Recommended application time

1. Barclays places great emphasis on recent Hard Pulls and recommends applying when the number of Hard Pulls within 6 months is less than 6, although this is not a strict rule.
2. [6/24 rule] Similar to Chase’s 5/24 rule, Barclays will also reject you if you have 6 or more new accounts within 24 months. However, unlike Chase, Barclays’ rule is not strictly enforced and there are often counter-examples.
3. It is recommended that you apply after having a credit history of more than one year.
4. Theoretically, only Permanent Residents (green card holders or citizens) can apply for Barclays credit cards. The screenshot below is from the application details. In fact, the bank does not really verify whether you are a green card holder or citizen. Non-green card holders can also apply, but at their own risk.

Summarize

Breeze is a new small budget airline that is currently working hard to expand. This card doesn't seem to be very attractive. The sign-up bonus is equivalent to $500, but the annual fee is $89. Cardholders don't get any other benefits except Group 1 priority boarding and WiFI when taking flights? ? Annual 7500 points (equivalent to $75) and you have to spend $10k to get it... It's a completely uncompetitive card.
