While I'm nowhere near Zync credit worthy, I, too, just opened a Cap One Sony card...really, just to get around the two cap one card rule...Sony is listed as a cobranded card...says "excellent credit" required, but if you read what cap one defines as "excellent credit", I qualify...

With 623, 636, and 624 Fico scores...

I would try ZYNC card if I were you, I got my ZYNC before SONY with a little bit lower scores. It's their easiest card to get.

Eh.  To be perfectly honest, I'm just not all that interested in a charge card right now.

DW and I are still digging out from very high utilization...while I AM very interested in zero percent bt offers, another account to manage without the benefit of being able to carry a balance seems to be more hassle than it would be worth for us...

thanks tho!

Just as a heads up, a couple days after your first statement posts you may get a document online too about a "credit steps" program to increase the credit limit.

I was a bit disappointed in mine, my other cap one credit steps up to $1500, but, this one only goes from $500 to $750. Oh well, I've only been using it for movie rentals on playstation and quick service food since those are 10x points and 3x points respectively. I guess realistically I don't need that large of a credit limit for what I intend to use it for, movies and dunkin donuts. lol

Mostly, I'm interested in the zero percent til March.

According to their application on the web, that card has a starting limit of $300...so I wouldn't go as far as saying that this card is for those with "Excellent Credit" only.

Also of note, CapOne other partner cards (Like Playstation, Orbitz, MTV, etc) have two versions, one for Average credit (basically capped at $3000) and Excellent Credit ($3000 - $20,000). The SonyCard isn't structured as such.

Why not go for a Bank of Americard Cash rewards and get up to 3% cash back, plus a sign up bonus of $50 back after $100 spent...it a we better card and your chances of starting with a reasonable limit are much higher than that of receiving a high limit on the Capital One card. 

Assuming you apply for the Cash Rewards card for "Average Credit" you will have to spend $3.900 just to make up the annual fee. And won't really start receiving cash back until that mark. 

I guess it all depends how much you will run through the card.

Low 600's everyone says typically excellent credit requirement, but my buddy and I got approved the same day we have similar credit profile...not only that it was second Cap One card, glitch in the system and I should consider myself lucky?

I saw this thread and i really wanted a VISA credit card as all of mine are currently mastercard.. So, i just went to capital ones website, found the sony card, apped and to my amazing shock i got the "Congratulations! You're approved!" message! My Credit score is currently 629 and i was given a credit limit of 500.00. needless to say, im a VERY happy camper today! BOOYA!
