2 Capital One Cards, 2 Credit Limit Increases in 10 mins

So these were my first unsecured credit cards.

 

Capital One Platinum and Capital One QS1, both originally $300 credit limits.

 

Today I decided to hit the luv button, and got $500 increase on BOTH.

So now QS1 is $800 and $800 for Platinum as well.

 

Cards are only 4 months old, and under credit steps, will this effect that increase?

First of all, Congratulations on the CLIs ! Capital One is good in that way..they reward responsible spending and also timely payments.

 

I'm assuming you are asking a question as to whether the CLI will result in Credit Score increase. It's hard to tell without knowing other factors like - utilization, Average Age, other cards (secured, may be) and your history...it's hard to say how much of a score increase you might get.

Congrats!

 

You should still get the credit steps increase according to what they said on the credits steps letter.

I think OP was referring to the Credit Steps program Cap1 has for rebuilders...

 

I had the same question about getting a boost from $1k to $3k at 91 days and various people have said that the mid-term CLI will not affect your credit steps bump. Goodluck!

You will still get the credit steps increase once the 6th statement cuts. Congrats!
