Barclay Rewards

Anonymous — Tue, 28 Jul 2015 02:57:12 GMT

I got approved for a Barclay Rewards card with a limit of $1,300. How are they with recon on CL?

My average credit limit is $4,100, with the lowest of Kohls @ $800 and highest of Chase Freedom @ $10,000.

My goal is to end up sacrificing the Rewards card to push my Barclay Ring card up to $10k, but that would require a $3,350 limit on the Rewards.

They're pretty good at recons in general, and allegedly they'll use the same pull for 30 days I believe. I could be wrong though.

No luck. Called in, they said they would do a soft pull. They complimented me on taking great care of my Barclays accounts since 2014, although I've been with them for two years. Offered to move credit from my Ring card to my Rewards card. I stated I would do a BT of $3,000 from Chase to my Rewards card if they gave me sufficient credit to do so, and that I'd rather not move my credit around otherwise I would have BT'd to the ring card to begin with. He verified I had a balance with Chase of $3,000 that I could BT, but stated they felt I had sufficient credit already and reiterated he could reallocate my existing credit. :/
