Got a question, hope someone can answer... How do I activate my Discover Card gift card? Thanks in advance for any answer or 2. Another quick question... Hey there,. |
|
|
|
That's a good question. I'm not sure what is the answer to that question. I'll do some investigation and get back to you if I discover an good answer. You should email the people at Discover Card as they probably could assist you..
|
|
So did you apply at apple.com for this card...and if you don't mind me asking, for how much approved?.

No no, I applied for a virgin america card, but when I called the credit analysts at Barclays, they asked up front if it was for the apple card (it wasn't)..
I've since asked a friend who bought a macbook pro and applied for the card to pay for it, it's backed by barclays... |
|
I have a Macbook Pro and totally LOVE it! So yeah...it's worth it to me..
Isn't Barclays Juniper?.. |
|
Awesome! Do you happen to have the 13", 15" or 17"?.
....And when applying for the card from apple.com - is it still a TU pull?.. |
|
Sleepless....
...Two other questions:. ...How do you find the system specifications for the MacBook...on my GF's - she has the 13" and I was wondering if she got the 2GB or 4GB one they have...is there a way to find this in. Settings. Or something...I can't find it for the life of me. Each time I google it, I get werid answers not pertaining to what I am trying to find at all.. ...At the Apple Store there is a small icon on the MacBook Pro's on the upper right that looks like a TV and you can adjust the screen resolution...I figured out how to adjust the resolution through settings, but not to get that easy to use icon up there...do you know?. Thanks.. |
|
Click the Apple icon in the upper left hand corner then click About This Mac..
Or alternatively you can open up System Profiler... |
|
I have a 15" 2 years old and it's never crashed or had a virus..
Not sure about the card though...I used a different form of payment when I got mine.. But I do have a Juniper card and the pull was TU (less than a year ago).. |
|
Fantastic...that's the one I am looking at getting. Love the new titanium one shell design...the screen is amazing!.
Let me know if you know how to get the screen resolution icon in the upper right by "wireless" and "battery life" icons.. Found the "apple-about this mac" THANK YOU!. So is there a Barclay site? Is there a better Barclay card than another, LOL?.. |
|
Yep...very intuitive. I *love* my MAC..
As soon as I learned the "apple" icon was a "command" it was easy.. Click the Apple icon in the upper left hand corner then click About This Mac. Basically tells you everything about the hardware and should give you all of the info you need.. If it doesn't let me know!.. |
|
Apple products are cool! You can go wrong with a Macbook Pro...
|
|
Andrew...thank you. I didn't mean to overlook your post. Thought you were sleepless responding to me.
Would you happen to know about the ICON for the screen resolution in the upper right corner?. Also, how do you like YOUR mac?.. |
|
Mac sucks..
Nice OS based on Mach kernel, but poor hardware. *I better hide from Mac fans.. *.. |
|
LOL...I always thought that as well, however, playing around with one has got me interested...
|
|
As a TU puller...(as it sits now, highest FICO) which would be better to apply for:.
Barclay. Or. Hooters. Better CL and/or overall card. Looking to purchase the MacBook Pro.. FICO 686TU.. |
|
I applied for Hooters and Barclays on the same day, TU was my highest FICO was well..
Hooters approved at 300$. Barclays approved at 1,000$.. |
|
Which site did you go to for the Barclay?.
Is it not deemed to go to the apple.com and apply through that path? Is that not a TU puller this way?.. |
|
I have no idea for the apple card, as I said, that is NOT the barclays product that I have..
I applied for the. Virgin America card. ... |
|
You might want to look at macmall.com. They have their own financing or you can use BillMeLater, and their prices are lower than the apple store..
All the limits I have heard of on the Apple card have been LOW.. This post has been edited by. Mysschevous. : 20 September 2009 - 05:46 AM.. |
|
Open the System preferences and click on "Displays". There's a little box to check that adds the icon to the menu bar...
|
|
Thanks for the link, however, there is no warranty, ONE on ONE training or a way to move pics and music over from my HP to the MAC by going through online, which all is included at APPLE..
Awesome. This post has been edited by. S7v7n. : 20 September 2009 - 06:12 PM.. |

Some barclays cards often have low limits, such as itunes. barclays is also good for recon if initially denied. Many here have limits with it well over 30,000. not sure how that is low..
Merrick bank is as subprime as they come.. Wasn't the barclays limit reported above >3 times merrick?. This post has been edited by. Hegemony. : 20 September 2009 - 06:46 PM.. |
|
Very true Hege...thanks!.
Does it matter which card to go off of or does it matter if I just apply from apple.com...? Still all BARCLAY a TU puller as of late?.. |
|
I've not heard of Barclays pulling any other bureau for personal cards.....
|
|
They pulled TU yesterday. Application via apple.com, as always Barclay is unable to make instant decision (no inq., FICO 750+, clean report). CSR had no idea what I was talking about and was absolutely positive that Barclay does not service apple card. I'll get this card, no doubt, but I doubt I am even going to activate it. I sent email to apple,describing why they lost sale today..
I have no experience with Merrick, but Barclay is as subprime as they come... |
|
Great machine, highly recommend purchasing one. Both myself and GF have MBPs, and I have a Mac Pro at the office, and they extremely reliable systems...
|
|
If I were you, I would apply for the Best Buy store card. They sell most of the Apple products and tend to have better CLs (and CLIs) and have better 0% offers. For example, right now they have 0% for 18 months on purchases of $499 and up compared to 12 months with the Apple card...
|
|
So I just applied, TU pulled, score 777, got a "we'll get back to you" response. Although it may be because I have a FA on my account...

I use a mac at work. Beautiful system. 30" Cinema Display..
At home I use PCs. I have a Vaio laptop.. Truth be told, it's never crashed nor have I had a virus.. The hardest thing about going back and forth is the fact that the acceleration of the mouse is just different.. I thought using a mac at work would make me want one at home.. They are nice. But to me, a mac is a luxury item. As a computer, it is not worth the 200% markup over a PC. The hardware is the same commodity stuff made in the same chinese factories. As a computer, there is no way to justify the extra price. As a luxury, status item, sure, if that's your priority, then go for it. I certainly indulge in my fair share of luxury items. But for me, even using a mac at work, even being a software engineer, I decline to indulge in unneeded luxury on a notebook and instead indulge in unneeded luxury in my car, and my vacations, etc.. So what I'm saying is... if you think you're buying 2x the computer, it's my well-informed professional opinion that that is not the case. But if you know what you're buying and can afford it, then yes, go for it. It's certainly a nice product.. This post has been edited by. Encoder. : 21 November 2009 - 08:25 PM.. |

Last night called Apple, configured an IMAC for a little over $2100, they then transfer me over to finance for the Barclay Financing Visa app. After being on hold for a while, the csr came back with an approval; $2400. Pulled Trans Union, not bad for having 7 paid CO's from 2006 & 2007 on my TU. Also have 8 open Discover credit card w/ no lates. 6 of them are less than 1 year old. UTIL 14%..
|
|
Well I don't think it is worth $2000, but if that's what you like then go for it. You can pretty much match the same hardware components at half the price on other laptops. It's like you're paying (with Discover card) $1000 more for the operating system and the name...
|
|
The Barclay Visa I was approved for 2 days ago, is already reporting on my EX report...
|
|
WOW! What is your TU Fico? you don't have it listed, I just can't believe they approved that high with 7 c/os..
|
|
I applied for the itunes card last year to purchase a new computer. I was approved for $750. Hardly enough to purchase a new Mac. Last month I applied for and was approved for the Amazon.com store card by GE Money and was approved for $1,800 and instead of the 90days same as cash that Juniper offered I instead received 24 months no interest financing. I LOVE my new iMac! I'm going to cancel my itunes card at the two year mark. I just received my first itunes gift card in the mail..
'. Are you kidding? The Apple warranty applies to your Mac regardless of where you purchase it. You can purchase the three year extended warranty any time during the first year as well... |

When I purchased a vehicle last month (November), the dealership pulled my TU report & it showed 677. My FAKO scores or below in my signature..
Here are my other CC's with no lates. Opened 9/08 Chase $3,500. Opened 10/08 Capital One $1,000. Opened 12/08 Fifth Third Secured MC $1,300. Opened 1/09 Macy€™s $300. Opened 1/09 US Bank Secured Visa $5,000. Opened 1/09 Wells Fargo Secured Visa $500. Re-opened 2/09 AMEX Optima/Oasis $1,900. Opened 7/09 Sams Club/GEMB $800. & now. 12/09 Barclay Visa $2,400. I read in other threads that Barclay likes a good track record of rebuilding. That's why I took a chance with them & their recon approval success rate can't be beat (if needed).
