Barclay's Question...

fishbjc — Thu, 19 Nov 2015 17:18:34 GMT

DH has a Barclay's Rewards Card, 0% for 12 months. Almost at the end of the 12 months (February), will be a zero balance at that time.

He applied for a Barclay's (Frontier) Card and was declined. Reason: Sufficient credit with Barclay's.

Should he 'cancel' the Barclay's card after the balance is paid off and apply again with Frontier? Just looking for a free trip to Utah. Thank you!!!!

no. no reason to do that. it appears they don't think you've been with barclays long enough so cancelling it wouldn't help.

You can call the back door # and ask them to PC part of the existing CL on the Rewards card to the new card that you want. That has worked for me in the past.

first try to recon the denial and keep both cards. then move the limit from BRM to the new card (if desired) if approved.
