Chances for approval on Arrival card?

Ok, so I have stayed away from Barclay because of all the negative things I have read on here about cld's and closures. The arrival card is very much tempting me. I've been moving more towards the travel cards and was just approved about 2 weeks ago for the Southwest Premier. I want to get in on this signup bonus but I want to make sure I have a chance of approval. I really want it to be the world mastercard. So what do ya'll think? My info in my sig is correct. My total utilization is 14%. It will lower by mid March. My oldest cc account is about 18 month's old. No installment account, no negatives. So what do y'all think? Will this bonus probably be around a while? Thanks for your time input.

How is your TU inquiries? Was it pulled for your Southwest Premier? If your TU is clean of inquiries for the past 6mo I think you have a good chance depending on your income. What is your income?

Yea I saw that, I was trying to figure how many in a 6 month frame. I think that may be the determining factor in their approval. If it's under 3, I would say yes, otherwords, I would strongly say no as Barclays is really sensitive to INQs.
