Capital One Secured question

[finallyfixingit]

It has been a week since my made my deposit for my secured card. I have not heard from them at all. I have read that some people have received email updates from them. I have not heard anything. Is that normal?

I would call them just to make sure everything is running smoothly.

Yes this is completely normal.

It actually takes about 16 days for them to set you up.

After they will email you that your card is on the way.

and it will take about 5 days then to get your card.

No need to panic.

in fact right now. capital one is very generous. even on the secured. cards.

make sure you are not late on any payments for 6 months. and they will give you nice credit limit increase. so be patient. this is a marathon not a sprint.

You will get an email once they send it..got mine last week. 

Your new credit card was mailed today, and you should receive it within 7 business days.

Thanks for being a Capital One customer.

I got increase 6 months to the day I activated card. Was shocked. As I had already sded the card. Still was a nice gesture from cap 1. Increase in secured. I said wow. 

It's my second oldest card. So I will leave it open. 

And just pay af. It's ok. 29 bucks.

I just got off the phone with them. They said they will be mailing my card tomorrow. They said I should receive the card by Sept 2. They told me that did not do auto cl increases, so for those of you were lucky enough to get one please explain how you used your card.

Thank you

times in a month. At month 6 they have me 500 increase. That was in June.
