Barneys......help!

received my card today and after registering it I called for credit line increase. It keeps sending me to a live person and not the robot. Am I doing something wrong??

not to worry.  keep trying.  The exact same thing happened to me TODAY as well 10/13/2015. 

Honestly, I registered my card and did everything so quickly I think I was ahead of the automated system. 

After about 4 or 5 tries, I finally got the automated system.  I was approved instantly for $10K.  Smiley Very Happy

I'll be back in 31 days!

Re: Barneys......help!

I tried yesterday to do the "phone trick" CLI which should have been 31 days since my last credit increase and was denied.  

I tried again this morning and was denised again. Smiley Mad   I'm not sure why and have to wait a week to receive the letter as to why.  Maybe Barney's is no longer feeling generious with CLI??    I've had the Barney's card for two months.  My inital credit limit was $4500.  and was raised to $10k.  I was hoping to get up to 30k. Smiley Indifferent

As the old proverb says "haste makes waste". I wouldn't push those Barney's increases so fast. Try waiting about 2 months or till  after your next month statement hits.

 

If you want to accelerate an increase,  stop by the full line store and make a purchase of over your limit like about $15,000 to $20,000 (lots of nice stuff in their 2015 Christmas catalog ). I am sure they will go out of their way to try and accommodate your increase.  Smiley Happy

Seeing many posts about this card has me genuinely curious about shopping habits of the folks here.

 

For eveyone who has this card and pushes for increases and such:  Does everyone holding this card shop Barney's with any frequency?

I do, but I've had this card for years way before even Comenity Capital aquired the CC portfolio. I usually frequent the Chicago store.
