I don't believe there is any documentation for this kind of thing. You might be out of luck if it has been more than 30 days. That was what I read on a blog.

I received the Barclay AA Aviator personal card about 19 months ago & rarely use it. Applied for the 60K Business version today and was instantly approved. I wasn't sure if holding the personal version would hurt my chances of being approved for the business version. Glad it didn't. I have had no other Barclay cards in the last 2 yrs.

So my 50k miles just showed up in my account even before the first billing cycle ended. I called again and CSR said I should see the extra 10k in the next 1-2 billing cycles. Will update.

Never had business version of this card before and applied it first time. Got the message for more information. I called them and they asked me about my business, website name, # of years in business etc... after providing information, rep told me analyst will review the information and let me know by email/phone in 3-5 business. Anybody faced similar situation? what was your outcome?

i applied using the same name i used for past 2 biz cards.. i used my initials "consulting" .. i guess i should stick with just my name as my biz name then?

philemer

Yes, first and last name only.

Applied Sunday night, got "pending review" message. Received approval email 24 hours later.

What is the downgrade path for this card? I get both CitiBusiness AA and Barclay Business AA. Need to cancel one. I'm not sure which one is better.

At most if not all banks, you can only downgrade a business card to another business card. Does Barclay issue any no-fee business cards?

Approved on Monday, card received on Saturday. Given that I was told 7-10 days, pretty happy with that (no request to expedite....because why?).

DP..instant approved w/no issues. Only other history I have with them is Arrival plus that I haven't put any real spend on in over 2yrs.

DP. Pending and then denied 10 minutes later. I got the Aviator Red Personal back in January. 760 credit score, College student (21), 30K income, 4000 business revenue, No debt. I was denied for too many new accounts in the past 24 months. Based off Credit Karma, I opened 7 personal credit card accounts (1 of them is an Amex Platinum Authorized User card) in the past 24 months. Opened 3 credit cards in the past 6 months (4 if you count the Amex Platinum AU card). I haven't opened a personal credit card in the past 3 months. I also got 3 business cards in the past 6 months (not on my credit report), 2 of them in the past 3 months. I called reconsideration twice and both time I was told that due to too many new accounts opened in the past 24 months I could not be reconsidered. I'm going to try tomorrow again and escalate to a manager and see what happens. Any advice?

DP: applied 9/4, went pending. 9/15 a card mysteriously appears in the mail. Yay.

Website is super crappy. Had to call in to see how to setup autopay; they instructed me to send bank instructions via SM. At least that went thru on the first try (no back & forth needed).

Surprised to read this - "super crappy" compared to what? Logging in via the business card web portal and it seems pretty simple, easy to navigate. Menu on the left, balance/payment at the top right corner.

When I log on using the business card web portal, there's a big blue box on the right with a button that says "make payment". Click on that and you enter account number, routing number, etc. (It's not how I make payments to credit card companies but it wasn't difficult to find, IMO.)
