Barclay's Rewards Approval - Recon Update for higher initial CL

Just applied for the rewards MC and got an instant Approval for $1500, not really thrilled with the limit as this is one of my lower limits, can this be reconciled through the Analyst #, when they open up tomorrow on the same HP, or would it require another one?  I have my Equifax and Experian on Ice currently and just wanted to get in with Barclay's before freezing my TU for the next year which I Will do within the next few days.... Also I was thinking about apping for the Sallie Mae card, since I got approved for the rewards card, do they do multiple approvals with the same pull or even if its a different TU pulls what are the chances of getting two approvals same day?  I just like my accounts/pull to all age during the same time frame, seems to make sense to me.. Just not sure if you can get approved or likely to get approved for two in one day or if Barclay's will frown upon this.. At least in with them now... AMEX you are coming December via ExperianSmiley Happy

 

A bit of Stats about me

 

680 FICO TU score

AAOA 7 years

UTIL around 8% only on one card

Some lates on student loan from a few years ago and a few collections approx 3k.  Still working on fighting them or pfd, but that is another story

Income 100k+

 

Thanks all, least it wasn't a declineSmiley Happy..  Was hoping for more CL to dump one of my CC's with an annual fee coming up.  Utilization isn't a factor, but won't pay that dang AF!

 

Edited for the typos I caught during my football and beer monday

 

Called the Credit Analyst department today and reconned the initial Cl from 1500 to 4000!!  Not a bad reconSmiley Happy.  I was grateful with what they gave me, but I figured why not try for a higher one with the same pull.  Just had to explain the lates on the student loans and the few baddies and employment and she said she could offer me the above amount and I said that is a VERY good start for a new relationship between Barclay's and myself.  Smiley Happy

Re: Barclay's Rewards Approval

Thanks all... Still awaiting if on someone if Barclay's will aprrove two apps. in one day or wait till I try to Recon the initial credit line.. Also a another data point regarding my TU report..

 

 

 

12 Inquires in 2 years via TU.  Damn car loan shopping and a few denials as well from barclay's about 9 months ago...  last inquiry on TU was 9 months ago on TU..  Last account opened 9 months ago.  So haven't been abusing of mass applying as last app was 9 months ago with any CC or loan.  Can't wait for alot to fall off early 2015.

Re: Barclay's Rewards Approval

Congrats! I can't speak on the 2 HPs or not, thought I read somewhere not to press Barclays too much for multiple lines of credit as they are "conservative" with new accounts! YMMV, a quick search should remedy your question!
