Hi everone. I just called and the CSR said, Oh no, its always an HP. I said no thanks, what about an APR reduction ? Sir, I will have to transfer you to a specialist ;-) So the plan worked, I was transfered but I was really after the SP CLI and I didnt request an APR reduction. I PIF anyway.
It took the specialist all of 1 second to say Yes, you're eligible for an SP CLI. She asked me a few questions, income, housing etc, and Bam 1k CLI bringing me to 4k. I use the card a lot and I guess I was expecting more of a CLI but I'll take it. My 5th statement just cut yesterday. Next month i'll go for the APR reduction 
5 months in and Im good with Barclays so far.

Very nice! Front line CSR's are just for screening if you are eligible they transfer you to retentions and that is where the magic can and does happen alot of time.. Might have to pull out and give them a call today since they just softed me a day or two ago.
Well it worked but not prime .. Got my APR reduced from 24.99 to a cool 23.99. CL went from $2130 to $2630. Won't complain because it's better just hoping for a bit more. Have had the CC (Rewards) 17 months now, and I have neither asked or gotten a CLI up until now.
But it's progress.. 
So here is another soft pull cli with barclays.
I have the Apple Rewards and Rewards MC. Both opened at the very end of September, probably around 9/25 and the first charge on the card was on 9/28/15 (for both cards)
Both cards have only had one statement cut, Apple is having the second one cut on 11/11. Both cards have heavily been used. Today i called in to ask a few questions about my balances, and explained the lady that i wanted to make sure my payments will post on time to bring my balance to 0 by the statement date. And she asked me if i had any plans of using the card in the future. I assume she might have thought i want to close the account or pay it off and not use it again when i mentioned that it is important for me that the card is paid off by statement cut off date. So when she asked if i would be using the card again, i asked her if she could take a look at october spending Her reaction over the phone was " Woowww" and immediately she said i have a special on apple card, that if i spend any amount in the next 90 days, i will get 5000 bonus points. I said thanks, i will take it, and asked f there was any other "special" specials She looked at the account and said i am eligible for a sp cli, and not only on one card but both cards. She submitted the request, and said they would review it and let me know tomorrow. I think one statement is very early on both cards for a sp cli, and a 5000 point promotion, but i believe my spending has played a big role.
Apple card has only $2000 limit. And i still had charges that had not posted yet!
Rewards card has only $1000 limit and i have about $800 from the past weekend
that has not yet posted therefore not included in the nov spending yet!
So i am assuming early soft pull cli is possible with Barclays if the cards are being used heavily.
I had some recent changes on my TU, so i will post the results of the cli here tomorrow.
