Barclays card pre-approved but “waiting for decision”

Either way, the only cards bearing the name "Barclays" are IIRC bank cards, not credit cards - so still outwith the remit of this forum.

You must be real fun at parties. I think the OP’s meaning was quite clear to all but the most pedantic of people

Does anybody know how many Barclaycards you can hold?

It used to be one, then they changed to two but I believe they have recently changed it to one again?

I may be completely wrong and my reasons for this is that when I used to go on their pre-checker and I put in that I was an existing customer, I would get a 95% chance offer. Now when I do this, I get a 0% offer but if I change it to that I am not an existing customer, I get a 95% chance offer.

I guess the only real way to find out is to call and ask?

I have 3 of them.

Just to update - I got declined by Barclays eventually. They didn!!!8217;t ask for any further information or support, just a straight !!!8220;we are sorry...!!!8221; letter.

However I have now got an Amex so all is good.

Noob lesson - should have applied to someone who actually knows you.

In one hand? I reckon about 15...

I have one plus a long closed account that they persist in reporting every month (nil balance) to the CRAs.
