Well, my iPad is only a few months old, so I guess I'll be waiting a couple of years!

Barclays is not always ensitive to credit enquiries and new accounts.

It depends a lot on your credit history, If you have BK or you are rebuilding ofcourse any bank would have a **bleep** fit.

I am a prime example of how barclays would treat normally. I had 23 enquiries on TU when i applied for a barclays travelocity card and was initially declined online but on recon approved.

Next 3 months down the road asked for a CLI, was given one to $4500 by calling backdoor. Had 3 new accounts show up, was asked about it though and after an exaplanation was approved.

So barclays is not that harsh in my opinion. They are a great bank and they do have their own risk measurement policies in place. I think you should call that backdoor number and talk to somone and explain the new accounts .

Good luck

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's strikes again!!

That was my question, why the heck buy an Ipad 2 when 3 will be out Wednesday?  Are they offering a discounted price?  The new prices for 3 will remain the same, we have the original Ipad but plan on buying the Ipad 3 this weekend.

its coming out this weekend?

It might be next weekend now that I think about it, they usually announce and then a week later have it to sell.  They will probably take pre-orders by this weekend, or at least I hope so!
