Any luck getting matched to the current bonus? I called AND sent them a secured message and the only response I received was "Your inquiry has been forwarded to the proper channel".

Meh.

My phone as the business phone
0 years in business
$0 business income to date
minimum employees (1)
Sole Proprietor

I've not had either a personal or business Barclays card in at least three years.

I want to add another data point, I used this same strategy and was approved, it wasn't instant though. I received a message that my submission was under review and that I would be contacted within 24 hours if any other info was needed. Called recon line, they told me to sit tight and that I would likely be approved. Received email "Congratulations, you've been approved!"

This was the first business card I have ever applied for.

I met the $1k spend (without including the annual fee) but didn't get the 65k bonus miles on my first statement even though I did get the 10k employee card bonus. Never had the card before (though I do have a personal Aviator). Anyone know how long it takes? On the personal Aviator, I think you have to wait for one statement afterboaying the annual fee.

Denied on the Aviator Business 75k app. Called recon and they said too many accounts opened recently and not enough age of credit on them, yet they declined to define what too much is and how long the age of credit needs to be. Oh well, moving on.

Now that the dust has settled a bit with the changes, does anyone definitively know if I can earn $3k EQD with both the personal silver and the business card for a total of $6k EQD?

Applied, added employee card info but then I think I hit NO THANKS on the employee section. How do I know for sure I added employee authorized user?

I called the customer care line but they can't see the new card in their system yet. Was asked to call the lending dept to add AU but I don't want to be grilled unnecessarily.

I have 30 days, I guess wait to get my new card and then call to add AU?

Any other number I can call except for the recon line?

Before I apply should I call and reduce the credit limit of my Aviator Red personal credit card? Or will the Business Credit line not be affected by Personal credit line? Thanks!

For the first time in my long life, I got rejected by Barclay for this card.

FICO score of 830 and business has 41 years of life. 0 late payments ever. Decent income and gross business profit.

Perhaps declined since I closed one of my 2 Aviator Red cards a few months ago.

The good news: I really did not NEED the card. Also, I was declined within 18 hours so now I can move on.

Adios Barclay Bank!

Please come back once you find out (presumably from a letter which they're going to send to you) the actual reason they gave for denying you.

We need to know whether it's what you're guessing at or something completely different. Thanks.

How long did your pending period take? Did you have to reduce any other lines or provide any documentation? Thanks

About 5 days, they did not contact me, nor did I call them.

I will have my wife apply for the card, after I receive the miles.
