Reallocate limit on one barclaycard to another

Hi all  so I have an iTunes reward visa with a limit of $250.00 opened with them in 2008, and I have a barclaycard rewards card opened in 11/2013 that had a $500 limit and was auto increased to $1500 this month.  I've never gotten an increase on the itunes card, and don't want a hp for one either, should I transfer the limit from this card and put it on my rewards card and close the itunes one?  It's an old account since my bk was in 2006, so little hesitant on closing an old card.  Will this count as an cli on my rewards card if I do this?

I don't think that Barclay allows you to transfer credit limits between different cards.

I called and they said that they could do that.

Yes they do. It won't count as a CLI either.

It shouldn't affect your AAoA until it falls off your report, likely in 10 years
