I actually have prime cards, with chase, citi, bofa, WF an even an Amex. The thing was the Capone has the lowest Cl compare to the rest so i just wanted to see if it was a good idea to bump up it's limit on my own since i don't expect Capone to do it or i i should just close it completely.
If I were you , I would not worry about a limit on Cap1 for a second , and close it in a heartbeat , forget about putting your cash in it.

Raising the limit to the Capital One would've helped if you did it before applying for prime cards. First prime card would've given you $4000-6000 and second would probably try to match that.

There is no point in keeping the card as you no longer need it to build credit. I would close it.

You could increase your deposit to the maximum of $3000 then close it to have the $3000 report to the CBs. Capital One is pretty quick at returning the deposit so if you could spare the money for a month....

Better plan on 3 months for money tied up. They say 60 days and for me it took a little longer. Probably not worth the trouble, IMO.
