Took the Barclay Bait...

Credit-hoarder — Tue, 09 Dec 2014 04:23:01 GMT

After receiving 2 seperate pre-selected mailers for Barclay's Rewards MasterCard (I purposely let the first one expire b/c I said I'd never have anything to do with them b/c of all the stories I've seen on here of closing accounts on a whim), I decided to finally bite and received a $2500 CL.---a little bit better than I expected them to approve me for actually considering my TU score here on the myFico forum is 659. I was trying to wait until the final days before the offer expired (Dec. 12th) hoping my TU would go back up a little after taking a hit from Verizon for an unpaid balance on my land-line. At one time it was a little over 700. Now just waitng until after Jan. 1st to go for AMEX BCE to get the 2 year back-date to 2013.
