I have no doubt that you will get the card.

Not to toot my own horn, but i have no doubts either.

I'm happy with where I am in the credit world right now. It's gotten to the point where I see an offer I like and I don't need to think about whether or not I'll be approved. Like the 70k marriot and 140k ritz cards.

Second time Barclay's has denied me for a card recently, and the last time (in sept) it happened the lady was like "weird i dont know why you weren't approved," boom, 3k (at the time my highest limit was 3.5k from cap one and barclays)

They may not like all your new accounts.

I'm not so sure i'm at that same point with some issuers.

AMEX, Chase, i'm sure will give me what I want.

Citi, BoA, Barclays, Simmons.. They'll hassle me about it.

Simmons hassles everyone. Just give them your first born and they'll open your account.

And it's not that many new accounts. They better like em, or we're gonna have a problem.

Plus I dont think my ritz card has even reported yet. Only "new" accounts would be my ring card and my marriott card which are both a few months old already.

Pulled 3k off my arrival card and got approved.

I'll change all my recurring bills i have on it and then probably move the last $500 off and close it.

50k miles, yayayay

Congrats on the approval! Love those "first purchase" requirements to get signup bonus. Too bad you dont see too many of them.

How were you able to get a hold of them today? They didn't even pull a CR for mine.

Nice. Now I just gotta explain to them why I want this card again when I technically had it before. I didn't even take advantage of the sign up bonus then. Help me guys.

Dont even mention it.

Just say "Hi, I put in an application and was wondering if you needed anything else from me to process it"

They'll tell you what's up, and then work it out with them.

Everything checked out, even when she brought up the fact I had the card before and I was honest about what happened and she was able to pull a CR. New accounts got me though and she wasn't able to do anything though she was pretty nice about it. She especially mentioned the fact my current Barclay card is still new in their eyes (I got it back in September) so that was another reason. Oh well. Gardening will be a pain once again but she has a point. There's still the Chase Ink though that I wanna get soon.

Someone told me they're still gonna offer this card until March 31st, so I can try again when my Barclay card turns six months.

JSUCOOL76,

Congratulations on your approval!

Thanks for that 24/7 underwriting #, I just got my pending Sallie Mae Mastercard app approved by talking with a nice lady. She asked me a few verification questions and then asked why I filed bankruptcy so I explained and she said everything else about my report and history with them was positive and advised since I don't have much usage on my NFL World Mastercard we could move $2500 over to open the Sallie Mae Mastercard. Wait 7-10 days for my card, Yay, I get the opportunity for more credit line increases and the card I really wanted!

I'd much rather get an auto approval like I did back then than having to deal with another analyst. They didn't even pull a CR at first for this card cause I tried the Ring not too long ago and that was an auto denial.
