I applied for Barclays Reward MC last night. Approved with low $500 limit. I called this morning asking about the limit and he said he matched my first cards from 4 years ago. I told him about my Chase, Discover and Paypal. He said he seen it but they choose to match First Premier and Cap One. I was a little disappointed but I guess oh well. I seriously need to garden now. I feel like it was a waste of my last app. How good are they with CLI?
Congrats on your approval, even thought it wasn't the limit you hoped for.

Sorry to hear 
I would suggest using the card frequently for 6 months and PIF. Barclays will do annual reviews of accounts every 6 momths and there is a good chance you will get an auto CLI.
I would call again to communicate to them that your credit has improved and there is no reason for them to offer such a low limit. 
What can you buy for $500 these days? 
Congrats on the approval sorry the limit wasn't as high as you would have liked
Use it and when they review your account you stand a good chance of them matching your other limits
Congrats on your approval, and welcome to the garden club, good move
Four years ago? How old are the other TLs you mentioned?
Recent like Jan/Feb. I just thought that if they seen prime companies that took a chance and didnt give me limits that matched FP and Cap1 they would too. I also have a BOA card that hasn't posted yet so I'll just wait and see. Hoping to garden on these cards and see my scores grow
They probably wanted you to have 6 mo history with those new TLs as opposed to 3-4 mos.
