Barclaycard

Hi all.
Question:
Can you hold 2 Barclaycards at the same time? I can't transfer and trying the eligibility test tells me I'd be suitable for the (other) one I want... (even though I ticked the box that I DO currently hold a Barclaycard)
Namely I hold the Barclaycard Visa and I want the Barclaycard Platinum Simplicity (better purchase rate).
Any opinions?
Thanks

Well, I've recently done exactly this and have received my platinum card and done a balance transfer at the promo rate of 0% for 25 months....
After applying I read a lot about it not being possible and even if successful I wouldn't get the promo rate but all was good for me :-)
Although i'm not sure of your circumstances and don't know if it makes a difference but my original barclaycard was a transferred account from egg......
Obviously though my balance transfer was from a different card and not my egg/barclaycard one (can't BT from same companies cards)
Hope that helps

Not 100% but I'm 95% sure that you can only apply for another barclaycard if you hold a MasterCard and apply for a Visa and vice versa.
You can't hold two barclaycard visa's unless you had the old Egg card etc.0 -
I currently have 3 Visa Barclaycard (2 x Platinum & 1 X Oyster)...the last one I got was only a few weeks ago and was given with no problems 24 months at 0%....0
