There are a variety individuals who call right away or those who wait for the declined letter. The UW/Analyst number is listed in the Backdoor Numbers thread sticky (Credit Applications subforum).

I had apped late at night when they were closed, for the recon anyway, and it was the first thing i did in the morning and gor approved for $1K which happened to be my first unsecured card. They are pretty good at reconning unless your report is full of baddies, inq's and so many new accounts. Can you give some insight to your TU CR? Any baddies, how many inq, and what other accounts / revolvers do you have, and what is your fico score?

When I apped for the Sallie Mae, it took me about five minutes to pick up the phone.

You can call immediately and try one of these ...

Barclays: 866-205-5973 (credit analyst 24 hours)
Barlcays: 866-408-4064 (credit analyst MAY have limited hours).

For future reference, there is a sticky in the Credit Card Application section with all the relevant phone numbers. All the best and keep us posted on results.

I've always called immediately with Barclay. They are usually very polite, go over the report, and for me they also usually ask about specific baddies. I've been happy to have cards with them for the past few years, they've always been a pleasure to deal with.
