If you recently applied for a Barclaycard credit card and received a message that your application is pending review, here is how to check your Barclays credit card application status and the Barclay reconsideration phone number in case your application is still pending or denied.
How to check Barclays credit card application status
You can check your Barclay credit card application status both online and by telephone.
By Telephone:
Barclaycard has an automated telephone line that you can call to check the status of your recent credit card application.
To check your Barclay credit card application status call 888-232-0780. You will be asked for the last 4 digits of your credit card number. If you do not say anything and stay on the line you will then be given the option to say “Check on an application”. You can then enter your social security number and zip code to check your status through the automated telephone system. (Update: The automated telephone line is not allowing you to check your application status)
Online:
Barclays has an online form to check your Barclaycard credit card application status in the last 90 days. Visit https://www.barclaycardus.com/apply/cas/applications/search and enter your last name, last 4 digits of your social security number, zip code and email address:
You will then see your application status. This was my status when my card was approved:
This is what you will see if your application status is pending:
Denied or Decision Still Pending? Call the Barclays Reconsideration Line
If your application was denied, you can call the Barclay reconsideration line and ask them to reconsider their decision.
Even if your credit card application is still pending, you can call the reconsideration line for an immediate decision.
The Barclaycard reconsideration line phone number is 866-408-4064 (8 am till midnight) and you will be connected to an analyst.
If Barclaycard is unwilling to extend you more credit and you already have other Barclays cards, you might be approved if you ask the representative to move some of your credit from one of your other credit cards or ask them to close one of your other credit card accounts.
Hi, I submitted an application in flight Feb 24 flying from ORD to MSP on American Airlines. I’ve called and talked with both Barclay and American Airlines. They do not know why my application is not in process. They said maybe give it a few days because of the weather delaying mail? However it has been over a week now and when I do the application checker it still shows no application found. I’m getting a little worried, my social security number and other information was on that. I would really appreciate some reassurance on where that app is?
Hi l send de paper for application en March my application is not en process. I send my social security and other information.
I submitted an application in April after a hard sell on an American Airlines flight from New York. (Thousands of miles and great benefits, etc.) They gave a paper application and collected the applications during the flight. Barclays pulled my credit shorty afterward, however I never heard anything. I called the 888 number and they had a difficult time looking for my application. They could not give me an update. They said the flight attendant should have told me to apply online! Well, that was never stated by the flight attendant, he just collected all the applications. After 25 minutes of the customer service person putting me on hold, asking for more and more detailed info, putting me on hold again. She said she was going to transfer me to the credit department and then the line cut out. What a complete waste of time this entire process was.
