Question for Barclay's Arrival cardmembers

[enharu]

I was approved for 8k in April 2013. Haven't gotten any CLI or AA yet. I'm not expecting a CLI either. All im hoping is that they don't take AA against me.

Gotcha!

That's a great starting CL too. I'm sure you'll be fine (re AA).

From all the posts of yours that I've read you seem to be smart and fiscally mature.

 I feel the same way...I am shocked i got instantly approved after opening 8 new accounts this year. Maybe i was one of those lucky ones that went under the radar but i have a feeling they will eventually realize "how did this person get approved with so many new accounts recently opened?"...l am not going to request any CLI with them. I will see if i get any auto luv for the next year if i still have the account open...LOL.

+1...him and lots of other posters have helped many of us here (including myself).

Thanks! I'm not that smart though. I didn't know about all these credit tricks until early this year, and I'm mostly just reiterating what others have taught me.

I was lucky to have obtained credit cards when I was 18 even though I didnt quite know about all these rules and tricks. Nevertheless that gave me a good headstart for my spree earlier this year as most of my accounts were already established for 7-8 years.

Well I'm glad you're sharing your experience. That's what I like most about this forum: shared experience.

Congrats on your approval!

I had a 742 TU score at the time and was approved with a $4,000 limit. While I wasn't happy with the CL, I did deserve it because I had recently applied for another card and requested a CLI with my Amex.
