Re: Uber Visa Credit Card Data Points Thread for Approvals

@ABCD2199

Yes I had the Sallie Mae before they nerfed it into the Commence Card.

Even though there were small caps $250 for gas/grocery, $750 amazon monthly, 5% back on groceries, gas, and amazon wouldn't last long for Sallie.

I just looked and both my Sallie Mae and Cash Forward are open have a $500 limit. Oh well. Guess they closed all but $500.

Got a security verification needed when I called. Asked me to mail them a copy of my ID, SS and any utility bill with name on it. Sounds a little too much imo. Anyone else went through with this?

This is Barclay's standard process for identity verification.  Especially since the Equifax breach, this request has become more frequent.

Mind sharing some other data points? AAoA, recent HP's, existing accounts with Barclays, utilization?  Income definitely factors into determining credit lines and increases, but is not as big of a factor for approval.

New here .. not sure of the terms you used .. but here it is .. 

 

Moved here 5 months ago .. 

have 1 secured card with BoA and discover .. total $1200

 

I make payments way before time .. upto 5 times a months LOL .. to be able to use the card ..

 

didn't know that applying hurt your score .. had score of 689 on TU now 672

 

got 3rd card approved .. but simulator tells me that score would hit 660 .. as it would reduce the overrall avg account history period.

I'd say its the young portfolio that hurt you most.  I also have a thin portfolio, and am gardening  for the forseeable future.
