I would call again and talk to someone else, it seems strange that they would say that unless you reconed like 20 times for a previous card or something.

Yes it seemed strange to me.

I had made 2 or 3 recon calls back in Feb when I was turned down for the Ring card then.

They may not be able to extend anymore credit but certainly they could do some splitting to get the card open. Be persistent.

All right. I called again just now. It appears that the one which had been reconned too many times was my old application from February.

The new application isn't 'in their system'... i.e., he couldn't call it up on his screen yet.

Weird. Like I said. Give it a few days.

When I called them a few weeks ago they wanted explination for my inquiries and 2 personal loans I have. It was still a denial but the UW I called did let me know to wait about 6 months and age a lot of those inquiries and try again and I should be good. Sallie mae is on my radar for then

Thread hijack: I also have Sallie Mae on my radar screen. I have a new Barclays Rewards card (just over a month) and a Barclays Ring. All TU pulls. How many INQ did you have at the time you called them and how recent were they? I'm trying to discipline myself to resist trying to app until November for Sallie Mae.

@Vulcan I think I was near 20 overall as Ive bought a few cars (3) in the last year and several pulls each time went on TU. i think I had 10 in the last six months. From what the rep told me I would wait until your newest inquiry is over 6 months and give it a shot. That is my current plan is to make it to November and give it the ole college try again.

5/26 The denial finally came through so I called Recon.... got a very helpful guy who tried hard to transfer the credit from one of my other cards, but couldn't do it due to my high numbers of inquiries and recent accounts. Advised me to keep on managing my credit the way I have been, and to wait at least 6 mos to reapply.
