Just got approved this past week. Funny thing is, on my tu report Barclay miskeyed the opening date at 1970 lol, I wasn't even alive then. Guess they were in a rush to report.
Question about Barclay, do they cld you when you apply for 1 or 2 account within a year of having them or only if you apply for another 1-2 cards? I think they will force me to garden lol.
Funny thing, I didn't realize the Barclay was an actual visa and not just an apple financing card.

Starting Score: 492-TU04, 480-EX FICO V2, 467-EQ Beacon 5 (Via Mortgage PreQual March '12)
Congratz on the approvals... I know GE cards are so fast in reporting... not sure about barclay... am thinkin of gettin the apple visa..... am torn between freedom and barclay cause I do wanna get approved with a good limit and don't wanna waste another inquiry.... questions....
what was your score upon approval (barclay)??
since you said it was visa, does that mean you can use it anywhere???? (dumb question but i just wanna make sure)
what's your starting CL ??
any baddies???
and how many inquiries do you have??
sorry for the questions.....
Yes, when I called to check my statement closing date, I was advised that Barclay is a Visa that you can use anywhere with a store apr (20 something percent). I just thought it was an apple store card but I was incorrect. I still wouldn't use it unless I PIF'd for other things (other than 0% apple offers) because of the high apr.
I was approved after RECON (which a lot of people are), they matched my highest limit. Starting CL 3,000 and my TU Score is what it shows below under WALMART Fico. I have baddies but none in the last year. Only baddies on TU are paid. My TU inquiries are odd, meaning after I applied for WalMart, GE Took off my inquiries from them that were over a year old (had applied for their amazon and another one of there cards over a year ago) so b/c of that my inquiries remained at 11.
