Wow!! I just paid my Cap1 card down to less than 9% today so I can't wait to see how this will help my score. Great news and congrats!

Re: My SECURED Cap1...

Did it report 60 days from when you received it? My husbands was mailed 2 days ago looming forward to it reporting to get a bump!

Re: My SECURED Cap1...

cw: it took me 60 days as I was searching for it immediately. So for me: 2 early payments and very low utilization!

Re: My SECURED Cap1...

Thanks! I'm assuming when you receive the card the AF is already taken off?

Mine reported as soon as I received my card (that I had a new account - I could tell because my AAoA went down), and then it reported again with my first statement. I got like, 45pt bump. Very nice.
