App'd yesterday and did not get instant approval. This morning I checked my TU report and saw the inquiry and below that it listed Barclays as a creditor. My guess was I was approved. I called the back door number listed here and answered some ID verification questions and why my file was thin. I explained that during my divorce in 2004 I closed my cards to avoid any kind of debt problems associated with the divorce. The analyst seemed to understand that and told me it looks like I manage my credit responsibly. Approved for $5,000. Now it's time to learn all the quirky things associated with Barclays (not applying for credit too soon, etc.)
