Barclay's Recon

So I surprisngly got approved for $1,500 Barclay Apple Visa last week, and after reading about their Rewards card I figured why not apply. I looked at the reviews on Credit Karma and a lot of rebuilders were approved. I got denied, but I only got the one HP. I called to recon this morning and the guy who I talked to couldn't have been nicer. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to overturn it, but told me to try back at another time. They wanted to see how I do with the Apple Visa. I've seen threads on other's having luck trying back a few times, but I'm kind of afraid to do that. I'm torn. Part of me thinks don't be greedy since I think I got rejected from Barclay's earlier this year when rebuilding so the Apple Visa should be enough. I just think the Rewards card would be better since the rewards on the Apple are pretty useless.

Re: Barclay's Recon

Yes barclay's like to see history with their cards before approving you for another card... Give it 6 months and you should be good for the rewards card at that time.. Hope this helps.
