Before you apply

Barclays’s application rules, as reported by people who applied. Banks don’t publish most of these. All banks’ rules

6/24 Less reliable

Barclays may turn you down if you’ve opened about 6 or more cards at any bank in the last 24 months. Too many recent accounts can lead to a denial, though it isn’t a hard cutoff.

1/6 mo Less reliable

Barclays usually approves about one new personal card every 6 months. Your odds of a denial go up inside that window.
