A few things -
- You can have up to three cards from Capital One.
- If you have a QS1 ask for a CLI online or call after 90 days of it being open. That was a suggestion from Norman and it worked, my QS1 opened with a $500 CL, it jumped to $2,000 ($1,500) im 90 days.
- You might want to try for a Merrick, I got an offer for opening $700. After seven on-time payments it will jump to $1,400
- Close your Platinum Card if it's paid off and immediately open an unsecured card version of the card
My scores (EX) are in the low 600's because I have 100% utilization across five cards total. I will start paying them off in March and have all $4,004 paid by May.
At that point my scores should be high 600's and I am going to apply for a Venture or Sapphire.
Actually, depending on what order you apply for them, its possible to get as many as seven capital one cards. You just have to do it in a certain order. The Platinum and the QS1 cars have a "two cap one acount limit", so those are the ones you would have to get first. Then the premium cards - Venture, Venture One and Quicksilver all have a five account limit, so you can add thee of those. Then there are the two "specialty branded cards" the GM Buypower card and the Sony card. These two cards do not have any existing account limits, so you can add these last, for a total of seven.
You can't really "try" for a merrick card - they are "invitation only" you cannot cold app for them.
