Barclays PC

Is it possible to PC an Apple Visa to a NFL Visa?

Also if it is, should I wait i=until the yearmark to try? (Assuming I still have the Apple card and no AA )

You've been gardening for a while now, right?

It's been at least 3 weeks, I think.

Barclay's told me that they don't PC - ever. You just would need to app for the other card you want. Someone here did post that they were successful at PC-ing, but only when they were ready to cancel the card and talking with the retention dept. Of course, YMMV.

I had called last year to change my Itunes Visa to the Apple financing... and I was also told no. What they did tell me is I can close out my Itunes card and switch the CL from that one to the Itunes Visa ... which made no sense. But they did tell me I would have to wait for the 1 year mark I think?

My brother an Itunes credit card with them and was told no he could not change as they do not do that.

If I were you I would rather apply for the NFL card, you get a $200 statement credit after your first purchase. Usually with product changes you do not get the bonus offer.

I'm sure they will be. From what I've read here, there is usually some reason why Barclay's takes AA. It's not so "out of nowhere" like Amex FRs seem to be. I think as long as we're reasonable with our util and adding new accts, Barclay's should be good to us.

the better question is why you would want to, every so often they do specials like App and recieve a the NFL card use once and get $200, if you PC the card you are locked out of $200. Sit back and garden the next time they run the $200 or higher special you are in a good place to get it and enjoy the card.

if you want a NFL team card, submit a photo that represents your team to CrapOne and have them use it for your card, just make sure its not a Trademarked image they may reject not sure how picky Peggy the card reviewer is.

I was also told they would not PC my card to another and to just apply to the other card I want.

I PC'd Juniper to Barclaycard Rewards last year. I just had to threaten to close it.

One thing to keep in mind...some cards it's easier to change from Visa to Visa than Visa to MC so perhaps you have a better chance than the poster who mentioned switching to AMEX.

I was able to get a PC back in 2008, from a Juniper Visa to the Apple Visa; however, they hard pulled my report when they did it. I probably would have been better off just applying outright for the Apple Visa since Juniper/Barclay does not backdate and I lost three years of age on the Juniper Visa.

This is true.
