Got the card back in Nov and received the first 50K in Feb after $1k – just hit $6K total on last statement, but other 50K didn’t post – sent secure message and they said they couldn’t help me and to call. Anyone had issues with this? Card is in P2 name so want to avoid calling if possible.

Same issue here. Just came back to this post to see if others are having the same problem.

UPDATE: Looks like my extra 50k posted on the statement following the one that met the spending threshold. This happened for P1 and P2 without intervention.

Same problem.. the 2nd 50,000 didn’t post immediately while the first one did. I’ll wait a month to see.

Same problem for me. Hopefully they post with the following statement. My P2 has no desire to call….

Same issue here, likely exacerbated by the website transition. I am missing both bonus points and purchase points for the last ~1 month on the old site.

Update: Still no points, but also got finance charges (which I was assured would not hit) due to glitches in their website transition that caused them to fail to take my automatic payment I had set up. Barclays gonna Barclays.

Recently I was approved for this card with a $1000 credit limit, which is quite low. I figured perhaps I can spend, pay off the amount, and then spend more on this card, but it appears Barclays is very good at “limiting” you to the total credit limit in a billing cycle regardless of how many payments you’ve used to “free up” credit.

Is there a workaround here so I can spend about $2K per month? If not, it’s going to take 6 months to meet this minimum spend…

Pay off the Corp account, not the specific card. Counterintuitive, but this will allow you to cycle beyond your credit limit.

You could also call them immediately after making a payment. They could try to temporarily double your corp credit limit to account for your payment (or even an overpayment).

This is what works for BofA business cards, at least.

Finally approved with legit S-Corp after 30 days in review with multiple calls/faxes to provide docs. Can’t believe how archaic the online portal for this card is. Even worse than Elan cards, which is hard to do. Nothing like the Barclays consumer website, unfortunately.

Finally got worked up to apply and “the offer is no longer available.” As far as I see, it’s back to 60,000.

Applied and was denied online, but then got mail to submit a 4506T form. Is this personal income or business income documentation?

So my TU has 14 inq…do I have any shot with this? Really wish one of these companies would pull eq…I have no inquiries there! 12 on exp.
I app’d Hawaiian biz last summer and was denied, but in retrospect unsure if it was bc of inq or because of something else. Legit biz, sole prop, last year $25k profit, 4 years. I’ve had AA biz before twice.
5/24…with next one falling off 9/2021.

dizzy I’d think new accounts is a much more important factor than hard inquiries. At only 5/24, I think it’s worth going for. The downside to being rejected seems negligible compared to the upside of being approved.

Aaaaand, denied (it said pending but then I checked the status). Will give ’em a recon Monday Avi

dizzy any success? Just FYI – I think with Barclay the message you see when checking your application status (unless you are approved) is always the same. So while it may mean you are actually denied, it also could mean they just need additional documents, or they are still working on your application. I know.. how difficult would it be to have different messages, but from my experience in the past it is always the same. It says “can not offer you the credit at this time”.. which technically fits all cases (still considering, need more docs.. etc..)….

So it is not all lost. At better times Barclay took 7-10 days to approve if approval is not instant. I would just wait a bit, although giving them a call in a couple of days will probably not hurt, but may not be necessary if you are not in rush.

@VL so I haven’t called yet, waited for mail to come. It said I was denied from “too many recent applications”. Huh? I’m right at 5/24 fwiw. Guess I’ll call tomorrow, this doesn’t sound like the worst news but still feel unsure.

I was able to recon this- they said it looked good but I needed additional id verification docs. Sent it via fax, called 2 days later, few more questions, approved for $1k CL (lol, but fine, thanks)

hey Dizzy, that’s a lot of Hard Inquiries on your TU. Let me know if you would like to get them all removed within 1 week. I run a credit restoration firm here in NY and our work is fully guaranteed. Thank you. G.

Applied 1/20 for my sole proprietorship and SSN. Approved 1/25 (checked daily) for $12k limit without being asked for any docs. First Barclays business card, first Barclays card including personal in about 2 years, and an old card with grandfathered better earning rates is my “everywhere else” driver when not chasing a SUB.

DP: Applied for Jetblue and AA business card right after, both went to pending and got hit with 2 separate hard inquiries on TU. Immediately called reconciliation line, answered some simple questions on business/personal income and got both approved.
