Barclay combination possible?

Anonymous — Mon, 25 Jul 2016 23:03:52 GMT

Hey, my brother has two barclay cards. One is an Arrival (no af) and other is NFL.

He uses the hell out of the NFL card because he buys tickets with it but it only has a 1k CL. So he uses it and PIF a few times a month during the season.

He has 5k on his Arrival that he never uses. Am I right to tell him he can call some Barclay number to combine the limits and close the Arrival? He was thinking about closing it anyway.

I didn't know if you had to leave some credit on the Arrival like Chase requires.

Also, which is the best number of all the Barclay ones to call

thank you!

Just call the number on back of card, and ask to be transferred to US. Depending on his whole profile, they will transfer him to lending, and close out whatever card he wishes, move limit to other. Just did that with arrival close, move to Sallie Mae.

Yes. He can call one of the backdoor numbers and ask to transfer part of his Arrival limit to the NFL card, or ask to transfer his entire limit and close the Arrival card.

I've done both of those with Barclays.

Caveat: the new credit limit will register as a "credit limit increase", thus preventing him from getting another CLI in the near future.

when you do this, do they have to be at a zero balance? i have the rewars & the apple card. Figured would just want to keep the rewards card.

The card you are closing must have a $0 balance
