Hello everyone, the weirdest thing happened to me today. Last month I applied for credit on the Apple's website to buy an IPad 2, I was approved for up to $750.00, they sent me a Barclays Visa. Yesterday I received an offer for credit increase online, so I submitted it and was declined, so I called the Barclays backdoor number and not only they said no, they told me that they have to close my account because I have to many new accounts. Weird.
Barclay strikes again. They are known for being VERY sensitive to having other accounts/inquiries show, up to 6 or even 12 months after your account is opened.
How many new accounts do you have on your credit reports, besides Barclay ?

Sorry to hear about this, but closures are becoming the norm.
What a nightmare!!!! I will certainly be staying away from Barclay's! That's outrageous!

Was that just a box at the top when you login saying 'Boost your buying power, Request a credit line increase today"?? if so that has been there since I opened my account
also did they do a hp?

Anyway I did buy the IPad but I can't use the credit card anymore after today. I'm going to pay off my balance and forget Barclays exist.
I am lost why you cant use the iPad and they should of gave you 6 months no intreast
Another Barclays closure thread. Still don't think this is the norm but they really are sensitive to new accounts. Every time I get the itch to app one of these app's seems to pop up. I'm going on 3 1/2 months app-free since I opened Barclays. Only 2 1/2 more months till I can app again LOL.

So are they going to let you pay off the IPad in installments/financing?? Or did they stick you with the full balance since they cancelled the card??
