Chase doesn't ask for SSN on personal card AU's and yet somehow those still appear.

Wow, that seems really low. I would say Barclay doesn't "like you" very much. And you're asking if you should apply for another Barclay card now?

Since my credit limit was only $650 to begin with, it also shows available credit of $90 or so.
I made the payments at least a week ago!!
I'd call Barclay. I don't recall if the sub-account will update at the statement close or not.
What's odd is that yours shows the same account #.
Mine has the Corp account with last 4 digits that are completely different from the sub-account number.

Miles usually show up the day after the statement is available to download.

Best workaround is to make your <18 yo child or maybe even your dog the AU. Using your kid, you might get them some credit history (works with Amex, though not seemlessly), and they probably don't need to worry about 5/24 until age 19 since Chase doesn't want to approve you until you've had your own CC from another bank for a year it seems.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear.

My corp shows a completely different #.
My sub-account # shows the last 4 digits of my card.

Are there any restrictions between Citi AA Biz and Barclays AA Biz cards?

My understanding is earning SUB on one does not affect eligibility to earn SUB on the other, and the 48-month language of Citi doesn’t affect Barclays, is that right?

For Barclays biz cards, how long after the AF posts do you have to cancel and get a refund?

I was approved for a new Aviator Biz card after closing my last one 2 months ago. They gave me the same $650 limit due to low income on business. Had to call in because they thought I still had a credit line open from the last one (and it shows on the website) even though all cards were closed. I told them that will force me to cycle the credit limit just to take a trip and they didn't seem to have an issue with it.

Weird that they ask for personal income and still only gave me $650...

What do you mean by "due to low income on business"? I applied (as I always do for business cards) with my name as the business name, my address as the business address, my phone as the business phone, 0 years in business, $0 business income, 0 emloyees, sole proprietor.

And my result with that $0 business income? $14k credit limit!

How you possibly have less business income than $0*, and how could your $650 be due to low business income when my $0 business income gave me $14k?

*OK, I'm sure in the real world you could have a business loss that would be less than $0, but I don't think the Aviator Biz application allows for inputting of negative numbers for business income, does it?

My last card also gave me $14k on $0 income. Not sure why this one was $650 except I had to engage with a person to get it approved. Maybe they put something different in there after asking me if the business was producing income? Also while my accounts all showed closed my initial denial was due to "sufficient credit is available on my account". I think one of their systems still thinks I have a $14k credit line with them and maybe this is why I received the low initial credit amount.

Mine was $650 also but didn't have to engage with a person.
Was approved in August.
