Re: Barclays Apple card

I would try to recon again I got approved with 11 hard inq you just have to give them a reason and good ones for it say your looking for best cards for your portfolio and say that you really don't like bestbuy and how they do business and have heard great things about Barclays and want to become a long time customer for future apple purchases

So if I am reading correctly, they could use either EX or TU?  Also, do you think they would count inquiries separately?  What I mean is that I was car shopping in January and some of these dealers (unbeknownst to me) ran tons of inquiries with different lenders, so now I have like 15-20 on each credit report.  However, all of them are within 2 days of each other.  I know FICO would score them as one, but it is sounding like Barclays will do a manual review.

Gardening with: PSECU Combo $1k, Chase Freedom $3.5k, Discover It $1.7k, Amex Costco True Earnings $2k, Capital One Platinum $500, Best Buy Store Card $2.7k

Starting Score: FICO: 587 EX, 594 EQ, 632 TU, 2/15/12; USAA FAKO: 525 EX, 541 EQ, 525 TU, 2/15/12
Current Score: FICO: 678 EX, 629 EQ, 658 TU, 3/27/12; USAA FAKO: 721 EX, 721 EQ, 576 TU, 3/9/12
Goal Score: 700 Across the Board and Amex Zync or Costco By The End Of 2012

Mainly TU, if they say too many inquires you can always do a recon
