I know Barclays is rather skittish when it comes to inquiries and new accounts, so I'm hoping they like my zero inquiries and 2yr AoYA.
Did you get an instant approval or did you get the "UK experience" ?
Instant-ish 
It took them overnight to process and then approve the application. That seems to be the norm these days apparently.
They never did contact me for any info, my first indication I was approved was an email saying "thank you for going paperless on acct #####" It wasn't until about two hours later I got the congratulations message.
Worth the wait though.
All the best on your journey and good luck for the future.
@Anonymous wrote:Awesome!!!!!! Congrats on the approval!!!!!! I was at a toss up between the Barclay sand Citi AA card. I know the airline is pushing the barclays in my area. There are billboards gallore and they are advertising it on the flights. My friend says they love barclays. They have that, and the uber I think. I dont even know if I would qualify for barclay with my current credit situation. Probably not. lol
They pulled TU on my report, it's a little higher than yours, but, we all know that isn't always the deciding factor.
That Venture card is looking good in your sig there bud, congrats.

A little higher? Sir by like 80 points lol. My last charge off is due to fall off soon 6y11m old. Hoping to see a sky rocket like I did with Experian. Can’t wait to be in the credit gods good graces for good. 4 years ago I started with 13 derogatory marks (medical long story) and Ficos of low 500s. I love reading about how easily you high scorers get credit. Can’t wait to be there. I’m only 26 with a fairly short history but I’m determined lol.
You've already come a long way in a short time, you are also about 10 years ahead of where I was at your age.
Oh, and we only make it sound like getting credit is easy, cos we've had years of practice on how to word things in our posts, LOL.
I still get nervous when I hit that apply button.

Thanks @Priory_Man. I hope my app goes as smooth as yours.
