Its not easy persay but if your TU is above 640, you ahve a good chance. They are inq sensitive. Thats why you will see a lot of posts stating not to app for anything after you get the card ;at least app free for 6 months.

 

YOu might get a low CL but they are good with recon .

Re: Barclays Apple card

It is fairly easy to get. They don't like a bunch of inquiries within 6 months of applying for their card. So yes they are inquiry sensitive. I have read reports of people getting approved with a 620 credit score. They also like for you to have history with two credit card accounts. If you have no revolving history that's like a automatic denial.

On the plus side if you do get declined they have a awesome recon department.

When you recon tell them what you intend to buy. Depending on your income and with your score ythey might start you wth $1000 but try recon.
