Sorry K, thanks for sharing . I think when applying for Barclays its best to change your diet of coffee for tea a good 6 months out so that they can accept /reject you with a Cheerio and a scone

Dude, I just had a Marmite sandwich and a Boddington’s Ale a few days ago!

On the bright side, it’s been a while since I had an opportunity to start a thread with such a click-bait title.

So now that you know what it's  like to be human...

too soon? 

I'm gonna tippy toe out of here now

A lesser man might blame his eWife for peer pressuring him into applying.

Embarrassing is probably the wrong word. Now that I think about it, that’s insensitive to what many others here on the forums experience. More like hurt pride. I felt invincible, thinking that Capital One was my only Krypton.

Well Capital One and Barclays have something in common... two idiot banks in my book.

Sorry, K. That's a bummer. You'll get them next time

Yes, you will.

I was contemplating this same card for a brief moment, but given what's been discussed in TPG, FT and DoC a while back, I figured this one would be out of reach for a while, so thank you for the DPs and sorry to hear about the denial.  I'm at 800 (right on the dot) and I know that in it of itself won't matter (first born and other sacrificial tokens will be a moot point).   It's them babies for the last 24 months that will squash my chances before I even blink an eye   I'll hold off for a while.

ah man!!! ugh, so Sorry!!

I wonder if they are adopting the 5/24 rule without coming out and saying "5". Don't be embarrassed on the denial, and thank you for posting!

Not really idiot banks, just strict underwriting trying to prevent bonus churning. On a business level, I can't blame them. It still sucks getting denied though if you really want the card.

B-town baller don't feel bad, they got me as well. Before I knew about the 6/24. It's all good. I planned to use them as you did. 😊😂

I received the same mumbo jumbo wording. Ha ha
I haven't skipped a beat because of it though. You win some and you lose some.

No need to feel terrible at all!  LOL

I'll be down to 5/24 in October and below 5/24 in November.  May as well hold out for some Chase goodness if I don't get a green checkmark first, or if something else tempting doesn't come first (like a visit to City National Bank in Manhattan with check stubs and bank statements in hand for a Crystal Visa Infinite).

Edit: In counting those down I just realized they actually didn't factor in the CSP that I'm an AU on (November 2017).
