[APPROVAL] Barclaycard Arrival Plus!

Uncle_Money — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 18:05:00 GMT

Hey guys,

So I've been saying recently that I had my eye on the Barclaycard Arrival card. I decided to take the plunge today.

Not thrilled with the SL of $7,500 but I'll take it. I called the backdoor number and asked for a higher line. Nice analyst but he said they won't raise it right now due some other credit obligations I have and they want to see my usage and payments first. Wondering if I should try another analyst or would it be the same outcome? Maybe do nothing and be happy I got approved?

Thanks,

Uncle Money

Thanks, I just called to confirm and if I spend $3,000 within the first 90 days, I'll get the 50,000 bonus points.

Congrats on your approval! I was just approved for Barclay Ring the other day with the same SL tried 2 different credit analyst and was given the very same explanation of not wanting to increase. I think we're in good shape for it to grow just as long as we put the usage into it. Again congrats and enjoy.

** UPDATE **

bruisedcredit - You inspired me to call back a second time. I spoke to another analyst who commended me for how I handle my accounts and he DOUBLED my SL to $15,000!!! Go Barclay my new daily driver! A SL of $15K is more like it.

Guys, this go back to what I've always said... Never take no for an answer and persistence pays off.

Time to garden now!

Nice approval and recon. This is a nice signup bonus and took advantage of it myself a few months back.
