APR reductions from Barclay

I gave Barclay a call to see if they could reduce the APR on my Rewards and Apple Rewards cards. I was rewarded with the Apple card's APR going from 15.74 - 14.74%. My regular Rewards card had a more significant decline. That went from 17.24 - 13.24%. I usually don't carry balances that would accrue interest but it's nice to try to keep them low.  I also asked if there were any special offers and more important, SP CLIs available. No luck with those. 

EQ - 676 / TU - 667 / EX - 679

Capital One Venture - $13000 / AAA Travel Advantage Visa - $11500 / TD Cash Card - $7500 / Capital One Savor - $7500 / Bread Rewards AMEX - $6950 / Apple Card - $6500 / TD Double Up - $5500 / Mercury - $5000 / Capital One QuickSiver - $5000 / Ally Master Card - $4300 / DCU Visa - $3000

Re: APR reductions from Barclay

Good job. I need to try lowering my Uber in another month or so. I got the card in January and they gave me a 24.xx% APR with a 752 score. :/
I also want them to upgrade me from Platinum to Signature. I really think I got shafted with my application. They gave me a $10K SL, but killed me on the APR and Visa level. I called and they said to wait a few months to request better conditions.

Re: APR reductions from Barclay

I just called in to ask an APR reduction. CSR said i was eligible for a decrease from 21.24 to 17.24. I said yes, of course! Smiley Happy . I also asked if i was eligible for any CLIs and she said we would have to do a hard pull this time so I said no. She added that since my account will turn 1 year next month, they would review it by then though.

 

All in all, the APR reduction is great! I hope I get a CLI by next month though.

SL - $2000

 

Edit.

CSR mentioned my APR decrease would start on my next billing cycle.
