Multiple Barclays cards?

[crjusaf]

Anyone have recent experience with Barclays approving multiple cards in a short period of time?  I was recently approved for the Arrival+ but would like to app for the U.S. Airways card before the merger phases it out.

I was approved for the Sallie Mae and Arrival+ within a 3 month period. You will hear a lot of people on here talk about how INQ sensitive Barclays is, but I have not found them to be more sensitive than any other major bank.

Give it a shot!

I was approved for the Arrival and Sallie Mae within two months of each other earlier this year.

I was approved for an AmEx in-between those two apps.

That all depends on the person’s credit profile, balances, income and how they’re handling their ALL credit accounts.

I applied for more than 10 Credit Cards within 3 Months, they were all approved and 2 of them were Barclay Credit Cards.

I have 3 Barclays cards (all instant approvals). First was Arrival back in June 2013, then apped for Williams-sonoma on 12/13 and US Airways on 4/2014. My TU score is in the low 700's during all approvals.

Barclay must be sensitive... Can't think of any other reason they SP me every month.

They gave me a $1000 auto CLI after 6 mo so I'm happy... Talked to them last week about a PC and got different answers... One said not possible the other said maybe later.  LOL

They have SPed me every month too.  I think that is pretty standard for them the first 6-12 months.  

They are like that new girlfriend who checks your cell phone every time you go to the bathroom.  She loves you, but just doesn't want to get burned.
