My uti is about 20% she noted that when i first app for barclays on jan, i had a 80% uti. Then she asked me why i had 9 new acc and my answer wad lame...

I think if i take a look at my report and see what r these 9 acc i can explain them better i think i refid my car twice in the lasy year thats 2 acc and i got a couple of store cards... Keep the advise coming ill call later today better inform now

I'd say this is going to be very borderline.  Creditors do not fancy that many new accounts open in such a short period of time, even if your best explanation is "better rewards".  Of course, everyone's experience does/will vary ... good luck.


I agree.

 

They even have you pinned with the 80% util last app you did. Probably best you concede defeat and garden for a good bit (1 year).

They are super hiper picky with new acc prior to, and i believe that after you get the cc they will also ask you. I'm even think of never apping for them even if I get approve. The csr hours are horrible for me here in the west coast, at 2pm they are all gone.

Re: How to recon "Too many new accs" for Barclays CC?

I disliked Barclays a lot and I honestly applied only because they pull TU and I had 0 inquiries on my TU.
I disliked them as well even after I got approved and wanted to close my account. After some time with it, they are much better than I expected and I'm liking it more gradually

Re: How to recon "Too many new accs" for Barclays CC?

Barclay's is weird.
I'll have to recon my Arrival app in a few weeks. Or prob even xfer some cl of my Trav Amex over.

Idk though...
I had opened 3-4 new accounts within three months of getting approved for a 6500 Trav Amex on recon.
While Barclay's is new acct/inq sensitive, once more it's a ymmv situation dependent on how accomodating the Analyst is or isn't.
The snotty young professionals usually are more hassling than the seasoned, wiser folks I find.
Anywho, good luck! Remember to remind them : no approval=
No business for them;-)

If by chance you are able to get a recon what ever you do DONT open anymore accounts...it will be a death blow to your barclays..

Hi guys

 

I just applied for the Barclays Travelocity Amex card and called today to know the status of it.

 

the lady said I was fine in everything, but, I had too many new accounts open the last YEAR!!!    9 she said.

 

I tried to make my case but she did not bite it!

 

any help so I can call again and hope to get a different csr?

 

Thanks!!!

 


If the accounts are for stores, rewards usage would be an explanation. Other explanations could be balance transfers, miles rewards because you will be traveling soon...any reason that expalins that opening the card gave you better benefits. Good luck.
