Closed Barclays Premier Arrival Card after two CL reductions in less than 6 months

Less than 6 months ago Barclay's reduced my credit line by 60%. I was able to get it restored after having to request a CLI and actually got a higher CL. I took up on their offer to upgrade to the Premier Arrival from Arrival + (dumb move) a few months later. Another month goes by and they reduced my CL again. They told me I could request a CL increase again but I decided to just close the account. 

 

The irritating part is I had to speak with two people, who asked me to reconsider, before the account was closed....
