That's a lot of hassle they caused you, makes sense they are being generous on the compensation.

Less then three weeks, though I overnighted the docs to them

Not that big of a hassle but for a $1k card they should be serving me better

no it doesn't. Barclays is the worst with fraud alerts and they usually don't give a darn what you think

Yup, I get a fraud alert 50% of the time I apply for a card and they ask for DL and SSN pictures every time. Then they lose the documents...

Let me rephrase, I wasn't clear. My point was just because OP had a more serious issue with them, and get a sympathetic rep to care enough about his plight to refund the AF, is in no way an indication that "it won't be hard getting the AF back". FWIW though, I have gotten signifigant points and AF waived on other Barclays for the same security problems.

Yes
Interesting, because Doctor of Credit wrote this:

Application Information

When you apply for this card, it’s run through Barclaycard’s normal application procedure, this means it should be a TransUnion credit pull and it should be possible to get multiple inquiries merged. If you apply for any of these cards, let us know if you were approved/denied and some more information (income, credit score etc).

Apparently all applications for these go automatically into manual review, you can expedite this by calling in. Few reasons why they might deny you:

Bankruptcy on file
Too many new accounts

Lower the limit the better if you're just cancelling ;)

Someone on reddit mentioned that the card act precludes companies from charging an annual fee that's more than 25%~ of your credit line (something like this). Has anyone heard this before?

Can you transfer out the credit limit when closing the card?
