How difficult is it to get approved for a Barclaycard cc?

[Anonymous]

A little over six months ago I went on an app spree and acquired 6 new credit cards, bringing my total to 7. My AAoA is currently about 1 1/2 years. Other than that my credit is great, scores from 720-760.

Taking this into account, how likely would it be fo me to get approved for the Arrival+ or Ring? Should I wait longer to apply?

They let me in after 1 year of solid payments with other big lenders.  TU was 695 at the time.  They were my 2nd app after a 7 month garden.  Previous to that 7 months I had 6 new accounts throughout that year.

I got denied in March after applying for the arrival +. The reason they gave was too many new accounts. I had opened about 7 new accounts in July 2015. They pulled TU which at the time was 712 and my AAOA was 4 years.

Called to recon and they said they wanted to see the new accounts have more histoy before they could approve me  -__-

Hope this helps.

Which 7 credit cards do you currently have, and what does Barclay offer that those 7 don't?

The Ring would be the toughest one they have with that APR.

I think you've got a good shot at it.

PS The Ring is my favorite card

That could be an issue.  People tend to overlook the impact of having new accounts.

Barclay is a weird animal for me. Only cards I have been declined for. My last shot at them was a few months ago. Was denied for too many new accounts opened in the past 6 months. I had 3 new accounts. A recon attempt did no good either. This was with scores near 800. They have also been very tough for me to get a CLI with as well.

Because of the number of new cards, I'd maybe wait a while and let them age a bit just to avoid a possible HP for nothing.

It looks like I have been blacklisted from Barclay's due to being stupid about 10 years ago....
