Barclay Pre-qual Working Again?

PandiferBear — Sun, 06 Sep 2015 01:13:54 GMT

I tried to post this, but it disappeared. There was a link in it, so it may have been routed to the bin where we throw shady posts. I was looking at an old thread on Barclay pre-approval, which we know has been dead for some time. I tried it tonight, and it took me to a pre-qual page. It looked very much like it used to, except the cards now have chips. I played guinea pig, and I only got recommendations. I would love the Ring eventually. If anyone wants to try it, please report back with your results. Search for forums for "Barclay's pre-approval link" - it is the first one.

Its working but I got nada except recommendations Ring, Rewards and Arrival. They showed up instantly so Im wondering if a SP was even done.

Interesting. It's back alright. Good find.

They still keep Sallie Mae out of the limelight however. Probably a good idea for them.

Thanks guys. I was pretty excited and had not seen it here, so I thought there would be of interest. Interesting Heavenly Flower - I got the same results. And it changes what is up on top based on my "interests." I hope this is not more like the "Discover Pre-qual." I would definitely be interested to know if anyone gets a real hit with it.

Edit for grammar

It's back, but like HF, it seems that the results came back too quick for me. No offers, just recommendations, and instead of card pictures I get broken links. Maybe they are bringing it back, but doesn't look like it's working at the moment.

I'll have to give it a shot. Good find!

Im inclined to agree with happypill. They might be working out the kinks for a later comeback. We shall see!

Perhaps they are working on making it available again, but doesn't appear to be fully functional. The images are broken when I am recommended cards.

Agreed. I also get the broken links after putting in info. Definitely something to keep an eye on in the future. Looks like it will be back, and I certainly hope so.

If that card ever becomes super popular outside of the forum people who actually know about it, I'd say it would be nerfed sooner than later so it's a good thing it's "on the down low".

I agree. I hope it's still around in '17 when I app for it. It's one I've been wanting for a while now.

I'm guessing it's not one to be trusted as it came back with suggestions for me and I'm opted out on all three bureaus...

Re: Barclay Pre-qual Working Again?

B335is — Sun, 06 Sep 2015 06:20:43 GMT

Suggestions for me as well. Arrival, Rewards and Ring. Good find OP.

Great info. no one posted a link in this thread? hmmmm

https://www.barclaycardus.com/apply/ProactivePrescreenLanding.action

got ring, arrival and rewards recommended. looks like another shady recommendation kinda like Boa and Discover

I wonder if it will say congratulations to anyone like with Citi, Chase and Capital one. then people would know if their chances are good or just rolling the Dice on this site.

Interesting. I also got the same three recommendations. Im happy to see it back though! I never got to try it the last time, and scores were too low. I hope this means it'll be back!

Good find op

Re: Barclay Pre-qual Working Again?

kdm31091 — Sun, 06 Sep 2015 15:02:15 GMT

This appears just to be generic "recommendations" a la BOA or Discover so I wouldn't put much stock into it.

Came back way to quick.. Probably working on rolling it out again.. No way did it do a query that quickly or even sp my credit was instant on recommended offer.

Yes. Useless. I just experimented with Spongebob Squarepants. And it came back with 3 recommendations.

The ring. The arrival and rewards cards. so no go for this.

I bet it will be back is my guess, just haven't fully rolled it out yet by either SP'inng you or from a loaded feed of your current report provided in bulks from the CRA's. My guess is is will be alot better in the coming weeks/months and actually mean something like the old site did.
