I have an array of questions involving my Barclay's Airtran card. First, some background: Got the card in '08 at a $1500 limit. Got a couple CLI's to $3900, then, earlier this month, the luv button was very kind to me and gave me a CLI to $6000. My initial intent was to see if I could do a PC within Barclays, but after discovering that was all but impossible, I applied, the same day, for a Priceline Visa. I got approved on Recon, and they took part of my CL from the Airtran card, leaving me with $2000...and approving me for the Priceline for $5k. This was on March 6. Then a few days later, I got a letter confirming what I had read on CB...which said that, due to the Airtran-Southwest merger, Chase would be taking over the Airtran accounts from Barclays. I have a Chase Freedom card, that was originally WaMu, but Chase ain't none too happy about it since I have a BK on my reports. Still, this month I was able, upon recon, to get a CLI on the Chase card from $2600 to $5000. So now I'll have 2 Chase cards. Once the Airtran card switches to Chase, I want to see if Chase will reallocate the CL from the Airtran card to my Freedom, which would now give me a $7k limit, which I could live with until my BK falls off in 2015 and they'll be more willing to give the luv. However...my questions are: 1. How sensitive would Barclays be if I asked for another CLI on the Airtran card just three weeks after the first one? My first was a soft pull I think, or possibly, a HP that they also used for the Priceline app since I only have one IQ from Barclays from that timeframe. Would I have to worry about possible AA on either card if I click the luv button again? My thought was to ask for another $3k to eventually end up with a $10k Freedom card. 2. As another alternative, since I don't fly Airtran much anymore anyway, instead of reallocating the credit line to the Freedom once Chase takes over, would Chase PC to another product? How willing is Chase to PC on a "partner" card like this?

I have an Airtran Airways A+ rewards Visa. The no AF version. Since Airtran was bought by Southwest, and its almost certain Chase (who holds SWA's Visa card) will not bebuying these accounts from Barclays, what will happen to them as Airtran is phased out? Wpuld they be willing to convert to another partner card like Priceline?
