There are certainly plenty of other cards available that give 1.5% cash back. So there is no need to stay with a company you personally dislike for whatever reason. Or even no reason.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Cap One is the only lender offering 'Unlimited Cash Back.' With that, I wondered if they were fair to their applicants/potential cardholders with regard to the credit limits they give.

I'm really curious after hearing a multitude of complaints from Capital One QS cardholders with paltry credit limits. Capital One boasts about its 'unlimited cash back' card products. In many cases, an unlimited cash back card with a small CL is less valuable than another lender's product offering a higher credit limit and a cap on cash back. Is it true that Cap One is issuing small credit limits to the vast majority of their cash back accounts. Can any Cap One cardholders weigh in on this? I'd love to know what is really transpiring.

Ewww! Three hard pulls is a bit much for 1 card. Wowzer! I'd only do it if I could app for 3 of their cards at the same time as all inquiries from the same lender in the same day only count as 1 inquiry per each bureau (for most lenders).

Do they triple pull people who already have a cap 1 card as well? The initial triple pull does suck but when starting the credit journey its not a big deal. More annoying later on if you do frequent apps.

I dont' really see it as a triple pull. It's only one on each bureau, so I don't see it as a big deal. Unless you plan on applying for one card from them each day, it's not that bad. I have one frozen and they still approved me for 20,000, so they don't need all three and I'd say a 20,000 limit and $400 is worth more than one bureau being looked at.
