Barclay Ring Declined!!!! :-(

decided to pull trigger and got declined due to "too many inquiries" They pulled TU Fico 8 757. TU had 13 inquiries and 6 were within last 12 months. Attempted for recon but stated they don't because of the inquiry amount.

Awwww sorry OP to hear that. But, why you applied Barclay Ring in the first place? Just out of curiosity. A lot better cards out there to apply and benefit you more with your score over 750.

Re: Barclay Ring Declined!!!! :-(

Well from what I’ve seen they norm pull from TU and I don’t have many pulls from TU. My others scores are ok but I need to watch my EQ since my wife and I are trying to lease a new Infiniti again and they pull from them in FL. My latest one I pulled was the USAA visa signature for 6k and that pulled from EQ and I don’t want that any more. lol EQ has about 30 and 4 are from 6 months ago and they rest they’re going to be 12 months around Feb 19 when I need my best credit score to get tier 1 again.

The card doesn't make any sense unless you do balance transfers to that card, but even a balance transfer doesn't quite make sense since it has no introductory APR like the other common BT cards do. It does have zero BT fee and the standard APR is relatively low, but with intro APR and a modest BT fee you can potentially save a lot more. The card also has no reward programs so when you have other cards that earn rewards there is no reason to make purchases with this one.

 

Barclays' primary products are those co-branded rewards cards, but if you don't need them there's not much point getting them.

Well that is the main reason is for the No BT fees and a low interest rate, I would have used this in the event there is an emergency that is unforeseen and don’t want to tie cash for a month or 2. I spent about a month in the hospital with my youngest and I was out of work for it and drained most of my savings up plus not enough vacation time used since it was towards the end of the year on my birthday to be exact. granted I made it all back in a few months I didn’t want anything to pop up and didn’t have enough to pay mortgage since you can’t pay mortgage with CC.

If you are near a Synovus bank branch in FL.. apply for one of their cards.... Good APR, 0% intro and BT offer, with no BT fees ever if done over the phone...
NFCU $60.4k/PenFed $22.5k/Commerce $15K/53 $11K/Synovus $14K/BBT $11K/CapOne $12K/DCU $7.5K/BMO $7.5K/Chase $14.5k/Cabelas $10K/ and many many more!
Total CL $398600, plus car and RV loan.
Ooh. Ooh. Getting closer to that $500K mark!

I just got denied for the Barclays Apple card with the same BS reason!! Rep said "I see that you have 6 recent inquires and that is very concerning to us." I thoughtfully answered, "yes, I'm in the market for a new credit line with particular interest in financing a new Apple computer. I wasn't interested in the offers I was receiving until I found your card with the Apple Rewards which seemed like a perfect fit for me!" Yeah.. No. Zero cares given. But Chase and Amex had no problem approving me in the same day. *smh*
