Re: Barclays recon success

Hey guys, I know this thread is somewhat old, but I am going to attempt to revive it for a second to ask for some advice...

 

Tonight I applied for the Apple card since I am going to need to replace my current computer, or possibly just get a second, I was thinking like a MacBook. So I wernt ahead and applied for the Apple Finance card through Barclay...sure enough I was denied for the following reasons:

 

  • High number of recent inquiries - this is true, within the last 6-8 months or so.
  • Insufficient credit history - I have over a year
  • Recently opened account - I have one recently opened account, I opened to replace a rebuilder.

Is it worth a recon? I haven't had succesful recon attempts in the passed and wonder if it's even worth the call.



Well you've already taken the hit so you might as well give it a go.  Doesn't hurt to try.  My advice would be if you decide to call, be nice and honest with whomever you speak with.  This can make a difference regardless of your situation.  Just my 2 cents.

Good luck.
