Application Question?

Anonymous — Sat, 07 Nov 2015 23:11:41 GMT

My scores just increased around 80 points each. I was able to finally get my only baddie off! I'm sitting mid 700's across the board!! YAY!! I opened a Barclay Apple card last week with the baddie on. SL $2000. I really want a Venture and Quicksilver visa in time for Xmas. Will apping for the Cap 1 cards cause me problems with Barclays? I also have a fraud alert that I accidently triggered in while working on the baddie. I have submitted the paperwork to have the fraud alerts removed. Sooo how long should I wait before apping? And will the fraud alert prevent me from opening new TLs? I'm just so excited about my lovely scores, but I have opened alot of new cards recently. I wish I knew my score was going to improve much. I would have done things much differently. I truthfully thought that I would not be able to get that collection to budge. Now I need some direction! Thanks

Highly unlikely that it will cause any problems. And, yes, wait to app until your fraud alerts are lifted.

don't look too deep into the horror stories on here with barclay. yes they're new account and inquiry sensitive but that doesn't automatically mean you'll get AA for getting 2 cards since them. i got them 06/04/15 along with two others after on the same day, then another in july, then 3 more friday. so basically 6 since them and i doubt the will AA me and even if they do idc i charge maybe $400 a month on it so idc. not like i need the full limit anyway.
