    ... is it likely Barclaycard will offer me a new rate?
    Ask and see. My barclaycard offers me 'transfer to a current account' and BT deals every month.
    In either case should I wait until the barclaycard is updated to bring down the percentage usage?
    Surely
    Any idea how long this will take?
    It's supposed to be monthly.
    If I apply for a different card, should I close barclaycard completely?
    This depends, but generally it's better to close.
    It might be worthwhile to cut the unused limit(s) first before applying for new card(s).

    Just call them and ask?

    Thank you

    Yes, call, but first check your online account for possible offers - right side, at the bottom.
