earning 300k pts means spending $150k in 8 months or an avg of $18,750 per month. not bad, doable even with a $12k CL. but like c4t says, barclays is a tad bit sensitive. I guess it really comes down to many other factors: like what was credipig's total stated income on his barclays apps, how much reported credit util he had overall (and esp with barclays), how much other total credit he has with barclays and other banks, if this was his first barclays card or if he had prev good history with barclays and other banks etc.
I think its more like 600k points but he was probably using the boost portal a lot for amex gift cards. If you use the portal right now you can get 6 pts per dollar so he would have had to spend around $100k
