Barclay CLI

Looked in the mail today and there was a letter from Barclaycard giving me an automatic $500 credit limit increase.  Basically said I was a good customer and paid on time, etc.

 

The limit increased from $2000 to $2500.

 

I currently have about an $1100 balance, but most of the time since I've had it (since October '12) the balance has been under $500.

 

I haven't had any inquiries since October.

My Wallet: Capital One $673, Barclay's Apple $2k, Amex TrueEarnings Costco $6k, Chase Freedom $5k, Discover More $15k

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Barclay CLI

How old is your Barclay card?

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.....
Always follow these rules: Only take a HP for a new account. Always use the best rewards card for that reward category. Don't close a card unless you know you really should. Never use more than 35% of a credit limit. Recon as much and as best you can. Use the introductory period to the best advantage. Get the signup bonus. Whenever possible PIF or balance transfer so you pay less in interest. Never give an excellent rating when it is actually the norm. Always look for a discount as more is always better.
Always accept candy from strangers because they have the best candy or from people you know have good candy.

Oh I guess you did say that.  Well I hope they show me some luv soon as I have had my card since August.  As much of a pain they were when I opened my account, I certainly hope so.  It would be nice if they showed a little more luv with some of us.
