In any case, I got it done, and I'm just putting the different telephone number out there. When I called the number upthread, it played a greeting for an AirTran card, I believe.
I like the way Barclay's is proactive. I recently applied for my third card with them, and I knew that the size of my credit limit on my current cards might be a problem, and I knew that I would be fine with a lower limit. Instead of getting a denial and having to call them, they called me and asked me if I was willing to move some credit from one card to the new one, and approved me when I said yes. Easy peasy! ^
