Re: Barclays has taken action after using BT

CLIs are considered credit card approvals here. At least that's the pattern I've noticed.

It's appropriate in approvals because you received a CLI. Guess the mods moved it. Congratulations! Smiley Happy

But the whole point to the post was to illustrate Barclays action to carrying a balance / using a balance transfer. The Credit Card forum is full of posts about people who've had a CLD after carrying a balance on the Barclay card or who've been balance-chased, why are they not moved to 'approvals'. I don't actually care about the $3k CLI - more about correcting the balance on the Credit Cards forum that all Barclays do is CLD when you carry a balance as if you search, that's all you'll see.

Mods don't want to let the facts get in the way of a good narrative! Barclays hates BTs!

+1. I haven't seen people having difficulty with Barclay BT when it's a lower proportion of their credit limit and is paid off fairly quickly. The situations of AA seem to be more related to BT'ing a large portion of credit limit and/ or leaving it on the card for a longer period.

 

I am thinking there isn't anyone who can chime in and say they received AA by using a lower proportion of credit limit and paying it off fairly quickly. Smiley Happy

If it was about the CLI I would have just posted it straight in here "OMG I JUST LOGGED IN AND SAW $3K AUTO LUVVV LOL". Oh well. Hopefully anyone worried about doing a balance transfer to their Barclays account finds this post when they search and isn't put off doing it for fear of an 'inevitable' CLD.

Re: Barclays has taken action after using BT

Barclays seems to push a fine line (sometimes) but not always but it's been my own experience to just stop stressing about it over them.

 

I will say that i feel a lot more relieved now that i have the Ring Card albeit still only a $5K original limit from a Rewards MC PC which restricts much in the way of any serious usage but i do on occasion make ample use of their BT's and actually am on one right now.

 

I think once that they're comfortable with you then it's clear sailing and they don't seem to mind dishing out a better overall limit for you.

 

Congratulations! on the nice SP $3K extra boost! and the story of your experience is appreciated too.
