It is definitely worth the "risk". I am referring to US AIR.

 

And like mendel said, great value. I am wanting to app a second card, but they denied me Sallie Mae not long ago, after the US Air approval.

 

And I know with Barclays sometimes its good to clear out the previous apps.

A couple quick questions for the experts. By way of background, I got my credit fixed thanks to this board, all that remains is 3 old charge offs. (Chase 11k showing zero due/owed, chase circuit city $322 paid in full, and cap one $1700 showing zero owed). Recent FICO experian from Barclay US air was 744, and I usually hover around 700 with my other monitoring services.

 

Just got Barclay in October. Had to call recon to get it. Only 2k limit. Called for an increase once but said they would hard pull and I didn't think I was ready.

 

In meantime I got 20k visa/LOC from PSECU. Ready to drop my cap 1 secured. So here's the questions:

 

I want to request a Barclay increase and get an Amex revolver and charge. What order should I do it in? Will Barclay increase after only 3 months? Should I pay my current balances in full before requesting Barclay or apping Amex? Balances aren't late, they're from Xmas shopping and not due til the 25tj of jan.

 

Thanks in advance.

Best two points I can provide is pay down as much as you can and let it update on reports and don't close cards until the new ones are in hand. That way you're not left with either. Also closing a card before applying for the other can drop you available credit and raise your debt to credit #. Some creditors may report a closed account quicker than others.

 

Also if your secured card is >2 years old and your other cards are <2 years old, it's best to keep it open until the others age to 2 years.

Had a good day even without paying down balances (impatient!).

 

Barclay raised from 2k for 5k, then to $7500 on recon this morning.

 

Amex business gold put me on wait list for more info. They are closed so still waiting. Applied yesterday.

 

Like an salamander I applied today for Amex SPG. Approved for $2500. The apped for personal Platnium and approved.

 

Kinda shocked. But I'll take it. Now I have a lot of spending to do!

 

Hopefully my Amex personal apps didn't hurt the business app cause I got the 75k miles offer and I can rack it up quick with upcoming business purchases.

Congrats!

 

Everyone that posts and asks what should I do next about applying or ask which card is best to get first, already has the application pages open and half way filled out. :rofl:

Mines usually at "click here to agree"

NolanRyan, there were five, so you have two already....

i thought there was only 3. I have referred zero people here or anywhere else. I am trying to get my first referral
I'm assuming since you're also in the DFW area that you got these for use after the merger. Did you pick up any Citi AA cards?
No which one? And what's desirable about it? Take me to school. Dfw is ten minutes from me
The Citi Platinum Select AA cards, both personal and business, have a 50K signup bonus. At least they did. With your US Airways miles, that's 150K.

I'm still waiting for the Exec to have a 100K offer again.

ill try to find the links. Will all these miles be on the same log in when the merge happens ?

Yes. You need to link your miles accounts on one of the websites now.

 

Personal: http://www.aa.com/pubcontent/en_US/disclaimers/BP-PLATHV.jsp

 

Business: http://www.aa.com/i18n/AAdvantage/earnMiles/beyondTravel/creditDebit/citi-business.jsp?anchorLocation=DirectURL&title=citibusiness

 

Well, I received my card today and I activated it then asked for a CLI and they said no. I had to call AA advantage to get my member number and after that, I immediately app'd for the business version and was approved for $13k. So I'll be sitting on 150k miles when I finish these spend requirements.
