Well folks I've gotten my first AA from Barclays. They slashed my limits from about 25k across 3 cards to 8k across the 3 cards. No issues with payment history, mounting debt or the like. My credit aquisition has been agressive though. I did have about 3200 BT on the Arrival+. I am closing the Arrival+ and Wyndham cards as they offer no value. I'll keep the Hawaiian Airlines for now until I can utilize the bonus points then it goes too. I'm not upset and am not asking for advice. Just providing information as I've done with the good times. This is not surprising and I'm pretty much insulated from any negative effects of this AA with my available credit for now.
They probably feel you have too much credit for you to be profitable for them. And that you are a risk for maxing out your cards and bailing.
How long have you owed the BT on the Arrival? Were you stretching it out over the entire 12 months?
UGH!!! Dang 12! Im so sorry to hear this, that stinks!! I don't have anything add because you know whats up anyways. You've been in the game for awhile. So sorry again!!
The only thing I will add is this...I say this all the time, and a few peeps on here dont believe me, but Barclays hates BT (even though they claim to love them!)!! They may not at first, but dont in the end.
Thank you for sharing even though it wasnt fun.

Yes I've been stretching it out. It started with 6k about 4 months ago and is down to 3200. I'm going to go ahead and BT on to Fidelity Amex which has 0% until June 2017. We'll chalk that up as a good run with Barclays. Kinda weired though since they just approved me for Hawaiian Airlines (6k) and Wyndham (3.2K) in last two months. That may have done it because I did try for another Barclays card (Frontier) which was denied because they said I had sufficient credit.

Thanks pizza, it's no biggie. I had a good run with Barclays. Fortunately (after the fact) I didn't have a lot of credit with them.

Dang 12!! They really threw it down to u, 25 to 8k. It's a roll of the dice if it's going to happen, but still dang!!!!
For sure. They diced it 2/3rd on me
I think I'm just going to close everything with them now that I think about it. I don't want them to close my accounts and have that comment on my reports. I'll lose out on the Hawaiian Airlines but I still have Alaska Airliines.
Sorry to hear 12njoy! When they AA me I went from $22k total exposure to $2900. I also had been taking advantage of a BT offer they so frequently mailed to me. I'm glad you have alternatives.
