haha - Crap! Barclay

I just remembered that Barclay HATES new apps' within 6 months of issuing you a new LOC.

 

Guess time will tell if I made a bad move yesterday app'ing the Amex Delta Gold yesterday Smiley Surprised

 

Heck, that was why I was gardening until at least January to stay clear of their SP and AA

Re: haha - Crap! Barclay

I'm sure you'll be fine with just one new credit card account.

Re: haha - Crap! Barclay

Yeah, you should be fine.  Just don't reach for more, and keep your utilization in check.

 

I did an app within 6mo of getting my Barclay's....no adverse action.

 

It's subsequent app sprees they apparently don't like.

Re: haha - Crap! Barclay

once you got a card it should be fine, even if they don't like it i really doubt they'd cancel you anyways even if you applied for 4more cards i really doubt they'll close you down unless you applied for 4 barclay cards.
