Chase Credit Card Application Status Check & Reconsideration Phone Line / Number
I just applied for the JetBlue Plus credit card and, unfortunately, wasn't approved instantly. What I saw next was the dreaded “your application is being reviewed…it can take up to 10 days” message. So, you probably don't want to wait up to 10 long days right. You have a couple options, first check the status online. Or, call the reconsideration phone number (which they do not provide).

How to Check Your Barclay Application Status Online
The first step is to check the Barclay Credit Card application status online here:
You will have to enter your Last Name, Last 4 of your social security #, ZIP code, and email address. Once you submit your info, then the current status will pop up, which, in my case, was another message saying my application was pending. Not much help there!
Check by Calling the Barclay Reconsideration Phone Number
If you application is pending or you were denied, you can call the Barclay Reconsideration phone line 866-408-4064 (here is the new number 866-710-2688) and a credit analyst will answer. Once you call, the analyst will be able to review your application and approve/reject you by the end of the phone call. However, if you've been denied, they may be able to give you some more information on why you were rejected. And, you may be able to convince them to approve you instead – maybe they just need to confirm some incorrect information?

I'm not sure of the hours, but they are open on the weekends, so just give them a ring (they answered my call Sunday night).
What to Say to the Barclay Credit Analysts
My conversation was very quick. I mentioned to the credit analyst that the JetBlue card that I had just applied for was pending and if he could check on it. After providing my information, he put me on hold to check my application. I found out I was approved when the analyst returned to the call. No further questions! Afterwards, the analyst mentioned the card will arrive in about 7 business days.
Recommendation
If you Barclay credit card is pending, first check the status online at myapplicationstatus.com. Then, if that doesn't give you any information, the next step is to call the Barclay Reconsideration Phone Line at 866-408-4064.
I applied for an interest free credit card online around 8 days ago just wondering if I met the criteria for get this card.

This article was a life saver! Applied for Barclays Aviator Red World Elite MC card before I remembered we froze our credit. Unfroze credit at all three agencies, then spent next hour in call center hell (mostly in India) trying to find the person/department needed to run credit check on existing application. After half a dozen calls and more transfers, Googled and found this article. Two minutes on the phone, credit check run and card approved. NO idea why they make it impossible to find this department, but THANKS!
Excellent!
