Re: Cap One still a joke!

People are reporting higher CLI's thru LUV button vs the standard 500 dollars or flat out decline.

Since I could care less if I keep the card or not, today I decided to make an experiment, when asking for my online soft CLI I put my income as $1million. Guess what? Didn't make a difference, was offered the same pathetic $500.


It looks like the luv button is capped at $500. The only route that seems to work consistently is emailing the EO. The best of luck to you.


Maybe historically, but two weeks ago the button gave me a $5,000 increase from 2K to 7K. EQ FICO at the time was between 683-689.

And contrary to what everyone has said, they have been nothing but helpful to me. I honestly like CapitalOne.

 

Yeah they get a bad wrap, but their venture card is 2x miles on everything, with a reasonable 59 dollar annual fee. Compare that to AmEx's 95 bucks just for a non revolver, or even Barcays Arrival 2x miles for 89 dollars.


Ditto


ditto...absolutely no complaints here either Smiley Happy

Also, are you guys even using your Cap 1 cards? 1-2 swipes a month won't cut it for getting an online CLI, ever. I got repeatedly declined for a CLI in Feb until I ran 5 or so swipes through of maybe $3 each.

So you ran 15 bucks thru in February and got a 5k increase?

Yes. Looking at my statement it was actually $23.

 

I've had this card almost 5 years but would only spend $100 every few months on it (at best).
