Has anyone asked for and recieved a CLI from Barclays without a HP? I inquired about a CLI with a CSR and he informed that they don't CLI wihtout a HP, ever.
Call the retention department and see if they have a SP CLI available for you

Is your card outside of the 0% APR promo?
If yes, then do the following:
1) Call Barclay CSR. Ask for APR reduction
2) You'll get transferred to credit analyst. Ask them for APR reduction
3) If your profile has grown since you got your card / last CLI, you'll get some reduction unless you're at rock bottom APR
4) Once done with APR reduction, ask to check if some SP CLI offers are around.
A couple of months ago a good number of people managed SP CLIs this way including yours truly.
Never believe a CC CSR.
I recently requested a CLI on my US Air card I got around December and I was granted a 6.5k CLI. That was 2 weeks ago and I have not received a HP yet. I was told it would be, but have not seen a pull show up. I think my case is the exception, not the rule with Barclay though.

LOL! Exactly what happened a week ago for me. Credit analyst is the way to go.

Thanks Goshida,
When I ask for the APR reduction, chances are the CSR will either throw me a bone or say "no." At that point shoud I specificaly ask for a credit anayst or should I threaten to close my account and deal with retention? My Barcays provided FICO has me at 790 and the account is several years old.
They will transfer you, they have no choice IF you are out of the promo period (if there was any)
Good info guys about the Apr reduction and Sp cli info.Its been 3 months since my last Cli with barclays hard pull for sure. and also. since my Tu has jumped 56 points with my last Baddie gone. Should i try this trick or wait even longer? i know they see the new score as my fico has increased 3 times since my last cli. just wondering the wait in between time for cli's
Well i just called the 2 backdoor numbers i had found for barclays. The first asked how long my account had been open, when i responded 3 years, he said it would require a hard pull. The second number said they have a policy of only doing an increase with a hard pull. I havent tried contacting the retention dept yet. I requested an APR decrease from them a month ago. Currently have a 9k credit line with them.
