Barclay denied

[LadyJEsq]

Per my usual, since you took the HP, I say recon. I don't know which Barclay card you applied for, but both the Reward and NFL card are considered "fair" cards by Barclay (and other sites), so if you applied for either of those cards, your score should've been good enough. I'd do the recon, and see what they say. 

Don't just give up! Your fight has only just begun!

As others have said: recon it! It isn't going to hurt anything toi call in and ask for them look at it again. It could just be something didn't match on their system. I got approved for their rewards card, called in and got a CLI. They wouldn't do the full amount I asked for for but they brought it up to a reasonable limit. After a few weels I apped for the Apple card and when asked how much I thought my purchase might be I clicked $2k. It gave a verification message and I called in and for some reason my SS# didn't transfer right, gave them the right number and instant approval for $2k. ALWAYS RECON, doesn't cost anything other than a phone call

I applied for the NFL card and was declined. I called in for a recon twice. Their reps were awesome to talk to, praised my payment history and both said I simply had too many new accounts. A couple of weeks later I was shopping on the Williams Sonoma site and got a pre-approval pop up for their card, also Barclays. I applied and was approved. Then, two days after that I received a "pre selected" offer in the mail from Barclays for the Rewards card. I applied and received the 'pending' message. Two days later I had an early morning approval email.

Nothing had changed on my credit report besides more inquiries. But since they were offering after the initial decline, I accepted.

I still want the NFL card. If I can manage to stop applying, maybe I'll get it next year.

I can no clue how to recon!!! Lol, but I do have a cap 1 plat, I've had it for a year. It was a $20" secured and they gave me a CLI without me asking. So now it's $550. I think I allowed my head to grow too big because the other 2 I was approved for haha! Thanks everyone!
