Soonest I can combine CL's with Barclays?

picked up a Ring card (CL $7500) a month ago, and a cash forward card (CL $5000) 3 months ago........ (@ about 15/24 FWIW)

 

Would like to close the cash forward and move CL over to the ring card ($12.5 CL would be my highest).... Also all my cards either have a 0 balance or balances under $50.00

 

Anyone know the soonest I could ask to do this without pissing off Barclays?

Re: Soonest I can combine CL's with Barclays?

I'd say wait until the ring is at least six months old since it's the newest, someone wiser on this will weigh in hopefully. But I will say you don't have to worrying about pissing off Barclays, making them nervous is what you have to watch for and everything makes them nervous, you know odd things like using your card, paying off your card even applying for their card makes them nervous. Good luck on combining and congrats on your approvals.

You can move the crdit line on the account right after it is opened, if you wish. It might not be wise, but had no issue doing this a couple years ago with an arrival card and a rewards card.

I have a never been refused a combination request, but my DW was refused a couple of days ago.

She asked via SM to move the Wyndham line to her Hawaiian line and was refused.

They didn't say why, but did offer to close the Wyndham if she still wanted to do that
