Great to help build credit!
I applied for this card with a score of 560 in Feb 2016 and was approved with a minimum deposit of $99. I made a $100 deposit and they gave me a limit of $201. I use this for small purchases here and there (Birchbox subscription, gas, fast food) and paid more than my minimum payment every month, usually I would pay the entire balance. I logged in this evening to pay my balance of $43 and now my credit limit says $501! So in 11 months they upped me $300. More importantly, in 11 months my credit score has gone from a 560 to a 682 and I was approved for a Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards card with a $4,000 limit!

Great card!!!
This is a great card to rebuild your credit. I had great credit for years until going through a divorce and then ultimately filing bankruptcy. 4 months after my bankruptcy discharged this credit card company gave me a 3k limit. I have had no issues with this card and love the flexibility of use. Although, I cannot get cash from it, it was not my intention to use it for that purpose.
This car will open doors!
I started my rebuild after I absolutely wrecked my credit in my younger years…I started to realize that if I wanted to grow my family and get a home I needed to get my credit in check. Not one card I applied to would approve me, except Capital One. I obtained their secured platinum card and my journey began. I paid my balance in full each month and I NEVER let my UTI reach 10%. 5 months later I then obtained the Discover IT Secured (which I had been declined before) and was approved with a deposit of my choice ($300) and gardened for another 3 months. As of today I applied for the Delta Sky Miles American Express and was instantly approved with a $1000 SL. So I should probably share my data points? 1 Auto Loan in current standing, 4 accounts with delinquent payments (none within the past two years), 2 open collections, CK TU: 628 EQ: 636 and wait for it…Experian 605 FICO (Discover Score Card), that AMEX pulls. I couldn’t believe it maybe it was an underwriting glitch so I applied for the AMEX Premier Rewards Gold….Another instant approval. Upon receiving my PRG (that was overnighted) it did not show the fico I was approved on but I am head over heels that I have made it this far and I am honestly ready to pay to get a real FICO at this point as CK had my odds with the Delta as “fiar” and the PRG as “poor”…I’m holding both so…..I hope this helps guys good luck on your credit journey!
Incredible!
I applied for this card 6 months ago thinking there wasn't anyway that I was going to get it, score was around 530. Since then I've been paying double payments early every month. I got a $200 increase last month. I was able to apply and get approved for Capital Ones Quicksilver card and my score today is 616!!! Thank you so much Capital One!!
Amazing!!!❤️❤️❤️
I thought I'd never get a decent credit score. I started out with the capital one secured card with a $99 security deposit. A year later I'm at a $500 limit and they refunded my deposit and it's now unsecured. Amazing card! Ive also had a wellsfargo secured card for the same amount of time, never received an increase and ALWAYS have been on time. Capital one is the way to go!!!! Even have an auto loan through them I literally got approved in seconds and they even give you a paper to better help you negotiate at the dealer it was great!!! I plan on getting a mortgage with them as well. I LOVE CAPITAL ONE!!!!❤️❤️😍😍

Great way to build credit
I applied for this card and got it easily the first time I attempted to get cash from this card and I went on the website to get my PIN I got locked out because my phone number was not linked to my account so then I had to go into the branch that was an even worse experience because their systems were down and I still couldn't get my cash until after going to my own bank and doing a cash advance through them I was told that the only way to get a pin was through the website or VIA mail and I had to wait for it to reset I had since waited for it to reset and when I went in to get a pin again it still wasn't recognizing my phone number something told me to hit the back button and that's when I was given the option to get my pin via email however every code that I was sent a total of four times did not work after a very lengthy phone call on the phone with customer service and not being able to get my PIN when I needed only a fraction of my balance again I opted to close the account because it was too cumbersome to get money that was mine that was so easy for them to take. I was so angry and frustrated. This was supposed to be a help for me. In no was it being abused and the money was going to be deposited back in less than 12 hours. It was supposed to be my emergency stash to help me n my kids and I can't even get a mere 25 percent of a small $200 limit. Not worth it. Website is awful and the worst when you need access to you account to its fullest. ACCOUNT CLOSED IN LESS THAN 30 DAYS OF HAVING
Jesus, it's very hard to read your review with no punctuation. Just a guess, if you applied for a secured card its cause your credit sucks, you cry cause a company that gave you another chance and complain they only gave you $200CL. Then close the account cause it makes you feel good but it does absolutely nothing positive for your credit. You'll be back for another secured card soon.
I have a near 800 fico score.
Really? It's a secured card. Stop whining 🙄
WOW!
This card is great for rebuilding. Applied and got the card in August. My first bill was due on the 12th of September. I just my score today the 20th and I am impressed! My score went up 87 no lie!!! I kept my utilization under 25% and plan to keep it lower than that.
