I hear some of thier cards are good for building. Does anyone have any experiences with any of these cards from this bank?

[Eldarwen]

I personally have not had any experience with the bank nor the credit cards but heard some good things.

[Tynece]

Are they affiliated with Juniper

Are they affiliated with Juniper

Yes, I believe Barclay's bought Juniper.

[Eric]

yes the Juniper card associated w/apple is run by Barclay's. They have alot of nice airline and reward cards.

I hear they are BK friendly. Alot of thier cards are not listed or evaluated here. If allowed maybe we can get some of them added to the fg.

They are here. I have Travelocity Mastercard, and yes Itunes and Carnival Seamiles are Barclays also. They are bk friendly, but they are about slow as hsbc when it comes to cli's. Bank of America is buying barclays cards, I do know that the US Airmiles is already transfered to bofa.

I applied for the United Airways Card becasue they mailed me an offer in the mail preprinted with my frequent flyer info on it. So I looked on other people's comments and decided I did not want it. Then I was tempted and applied and was declined due to too many recent inquiries. Needless to say after starting this thread and doing some research on the bank I found the back door number this afternoon and called an analyst. Explained I only applied for the BOA account inquiry to get the amex to shop at Costco. He asked me a few questions then said I can get you approved. Will $10000.00 be ok for you? I said Sure that will be fine. I logged on to the app status and it let me register my account and everything today. So far so good I guess but I heard other people's horror stories so I am not so sure about them just yet. Has anyone had any good experiences with them?

I have heard that they tend to decrease credit limits for some consumers like AMEX. I suggest you always have a back-up.

[Tynece]

Do they decrease you becasue of use on thier card or others? Do you know?

The US Airway's Visa used to be issued by BofA a long time ago, and before that it was issued by NationsBank (NationsBank actually bought out Bank of America in the late 90's and kept the BofA name). Not sure when BofA transferred this to Juniper-seems odd that they would sell it off and then take it back, unless it is a license thing....

Okay, just Googled it, US Airways Visa's are issued by FIA Card Services (BofA a la MBNA) and the US Airways MasterCard's are issued by Barclay's.
