Yup, I did it between my Arrival and Miles and More cards.

How long did you have the card for when you moved the credit?
I just called she said they can't do (I just received the card) she offered to process a CL increase, but I don't want that as I have enough (too much) credit on my hands between all my cards.

Had my arrival since October or November... Shifted 5k over to my miles and more last month right after I got it. Try HUCAing until someone can do it for you.

Is barclays easy with pushing over credit from a different card in order to get approved ? In the past I always got approved instantly with barclays but with my third card I'm not sure that's going to be the case

I recently got declined for Arrival but called recon and got approved by shifting credit. I have very good credit. The issue seems to have been that it was my 3rd Barclays card and only about 4-5 months since last approval.

I remember reading that with a Barclay Arrival card, you also get a voucher of some sort - what voucher? I haven't received anything in the mail - not for me nor my wife. I'd like to SM them to resend. Need to know what I am asking about though

THanks

My card keeps on getting declined at CVS for purchases over $1k, so far 3 times I tried got denied, called up to verify the next day (cause they only have fraud dept. during business hours..

) anyone else have this issue? (it's a new account)

I just called them randomly, to see what I can milk from them. I asked for retention Dept., got 5K miles for not closing the card.

That is very cool.

When I called and begged them for something to make up for that I missed the deadline for the signup bonus (got married in between and it was a bit hectic), they would give me nothing. Maybe I should threaten to cancel it

Is there anyway to get the cash back without actually traveling aside from the refundable ticket workaround? Do they consider Amex GC to be travel?
