Barclays Wyndham Rewards Earner Business Recon!

PNW_Hunter · ‎05-25-2023

Applied for the Barclays Wyndham Rewards Earner Business Card last night so that I can status match over to Caesars Diamond and get Wyndham Diamond status, but was instantly denied.

Called recon this morning and had a great discussion with a credit analyst who overturned my denial and approved me for $5,000 SL. Original denial was for number of new accounts opened in the past 12 or 24 months - not sure which.

Super pumped for the approval due to my high velocy and barclays inconsistent 6/24 rule. No income or business verification requested (applied as legitimate sole prop) and was a great recon experience.

They pulled TransUnion (stats at the time of application): 18 INQ, 6/12, 23/24 (might as well be LOL/24).

Don't give up hope for getting this card with stats like these, my friends!

Barclays has a history of requesting documents for business credit card after the approval.

$14,000 is my sole prop income.

When I called recon, they asked to confirm personal income, business income as a sole prop, verified the industry (there is a bunch of drop downs on the application for what industry your business is in), and asked a few questions about why my credit velocity is so high.
