Barclaycard

Has anyone successfully applied for the Barclaycard offer with 0% on balance transfers until August 05?

I applied over the web about a fortnight ago and have received no communication from them whatsoever.

Cheers, Helen.

Exactly the same here - applied two weeks ago (to the day!) and still nothing ...

The website said at the end: "we have already started to process your application ... we will contact you within 7 working days with our decision".

Monday will be the 11th working day so I'm going to telephone them then ...

They've probably been inundated with applications which is why you've probably still not heard. It always happens. And the explanation is always the same - they weren't expecting the response. It's always the same useless response - why do these company's never learn - or perhaps they do but they don't care or want to care by taking on a few more staff during busy periods.

Likewise. I applied online when they first started accepting online applications, and only got the paperwork through today.

My friend who applied in a branch, before they accepted online applications, had his processed a while ago.

Received my card early this week, I applied second day through a post application which was hand delivered to house.

Unfortunately its yet another big con by Barclays. Its our own faults if the offer seems too good to be true it normally is. The big con is the incredibly low credit limit Barclays offer. If I knew they were going to take the p*ss I wouldn't have bothered applying. You phone them up to complain and their stalling tactic is to say they will review the limit after 3 months.

FTGI the credit limit offered was 2.8k. (no doubt I have left myself open for someone to tell me otherwise, my reply is IDGAFWYT)

My friend applied for a 5k balance transfer, and was granted it with a 10k limit.

Perhaps they just don't like you :p

Without a hint of irony, "Helen" astounded uk.finance on 26 Jun 2004 by announcing:

Yes.

They're (unsurprisingly) a bit busy right now. I applied on the 10th and got my agreement through this morning.

well its a strange world we live in u dont get nothing for free and i learnt the lesson the hard way having a £100 credit limit is bad just when my friends can transfer £5000 at 0% - this is last time i will deal with them and i hate when calling them u wait hours to get through to them and then u get stupid greeting and no one lets u spk to manager so why do u call a call centre when they dont help you at all. maybe they will take notice when i close my ac , person on the other end had attitude problem maybe they are laughing at my credit limit or something well going to see what egg have to offer anything than put up with their stupid card and they can stick it where the sun does not shine
