The Quicksilver Visa has tierd APR, 13.24%, 18.24%, and 23.24%.
The good thing about the Quicksilver Visa, when your credit line gets to $5,000 or more you can request the Visa Signature and you can probably request a reduction in APR.
My sister was just approved for the Quicksilver One with a 500 limit.

When I got my preapproved Quicksilver card in March 2015 the starting limit was $300. It was raised to $800 after 5 months and $4300 after 11 months.
Wow???? A Quicksilver????
I spoke with a friend who works for CO and he said that QS's that get approved at $1-5K will be VISA and and QS1's that get approved will be MC with the ability to upgrade to WMC if CL, spending patterns and profitability justify it.
I'm curious is there a real pattern and it is tracking from us as the QS and the QS One which are totally different beast. Like my QS started off as a Platinum. I PCd it to a few months ago like February to the QS in chat. The current APR on it is 23.15% and current limit is $1800. Under the Platinum it was under Credit Steps and started off at $300 then went to $800 about 3 months in and then Credit Steps took it to $1300 then last 6 month increase in April took it to $1800.
Even when it went to a regular QS not the QS One there was no $3k for me lol is my point (but I sure would love one being I'm past the new $1k limit implementation)

This historically hasn't been most folk's experience with Capital One... usually any APR reduction is only temporary (which is still better than nothing). I've read a couple of threads about someone getting a reduction using the EO, but those cases seemed to be exceptional.
As for Signature/World upgrades, I've never seen a Signature/World upgrade without a PC or a convoluted EO experience. I'm not saying it's 'impossible', just that I've never read about it on here.
Perhaps this is changing, though?
