I have had this card for years now and have never been a problem customer, in fact, I just paid my balance in full ($1,425) a few weeks ago.

I went to charge a Christmas gift on my card today and it was declined.

This is how I found out that Barclays had lowered my credit limit. 1 week before Christmas – no notice whatsoever.

I spoke with a colleague and she said her account is always paid in full (monthly) and she was declined at the grocery store yesterday using her Frontier Mastercard. She called Barclays and they said the put a hold on her card because they had charged a camera on it the day before (Christmas Gift). She said they have NEVER done that before.

A lot of us here in my office have a Frontier Mastercard and we are now worried that Barclays is not doing well – maybe going bankrupt, given the current economic situation.
