Received APR reduction just for the asking

traveler2005 — Tue, 17 Nov 2015 19:16:07 GMT

Called Barclaycard US today and received an APR reduction today from 22.9 to 18.9 4% yeah!!!!!

Also called American Express awhile back and received an APR reduction from 19.2 to 16.2 3% yeah!!!

I do at times carry balances, so this does help, just thought I would share. Barclay did not offer APR reductions on accounts that are less than a year old to me, but YMMV!

Congrats. I did the same with Amex and got them to lower the APR a little. I guess I'll ask them again in a little while.
