Barclays how good with recon

[Duncanrr]

Ok, I'm in a drapping state. Just how good is Barclays with recon? Considering the Arrival card and the free BT that comes with it.

Its very easy to recon with Barclays. Actually, they are probably the easiest to get a positive recon with. 

In case you don't have it, their number is 866-408-4064

I recently had a very positive experience with them; I called to recon my initial CL. I was instantly approved for $2400.00 online. I wanted just a bit more, so I called in the next morning to see what they could do since I have 6k, 6k and 8k with Discover, Amex and Chase respectively. She told me my profile looked really good, just lots of new credit which is true. She then offered to bump me to 3k and told me to call back in 6 months for another increase (accepted with a smile).

Extremely happy with the service and professionalism she exhibited. It was a soft pull for the increase.

Not sure who they might HP for you, they pulled TU for me.  

I had to recon and think I did ok.   At first it was an "iffy" decline so i called to ask about it (NFL card).  Asked about other cards, work, income, housing (home paid for, 9 cars paid for).  My score was lower but I have a rather thick file (well over a dozen cards at the time, all perfect payment history, AAoA about 5 years) and not too many INQs, 3 or 4 at the time on TU I think.  Ended up with a 5K World MC Flex spend acct but with a high APR.

I would guess they like to see low INQs, a fair to good amount of history and no lates, somewhat long job history, over 50 or 60k a year and long history at the same address,  along with other above average limit cards reporting for some time.  Just my opinion after my experience.

Oh krap......  "Beer fest all day" ?!  

Duncanrr, I just spotted that.   Don't do it!  Unless your file has grown a lot, is spotless and you know you'll get approved for a huge CL, Just don't or you'll get stuck with a toy CL!! 

Sleep on it, you can always think about it a few days first!
