Barclays CLI

Has anyone been successful with an online CLI request to Barclays on the US Airways Dividend Miles MasterCard? If so, how old was your acct?

Not that card, but another Barclays card. I opened the card 11/3/2010 and I believe it was at $6300. I did an online request on 4/29/2011 and now it's at $9600, which is what I asked for (did my math incorrectly, wanted $10k...sigh). Hard pull! I expected that though.

I called last night and asked for a 5k CLI and was approved. My card is almost 2 years old.

Yes. My iTunes Visa was $1500 and went to $1900 two months ago. Curiousity killed the cat and my Travelocity Amex was at $1000 and about 2 minutes ago... increased to $1350.00 - it works, never tried it before today thouugh for the Amex.

Yes it was a hard pull. To me worth it for a 20k CL.

They are notorious for doing HP CLIs so I would expect one.

My Barclays just hit the 6 month mark this month so I called and asked about the CLI being a hard (already knew it would, from what I've read on this Forum) but I was trying to see if there was any way around it, and the results were less than desirable.

Always, every time a hard Not worth it to me.

+1. $12,500-$20,000 was worth the hard for me too.

Mine sits at 2,500, and I don't think even with my scores and pristine reports, I would get more than a 1500-2500 increase, so that's why I say a hard is not worth it to me, but if I was in your situation a hard would be worth a 7500 CLI.

I would call during normal hours and ask for the 7.5k. If not a instant you can always speak with the credit department.

Just a curious question.

I called backdoor about a week ago and got approved for $350 on BarclayCard (bought 160GB iPod Classic). My card will arrive with nearly all of the available balance because I paid 250 out of the 277.00 I financed - how long should I wait for a CLI (want a MacBook) ?

I would wait for at least 6 months and request a CLI. But it will be a hard inq.

Which MacBook? Air or Pro? So looking at this you would probably want at least a $1000 CL depending on which one youre getting
