But on the mailers, it was probably a timing thing. Same thing happened to me with my AMEX upgrade, upgraded in May.. was still receiving solicitations both by snail mail and email to upgrade after I already had the card in my wallet.
Yep, bet that's it !
I've read 22,000 + post since getting back here, again, in April and sometimes I get to wanting to do the "right thing" and ...all of this...runs together! !
I really only want a total of 3 cards and I'm not sure if the Platinum is the other card I need or want !
I do so appreciate Cap-1 for letting me in with the QS1 at a SL of $2,000.00, it floored me as I've been paying with cash, for yrs !
No way I'm getting on here and bash them, they've been great to me and it seems, many others.
I could take this offer and wait a few more months as I build but I sure hate 3 inq ! Have 3 on TU (1 falls in December ), 1-EQ, 1 on EX. .those all belong to Cap-1 except 1 of the 2 on TU, ( Care Credit =Sync-Bank ).
So yes, I think I'm mixed up, thanks for that !!
Totally agree! I love Cap1 for giving me a chance when the only other one that would was Credit One. I will never say anything bad about them. In fact, one of the cards I plan on getting in the not so far future is the Venture card, then eventually PC it to the Quicksilver VS then roll my current QS balance into it. That is, if all that is possible.

I think you were right in the beginning.
There was a thread this summer about this new 6-month between approvals rule with Capital One, and I was able to find it:
I hope that helps. Looks like it's been in place since about June 1.
I stand corrected! 
I opened my last Cap1 card in Apr...I guess right before they made the switch so I really stopped following any posts on approvals from them. I have just read countless posts about their staunch 6 mo CLI rule.
Sorry OP for not knowing about this change!
I stand corrected! I apologize OP for not knowing about the threads posted on this new rule. I apped for my last Cap1 card back in April before this change in policy and also stopped following the approvals/apps page then so I never saw these posts about 1 card every 6 mo. On the contrary, I've read a gazillion posts about their staunch stance on 1 CLI every 6 mo.
