I was considering telling them I'm in the market for a new iPhone and iPad...but I dont' want to push my luck.  My iPhone 4 works great so there isn't a need for the 4s.

I have an iMac which I love, but I like the convenience of an iPad.

Decisions, decisions.

Lol, I totally understand.  I want a new MacBook Pro so bad, but my older MBP is working just fine, so I can't justify an upgrade.

Hah I told the rep I was going to buy a macbook pro also...they gave me a $1500 TL to start. I've been tempted to call and ask for more, but I have a bad feeling about it

I think CL has a lot to do with income also; someone correct me if im wrong.

Jesus has anyone gotten denied for Barclay's Apple on a recon lately? Every day we have a few of these threads. And in every thread I say the same thing: WHY OH WHY WON'T TU UPDATE MY GW ALREADY?!!??!?!?!

[casmith1980]

So...I have to say

I LOVE BARCLAYS!!!

I decided to call in because the iPad I've been pricing comes out to roughly $850 with taxes and accessories and they raised my limit!!!   I told the representative that I believe $1,000 will cover the total expense and after verifying my annual income - INSTANT APPROVAL!!!  I didn't want to push for more since I don't "need" it right now...and besides, like a couple people have stated already, with good payment history, I should see a CLI in 6-12 months

I did a recon today after getting a dis approval on line.  It was a no go, which I don't mind.  heck, 5 out of 8 in 3 weeks is a good batting avg.

Secured loan= $8,400

Cap1 Plat= $2,000

AMEX Zync = NPSL

Discover More = $5,000

Citi Plat M/C = $2,600

Not bad, in a 3 weeks work, now credit...go to work!!!!

P.S.  Got a free credit score from Barclays pulling TU 696...Heck Yea!!!

[casmith1980]

Did they give you an inclination as to why you were denied?  You might want to consider calling back and speaking to someone else.  The gentleman I spoke with a few minutes ago was far friendlier than the woman I spoke with this morning

(yes, I'm a girl and I have no problem using that to my advantage)

Call again. I called immediately after getting denied and the decision was upheld...then called again yesterday and got approved. It all depends on what rep you get!

[birjest]

Well, just got off the phone, AND STILL A NO GO.  (The reason was no establish credit...I do not have no open accounts on my TU, due to the fact I just open some recently) and they are somewhat nervous that I have an AMEX, heck if I know. Anyway, I am in no dire need for a Barclays, just wanted to test the water.  Beside, After I closed on my house in May, I am going to re-apply for a Chase Marriott.
