Barclaycard Rewards......APPROVED!!!

After 2.5+ years of rebuilding, I finally got approved for a great card!  I applied online about a year ago, and was shot down.  (To be expected). Today in the mail, I recieved an invitation to my surprise...  After 3 hours of trying to hold off and TRYING NOT to apply, I decided, WTH..... I'll give it a shot...

 

Went online, filled out the required info, and BAM!!!!  Came back with a $2000.00 starting credit line FTW!...

No more apps for at LEAST 6 months for me!   Thank you to the forums and everyone who participates here at MyFico.

Exactly what I plan on using it for!  It's so perfect!  I may add my girlfriend as an AU, so I can rack up TWICE the rewards points also.  (She has an immaculate 15 year history, with FICO's in the 770 range)  From what I have researched, they are generous and speedy on CLI's too.  They will be happy with me!!!!

Congrats!  It's a solid card. 

 

Just in case you aren't aware stores like CVS, Walgreen's and Target count as grocery stores.  It's pretty easy to rack up points quickly, even if you don't spend a lot.

 

Enjoy!
