Updated: September 8, 2024 | Credit Card Review The Priceline VIP Rewards Visa Card will automatically upgrade you to VIP Gold status. With Priceline VIP Gold, you will get priority customer service, 20% discount on VIP car rental deals, up to 50% off on exclusive hotel deals at over 30,000 hotels, and more. This card also offers a $100 Global Entry or TSA Pre-Check application fee credit every anniversary year if you spent at least $10,000 in purchases within the anniversary year.
- Double-dipping: Barclays may not approve you for a credit card that you’ve already had in the past (and closed, for whatever reason).
Apply for three cards: If you apply for one Barclays card and get approved, it is recommended to apply for another two cards since Barclays is very good about approving for three cards, even within the same day. You might have to call the reconsideration department to push for the second and third cards to get approved.
- Use your Barclays card often: If you do not use your open Barclays cards often, then Barclays may hesitate to approve you for a new one
- Credit bureau: Barclays Bank will usually pull your Transunion credit report (if you freeze Transunion then Barclays will pull your Experian credit report)
- Combining same-day credit inquiries: Many data points suggest that credit inquiries for same-day applications will be combined
- Check application status: You can check your application status here
- Reconsideration: If declined you can call 1 866 408 4064 to be reconsidered
Quickest way to get my card: You can add your card to your mobile wallet immediately upon approval. Also, you can request during the credit card application for your physical card to be expedited overnight via FedEx for a $15 fee.
