Inferior Card=Higher Limit? (Capital One)

Anonymous — Fri, 02 Aug 2019 11:05:48 GMT

If you get approved for a higher tier Capital One Card like Quicksilver, Venture, or Savor, you would have been approved and received a higher starting limit for the card directly below (Quicksilver One, Savor One, Venture One) because the qualifications are lower. Is this correct?

Thanks for your input.

While UW is tighter for their higher "credit level" cards, I don't see any reason to believe the SL is determined differently.

My 2 starters Plat/QS and QS1 were both SL's of $2000. After a year. Venture, then QS, and lastly Savor 14 month period they were all approved for 10g's each. There was no 6 month app limit then. But things have changed since 2015-16. Minimun on QS SL was 5g's and Venture/Savor was 10g's average back then. Now QS apps get approved for lower SL's. For the sake of argument. As we say. YMMV.

Yes for your question regarding being approved for the lower tier card but NOT necessarily having a higher SL. Cap1 as most banks do have algorithms that will evaluate your credit profile and income. Those 2 (credit profile + income) will help determine your SL.

It depends on the card.

Platinum and QS1 are very unlikely to be issued in the $10K+ range as these are explicitly meant for less than perfect credit profiles.

The regular QS, SavorOne, and VentureOne are all pretty similar in credit requirements since they all have a $1K minimum SL so would likely each get approved for the same limit. Venture and Savor are top tier cards with the Venture having a $5K minimum SL and the Savor a $2K minimum and thus have higher standards.

Sorry but imo, each card has its own underwriting so basing ones starting limit and approval based off a different card from ssme lender cant be determined 100% nor can we say because i got x on the higher tier card i would have gotten higher on y the lower tier. Every card snd and as pprovsl are ymmv. Kinda like saying i got approved for Walmart i should get approved for Sams. Plenty of people get rejected for a card they thought they were a shoe in becsuse they have or had a higher tier card. Happens with Amex all the time. My thoughts on it

From personal experience, the top tier cards are offered higher limits. Seems like the product really determines limits. When I PC'ed to the Venture and even the Venture One from the QS1 was when I really started to see decent increases from Cap1. I think a lot of people who complain about Cap1 never increasing their limit stick to entry level prodcuts such as their Plat MC when they probably need to do a PC to a higher tier card first....of course YMMV....I was just approved for a Savor One with the bare min of $1k while my other two QS1's started out at $3500 and are now a Venture WMC and a QS WMC with $12k and $6.5k limits.
