The Barclays Dilemma

I keep hearing from people who have stopped getting approved for Barclays credit cards. What used to be an “automatic” is now a “not a chance.”  Well, my friends, I also had this situation pop up last year. It has since passed, but it’s pretty common. I have one piece of advice…

Make sure you show some spend to Barclays. They really, really, really like to see that you’re putting money on those cards. If you’re getting US Airways cards, putting a buck on them, and throwing ’em in a drawer…well, you’re probably going to get denied by these guys for a little while.

**Sorry for the delay in this post showing up. As always, I post every weekday. Just a little case of “I forgot to click publish” this time.**
