Barclaycard

funkychick11

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.
