No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I didn't think it would work, but somehow it did. I kept reading about how countless others had e-mailed the execs office about rewards and credit limits and well, I guess the success didn't end with me (for a change). I am so happy about this and kinda makes me wish I had asked for more. So the story is this:
I e-mailed the CEO of Capital One on Sunday evening. In the e-mail, I literally stated how Capital One had helped me build my credit. I had their secured card which I had closed in Mid-December before the annual fee hit. I mentioned in the e-mail how Chase has taken much better care of me than them. Monday afternoon, I get a call from a really nice male rep. He literally asks me what they can do to rectify my dissatisfaction. At this point, I only have the MTV Rewards Visa card left and sitting at a $750 credit limit (originally $500 when opened in June 2011). I told him that I wanted some serious rewards. I told him the 5000 points I had to rack up for $25 pales in comparison to the 2000 for $20 from Chase. He offered me the 1% cash back and 50% bonus. I took the offer. He asked me if I needed anything else and I said a credit limit increase. He asked how much and since I didn't want to be greedy, I said $2000 (less than half of my Chase Freedom). He asked if a counter-offer was okay if I didn't get the full amount and I said yes.
Long story short, I login into my Cap1 account today and I see the new shiny 2K limit. The rewards haven't appeared yet though. Still, I am stoked about finally getting something out of them. Makes me want to app. for at least one more card with them in the future. However, that won't happen until I have the Amex BCP under my belt. ^_^
Congrats!
I'm still waiting to hear back from Cap1. I also spoke with them on monday.. nothing yet in my acct though

Haha, it seems like we each have something the other wants. You want Cap1 to get a move on and I want Amex to get a move on (I see you have an actual Amex Revolver). I have the Zync with a hard limit. I app'ed for the BCP and got declined because of that Zync. I spoke with their execs office and a lady promised to get back with me on Tuesday. Here we are end of the day Wednesday and nothing.
can you pm me the contact info you used?

Done and done!
Actually same here...
Would it be possible for you to PM the info you used. I have an email for the CEO but want to make sure I hit where others have had their success.
Thanks Congrats on the win.
Congrats anther success story on the books!
I wonder if you would mind pm'ing me the email address as well. I sent one out several days ago and haven't heard a thing from them. I think I used the correct email address, but I'd like to be sure. Thanks, and congrats on your success with Cap1.
