Re: Really Want A Barclays Apple Card ?

Ok, I called and they said not at this time. The Reason they said was that i have low credit lines and my apple card is my highest limit right now, Call Back in 6 months .. Oh well , I can get a Ipad and some things for my Mac i already have , then hope for a auto CLI in the upcoming months.. Thanks again for your help !

IMO if that is your FICO TU score then you could probably get approved, even with 39% util.   And even if you are denied, they are fairly good about approving via a recon.


I got approved with a 45% util at that time

Will barclays give you any issues after the 6month mark, if  i ask for a CLI in , say 7months and they give it to me will they be ok with me seeking new credit elswhere after the cli or are they going to stalk me for another 6 months?

Re: Really Want A Barclays Apple Card ?

New to this forum and had a question...

 

I'm seriously considering applying for the Barclay Apple card, but just want an opinion on wether or not i'd be approved. Equifax score of 681, and Trans at 717. Advice?

My Trans score jumped from low 600s to 727 This month But my util is at 39%, with only 1600 total available credit . Should i wait until i pay off the 600 dollar balance before i app + wait for the new scores to come out next month . I dont really need the card, But would love to buy a new mac. i only have one inq from may of 2011, no baddies or lates.


I would get your util. down to around 8%.

 

Edit: Congrats on your approval!!!!
