Can I have more than 1 Barclaycard?

lisyloo

this time there were unable to give me an immediate response and will write to me!

I got this as well, although my income and credit report look good.
I suspect there is some criteria of other that I don't meet for the automatic acceptance, although I don't know what it is.

Yes. I have three with Barclaycard and four until I recently closed one.

Whilst it is possible to have more than one, as a result of previous circumstances and changes, it is not possible to open more than one Barclaycard branded card simultaneously as a new customer.

Yes, they did reduce the credit limit on my Visa which transferred to the Mastercard. Obviously they didn't close the Visa, because I specifically asked them if I could have another card to separate personal/business expenditure!

When I applied for the Barclaycard OnePulse (Visa) card, I was really expecting it to replace the Visa card, but didn't, they just sent it to me, along with a healthy credit limit - and this didn't impact the credit limit on the existing Barclaycard Visa I already had.

I have somehow ended up with 3 Barclays credit cards, despite never having applied for one!

Morgan Stanley, Goldfish and Egg all selling out to them.

I must get round to killing off a couple of these cards.

I've had three Barclaycards for over 10 years and have just been sent two more since the rebranding of Egg......so its definitely possible to have more than one Barclaycard. I had a Visa and asked for a Mastercard,and was given one, then was given a Premier Infinite Card. Now have the two rebranded Egg cards in addition.

I was applying for their Cashback card (to get the 11% cashback + BT transfer deal).

Ah, I see....

Receive 11% cashback, up to a maximum of £100, on all spend made until 31st Dec 2011 when you transfer a balance to your new Barclaycard Platinum credit card

I assumed it meant a cashback for ongoing spend all year round. I have the Barclaycard World Mastercard (formerly Egg) that pays 1% cashback, up to £200, every year and you don't have to transfer a balance to get it. I either thought the OP was referring to this, or I was serisouly missing out on something!!

I have a standard no-benefits Barclaycard. I want to get a Barclaycard from Amazon with 0% purchase and transfer. Am I best off cancelling my current card and applying, or trying to get them to upgrade my existing card? If I cancel then try and get a new one, are they likely to refuse me?
