How to go about getting CLI from Barclay's?

Anonymous · ‎01-11-2012

I recently applied for a Apple Barclay's account and was approved for $2,000. I haven't received the card yet but I was wondering what would be a good time to ask for CLI now or at activation? And how much of an increase do you think I should ask for?

anytime between 10 minutes after getting approved and before getting your card and anytime after that lol.

Starting Score: 575 (As Of Early 2011)

I called for a CLI even before I received my card, and it was a hard pull. Others have reported the same.

I had a Barclaycard in England, Barclays' home country. They were well known for increasing the CL if your card was always nearly maxed out. Seriously.
