in case anyone reads this for information.
