Barclay Arrival Plus Approval

Profile:

BoA 3-2-1 ~250/12500 (opened 11/2012)

Cap1 Quicksilver  0/3000 (opened 8/2012)

Cap1 Quicksiver1 0/400 (opened as HSBC Discover in 11/2011, but converted to Cap1 a couple of years ago)

1 Mortgage ~170k (opened in 2011)

2 Auto loans ~35k (total; summer '16, one spring '17)(4 inq)

1 Peronal Personal Loan ~12k (opened 12/2017)(1 inq)

100k income

 

Transunion Fico was 761 yesterday with BoA showing ~8300/12500 as of 12/19/2017. I dont know what the FICO score is as of today with the current balance, but I know the Vantage score went from 717 to 771 so I decided to apply. [Edit 1/20: Post-app TU FICO is 815 which includes a Barclay and BoA HP

 

Applied and received the under the review message. I called and person said I needed to verify security, but they only asked my phone number and birthday. Put on hold for 10 minutes and approved for a starting line of $5k. I asked if that could be increased and was told it would cost another HP. I reasoned that they had just checked my report 15 minutes ago. After being transferred again, the analyst agreed to review the intial report. Asked how much I wanted. Told him I'd be happy if they could at least match my Bank of America, but I'd be happy okay with $10k. 5 more minutes of holding and he came back with the 12-5.

 

I'll finally ask Cap1 and BoA for a CLI after all these years, too.

 

EDIT: Also have two positive closed accounts on my report

Cap1 Platinum 0/$750 open from 10/2011 to 10/2012. Closed because of AF and no CLI 

Auto loan of ~$12k from 10/2011 to 9/2012

Re: Barclay Arrival Plus Approval

LOL. I'm really not understanding the logic in additional HP.  One of the reps wanted argue that asking for a higher limit was an additional application for credit. My argument is that, no, it's actually a negotiation. I applied initially, you offered me 5, I countered. We are still negotiating the terms based off of my application.

Re: Barclay Arrival Plus Approval

I went ahead and requested CLI on my other cards, too. $3k Cap1 one card went to $9K instantly. $400 card went to $1150 instantly. BoA went from $12.5k to $22k after about 7 hours. My initial request was for $22K (was shooting high, hoping for at least ~17K). Got the need 7 days message and just received an email of approval. I was very suprised that Cap1 finally gave me increases after a long period of "This account type is not eligible for a credit line increase". I haven't even asked in at least 2 years. 

 

I was going to combine and cancel the $400 card because of the $59 annual fee. This card was a platinum that I just recently "upgraded" to QS1.I'll see if they'll waive the fee this year, but they refuse to waive it last year although they did in 2016.
