My Cap1 Platinum just had an 6 month auto CLI from $300 to $1300!! Not bad, I was expecting less. As soon as I saw the increase I had a chat session with one of there reps. She was able to do a PC to the Quicksilver One. I wasn't able to get the $39 fee waived or get more CLI. I also called a backdoor number and couldnt get any more.
What should I do next? I was thinking about apping for the Barcleycard Rewards. Or maybe Carecredit, I need some Dental work done and it could get expensive. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks!
Based on those two factors being together, I would wait until your Tax Liens has been resolved before considering any type of credit from Barclays. And to note, more than 2 INQs on your credit report within a 6 month period is also a red flag. Just give it more time and handle your that tax lien first.
According to one poster, 2 new TLs within a month is enough to get Barclaycard nervous.
