Re: Barclays denied. Nervous about Recon call. Suggestions?

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".

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.

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.

Starting Score: 504
July 2013 score:
EQ FICO 819, TU08 778, EX "806 lender pull 07/26/2013
Goal Score: All Scores 760+, Newest goal 800+

Current scores after adding $81K in CLs and 2 new cars since July 2013
EQ:809 TU 777 EX 790 Now it's just garden time!

June 2017 update: All scores over 820, just pure gardening now.

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
