Approved initially at a 647 score for $300 limit. They said if i paid six consectuvie months I would qualify for a higher credit limit of $500. After paying off my balance in full every month for 6 months, they upped my credit limit to a whopping $2,300! Now sitting at a 720 score and have reestablished a healthy credit score.
If you apply through credit karma, credit karma will apply for a different card called the capital one Quicksilver one and you will not get the bonus. I was on the phone with capital one 6 times and they do not want to give me the $150 bonus for spending 500. I am very ****ed at credit karma for this bs it's so bad I will never apply for a card through them. You're better off doing it through the banks website to be sure.

High APR and low credit line.
Have this card for almost 2 years now. Started with $200 CL, 4 months later went to $500 CL and been stuck in that ever since. plus a $39 anual fee. Have never, never, never been late and have always paid over the minimum and paid it off once too. I dont close it because i will hurt my score bad.
I initially applied for the $1000 credit limit used it for almost a year making all payments. No late fees I was bumped up to $2500 A couple months after first applying. I got an email last week saying my card has been suspended. I called and asked why? They said due to an error or my income to debt ratio was off.... ? I was like are they just dropping me because they aren't making any money off of me?? Makes no sense. They gave me the answer twice on the phone "A detailed letter will tell you why" still haven't got that letter. Just baffles me that they would do that. That sounds like something they would do if someone DIDNT pay their credit card back....????
have this card for over a year now, still $500, have paid on time, over the minimum and paid it off a few times. No credit increase. They have that riduculous $39 anual fee on such a small credit line. I dont close it because it will hurm my credit. Ca One Sucks.
Waste of time
Maybe a good card for poor credit individuals but not if you have good or great credit as I do. This was my first CC out of college, I have cards now with 50k 25k and 35k limits. Cap one wouldnt raise me above 5k. Said thats just how they do business regardless of my credit situation. I took my business elsewhere!
Same thing with me. I got this card in 2003. They have slowly raised my limit to a whopping 7300. My other cards have a minimum limit of 10K and up. I only keep it open cause it’s my longest standing card
Best card to start and have
Great card app lets you see what you spend and you can setup if card is use it will send you a text for eveytime it's used. If you pay bill on time increases will happen sometimes you have to ask for increases but they will give you them geat card good services
They only want to get into your wallet
They never honored any if their promotion. Customer is trash at very best. An if you keep a balance and then pay it off they still charge you interest even if you pay it off in full the previous billing cycle. I don't use the card anymore because honestly screw them. Why would I want to make a horrible company that doesn't care about you or standard credit act practices money. Don't get the card or any if their cards. Chase and Citi are so much better choices and earlier to be approved.
yet, i paid it off completely, 2 weeks later there was a charge of interest when i had already paid it off.
Happy they gave me a chance!!
I applied for the cc with ck good approval back in August 2019. My TR 634 and EQ 641. My limit was only $300 but i figured that's ok I'm here to build my credit nothing more nothing less. So after 5 months of on time payments it was to go to $500 by January. Well it went to $2300!!! I was completely shocked. I never leave a balance and i kept my utilization at around 5%. The only issue i have is that when it went to $2300 my TR shot up to 713 and my EQ dropped to 622. I contacted CK via email they don't know why that happened so I'm basically waiting till the end of Feb just to see if it goes back up there shouldn't have been a drop.
What do you mean by upto 713? Are you referring to your credit score? Also, what do you mean by your EQ dropped by 622? Do you mean it went down to 622.
Credit booster
This card is useful for building your credit. Apply if you don't have any credit history or working on gaining points. It was recommended to me by my credit tutor who helped me boost my credit 200 points up in 1 month to qualify for a mortgage I desperately needed. Royalblade @ Protonmail com is his email.
There's NO way your score went up 200 points in one month. 😒
Its a good card, but....
Its a great card, good rewards, my only problem is the high interest rate THAT NEVER GOES DOWN! I would rather get a lower interest rate!
If you're worried about the interest rate, you're playing the (credit card) game wrong.
I have ALMOST PERFECT credit and They still want 25+% Apr...thats crazy. I have WAY better credit card thru bank. No annual fees and 12% interest, which we pay in full each month anyhow.
Use it everyday
Great card got approved when my score was hovering around 600, I started off with a $300 limit and have gotten bumped up to $3300. I've lost it twice and cutomer service was excellent
seriously? never been late always pay over the minimum and have apid it off too, started with $300, 4 months later went to $500 and its been over a year and Im still stuck with such a crappy credit line, not to mention the $39 anual fee which is way too high for such a small credit line. I keep it because it will hurt my score if i close it. Hate CO.
Difficult payment options
This account is very high interest, but you can get 0% or low interest balance transfer. The issue is later, if you still use the card while making payments. There is no way to set up payments to cover Interest Saver payments, so you have to log on each month after your statement is issued to determine how much to pay. Credit card companies do this on purpose to drive you toward using the card and then bury new charges under the balance transfer amount and making it difficult to pay the new charges to avoid interst from accruing, and this card is worse than most for consumers due to this. My card will get paid in full following the balance transfer period and I'll not use the balance transfer service with this card again. Overall limit is good (20k), but from now, this card is a monthly repayment card only, which wasn't the actual reason I acquired it. If the payment options were fixed to allow Interest Saver by default, I'd use it robustly forever.
