barclays noobs

[YahComb]

so ive got my eye on a few Barclay cards, and i know generally they like you to space out apps 6 months when you get approved for one of their cards.

I've read of successful barclay AOR after they have a history established with them, but what about going for 2 cards as a first timer? has anyone had success with that situation with Barclays? or do they always Deny the second, even after recon?

The don't nessecarily auto-decline just because you are a first time applier.. I read an article where two guys tried to see how many cards they could get at once from Barclay. One got to the 5th on instant approval and one quit after 5 instant approvals. Can't remember if they had prior cards though. Depending on your CRs, you may be able to nab both.

Barclays is the first company I tried after having a Cap One and Credit One for a couple of years, which were the first two cards I got post-bankruptcy.  I applied for an Apple card first and got approved for $1400.  I applied for a US Air card (I didn't realize it was through Barclays when I did it) about a month later and got approved for $3500.  About two months after that, I decided not to purchase the Apple product I was thinking about buying and called Barclays to see if I could move the $1400 CL over to the $3500 card and close the Apple card, which they did.

@afbar why would you want the black card with that crazy fee??

[afbar1114]

That's why I didn't apply but it's only like $50 more the Amex plat

[LS2982]

Not familiar with the black card perks are is it in line with the plat?

[afbar1114]
