Apped for the Marriott from Chase yesterday, got the 30 day message or whatever - I called the backdoor number immediately after, they said it was still in pending so I asked for a manual review over the phone - few questions and approved (albeit a low limit 5k). Apped for another Barclay (already have the Apple card for 12 mths) immediately denied called backdoor no go too many new accounts and inqs (go figure). I think I will give up getting any new cards from Barclays they are a waste of space.
Question: How long after recon will I see my new beauty show up on the online account? app line still says application pending? After reading some success stories at recons then only later to be still denied makes me nervous The rep never mentioend about submitting it for review to an ysupervisor etc she jsut said I was approved and i'd get my card in a few days.
Stats:
Utl 3%
FICO: around a month ago Eq was around 740 and EX 760 TU 765 (Chase pulled both Eq and Ex)
Inqs: way too many!!!
Thanks MovingForward... Yeah I knew at time of the app my inq and new accounts would give me a denial and any recn would be far off. I have around 9 new accounts in the last 6 months and even more in the last 12 months. I was gardening, but after two months I couldn't weed any longer all my apps got declined I made several! just hope the Chase one actually went through so I can have at least one positive outcome. Rule of thumb is to garden and this little app spree was a reminder of that.
Edit: also to add, the Barclays rep wasn't the most friendliest and didnt question me or go ove my report she just put me on hold and came back saying she couldnt do anything until my new accounts aged.. I think any success at recon bears alot on what rep you get, along with everything else

reading this thread and your thread about the best buy credit card, I can see why they did decline you, I've read they don't like a lot of new accounts, I bet if you actually gardened for a year or 2 you could get almost any card you want
no more apps for a while!
ps hopefully best buy approves you! now that youve already taken the hp for it
also you could try calling in again, I was orginally declined for the Chase United Card and ended up calling the backdoor number like 4 times and finally got an approval, it is a different bank but shows calling back and talking to a different person can help
