Barclays Arrival World Mastercard Approved, but have a question

[Anonymous]

I just got approved for the Barclays Arrival World Mastercard with a $5,000 limit. Has anyone had any success calling and asking for more? What are the CLI options with Barclays? SP or HP when asking for a CLI on the website?

Any and all responses welcome.

Thank you for the help.

How many INQs on TU? What is UTL? What is total CC debt balance? Be preapared to address these types of questions when you call. Great experience with Barclays when I've contacted them. Make sure you call analyst though--number in Backdoor thread.

good luck! And congrats!

7 Inquiries on TU, 4% utilization, about $1100 of cc debt I just paid for today, so by Monday it should be 0.

i just spoke with a super nice lady through the Backdoor number. I was worried about how much I should ask for so I only went for 10k and they approved it right away. Probably should have tried for higher, but I am happy. Thank you for the backdoor number idea.

Excellent! Congrats!! I love this card and have been very pleased with SP CLIs over last year. Saving my rewards for something special.

I'd call again and ask for 30K, you have nothing to lose, SKYS THE LIMIT!
