Would I be better off finding another Barclays card to apply for today as a mini app party and if I'm denied try to use the inquiry for a cli for the arrival? Or just stay away all together?
Good luck calling Barclays. You'll have to be able to do open heart surgery to get a CLI via soft pull from them. I called them today to request a CLI via soft and they gave me some spiel about how they check from time to time. I have not gotten an auto CLI from them in 1.5 years. I see on my reports that they check sporadically via soft pull. My Barclays card has the lowest limit by almost 6k. After I pull the trigger on my mortgage I am going to app for the Arrival and get rid of this Apple Visa.
Oh and I keep getting balance transfer checks but it does not have a large enough limit to warrant a balance transfer.
