Re: Close Capital One Secured Card?

Is there an AF associated with the secured card?

Re: Close Capital One Secured Card?

Sent you a PM for cap1

Ask them to waive the AF and triple limits on both cards

If they don't have rewards ask them to add them 

Good luck

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Any chance I can ask them to graduate this card instead of closing it out

I don't have any experince with CapOne, but it's only a phone call.  Why not? Nothing ventured - nothing gained.

CapOne doesn't graduate their secured cards. If I were you, I'd pay another AF and keep it until the month before the AF comes up in 2014. You should be fine by then, and its only $30. I'm assuming its not too bad of a bite with as much as you've deposited. I also have a maxed out capone secured card lol.
