Barclays credit card verification and reconsideration?
Search the forum and did not find the information. I applied for US Airway Barclay card yesterday and got denied. It said that the information will be sent in the mail in the next 7-10 days, and I am wondering whether anyone has experience with Barclay? Is there a reconsideration line or similar so I could call in and find out why?
I have good credit score, and have a lot of citi, chase and amex credit cards, but this is the first Barclay card I am trying to get...
Thanks for all the help!

I just called Barclays reconsideration at 866-369-1283 and got approved. I had applied in-flight for the US Airways card and never heard anything from them. The rep that I spoke with said that there was a note in my account indicating that they had tried to call me regarding the application and to move credit from my existing Barclays account, but I never received the phone call.
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.

Anyone got advice on talking to the Barclays reconsideration line? I got declined on the US Airways card during a churn this week, on the grounds that I'd applied for several other cards on the same day. Excellent credit, but this would be my first Barclays card.

They were very reasonable when I dealt with them... Maybe say that you're planning on moving, switching careers, switching airlines, etc and anticipate an entirely new spend pattern, so you applied for a few cards--as soon as your new x number of cards arrive, you're going to cancel all the existing ones. And as part of your new plan you anticipate spending $_____ per month on your US card. They might buy that...

Also declined
I have great credit but was declined because I opened 2 Chase cards and the Starwood back in April. The representative said I had too many recent card openings and that they want 9 months to a year after so many recent card openings
