Re: barclays apple after a year

Mine started off at 1700 just over 2 years ago. Then it went to 2700. Now it's 2050.

 

Barclays & Lowes card were the only ones to slash my limits after the November short sale of the house. They went slashy in January.

 

Orchard actually *raised* my credit limit, and my FICO scores all skyrocketed otherwise. Barclays won't budge. Even recently I tried to get them to do a CLI (burned an inquiry trying to get them to do a product change) and was declined.

Creditkeeper 6/12
TU: 678
EQ: 665
EX: 673
Walmart FICO: 680 (6/12)

Re: barclays apple after a year

My 6 month mark is coming up with my Apple card. I have since gotten 4 cards.

Re: barclays apple after a year

My 6th stmt cut this month and no CLI. But I was approved for the Barclay's Rewards MC @ $5k. My Apple still sits @ $2200.

 

Hoping for CLI, but when I posted about it earlier this month, most people didn't get auto-CLIs until after 12 mos.
