Barclay's Arrival + WEMC (maybe)

Vegasr — Fri, 03 Oct 2014 03:43:34 GMT

Been tempted by the Arrival + WEMC for awhile. I just got approved for the AMEX Costco and NASA Plat Adv Reward Card last week, neither of which are reporting yet, so figured what the heck. Instant approval, however it states for the Arrival + MC with a $3500 CL, not the World Elite version.

Should I call in the morning to recon a CL to $5K or more to get the WEMC?

Also should I just make this an App Spree and apply for a few more cards tomorrow? Any pros/cons for doing so?

thanks in advace

Congrats on the approval! No downside on the recon. 3 good cards is a pretty good spree. :-)

Is the WEMC worth another HP? I honestly doubt, unless you're a savvy traveler, that you'll use the WEMC benefits.

Barclay's will use the same HP for 30 days...at least that's what I've been told by their credit analysts.

Congrats OP!

Just called the backdoor number. A very nice lady confirmed it was the World Elite version. I asked for the increase anyways. She asked if I'd be willing to move some of my CL from the NFL card and I politely said I'd rather not. She was able to increase the CL on my new card to $5k. I'm super happy about that.
Oh and they don't do another hard pull within the first 30 days.

CONGRATS on your approvals and go for the recon, worse they can say is no.
