Has anyone had any luck with a Barclay Card PC or APR reduction?
Interested in this as well. I have a SM card and wouldn't mind a lower APR.
They are one of my lowest limits, I am considering axing the card altogether. I honestly don't use it.
IME Barclay is ok with PC and even shifting limits between cards, but an APR reduction from them is nearly nonexistent. I've called in for months asking and they tell me that my accounts are not eligible--they however tell me to make sure I make heavy use of the card for APR reductions in the future. Honestly, I don't think it'll ever happen.

Do they hard pull for PC? Do you think they would convert my Juniper MC to a Priceline Visa or Travelocity Amex? Or even a Barclay Rewards?
I've been successful with both APR reduction and multiple PC's with Barclays.
PC's:
Rewards MC -> Arrival Card
Apple Visa -> Rewards Visa
APR:
Arrival 21.99% -> 19.24%
Rewards Visa 21.99% -> 19.24%
Just added a Sallie Mae MC to my collection and called about lowering APR, no problem 19.99% -> 17.99%
Barclays does have offers to lower APRs, I believe you just have to call and ask about it. I did it for a few months straight and after about the 3rd month of calling they said there was an offer to lower it by 2 points.
Also I know Barclays will PC cards. You can do the following as the rep told me:
Partner card TO a Barclays card
Barclays TO a Barclays card
Cannot do
Barclays to Partner
Partner to Partner.
Do you still get the free FICO with the Sallie Mae? I assume yes, but just want to make sure.
Barclays is my #1 creditor when it comes to BT's. I'm able to get an 18-month 0% APR BT at NO TRANSACTION FEE. I heard of 2% BT fees but 0%! Whenever I rack up a large expense like vacation I'll pay for the vacation with my rewards card and then transfer it to Barclay at $0, 0%, no worries til nearly 2 years.
I know this is a stretch but do they PC rewards over to Sallie Mae by chance?
On another note, i am making strong use of their CC as well as 0% BT, PIF then rinse to repeat. They have to like the lil extra in fees for the transfer.
