Credit Cards

[resilient]

Barclays gave me an easy recon also, but I'm not sure I could classify it as a recon, because when i apped, it just said more info is needed, then I immediately called. Now, I am a  little worried, because this wasn't the only card I apped for and got approved for. Don't know if I should use it, because I don't want them closing it and reporting a balance as opposed to them closing it with a zero balance. Either way, I don't want any card to say "closed at credit grantor's request".

ok wait, so after you get the card they randomly close it? why?? Is that what I understand?

Thanks for the information guys, I am totally appreciative. *think positive thoughts, they will say yes, they will say yes, they will say yes

They Hawkeye your reports for 6 months after opening an account and they get ansy seeing new accounts opened in that timeframe. They either CLD or close.

I would not worry about it, usually people get AA from Barclays when they include other issues as far as high util. with a lot of new accounts. Just don't go buckwild on apps and you'll be fine.

gotcha! LS hey this made me laugh out loud-literally:  "just don't go buckwild with apps"

This is it for me.  (Unless I get a SERIOUS preapproval) thanks for the all the great advice!

I was thinking of apping for a Barclay card myself.   Kind of got my feet in the garden, so I think I'm going to stay there.  That NFL card is quite tempting though.

Even though Barclay's is no longer offering 400 promp?

I like Barclay's but recently, they were kind of rude when I called for a cli on my Trav Amex, which was denied lol... Guesss that's what I get for having high util on that card.... Did pay $600 on it this week though (now owe $4600/6500 LOL

I would suggest a recon as a friend of mine has 6 baddies and did a recon on the priceline card this morning. Was approved for 500.00
