End result - new Arrival+ card with a 10K CL!
Hope this info helps anyone in a similar situation.
anybody else have positive experience of overturning denial decision for Arrival+?
what did you say?
got rejected for "having too many new accounts in the previous 12 months" (18, actually
), and advised to allow the new accounts to age first.
