So should we simply call the reconsideration line to move around our Barclays credit? And if so, what is the phone number?

Thanks for any help.

Got approval today for the Barclay HA Biz CC. Applied online and got a Pending status. That was on 8/9/18. Called today to inquire of the status of my app. Learned it had been declined bec Barclay thought they had extended enough credit to me already on the other 4-5 cards I have with them. The reconsideration department rep approved me after we moved some credit around and I should receive the new card in about a week. Happy me......50K miles after first purchase. AF not waived.

Why not call? All they can do is say no. Try googling Barclays Reconsideration and you'll find the #. I do know I've seen it before on DOC's blog. Not sure where it us on FT.

Thanks. You're right, of course. No harm in trying.

Occasionally, though, some new, useful info or advice surfaces in response to a query such as mine. But if it doesn't in the next day or two, I'll try the call and report back.

What are the Credit Lines on your other Barclay cards? And how many do you have?

Good question. I believe it's only one with a fairly small credit line, but will certainly check on this before calling. Thanks again.

I'm confused. If you only have a small CL how is Barclays going to move anything around? There is nothing to move around. It sounds like Barclays has issued you all the credit they want to. That's my guess. You can call but it doesn't look good. Let us know what happens.
