UPDATE: Cap 1 Executive Office Recon for Cash Rewards Visa Card !!!! Another success!!!

Ron1 — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 22:52:33 GMT

I applied for Cap 1 Cash Rewards Visa Signature Card a month ago. I didn't get instantly approved. It was denied due to too many inquiries and too many accounts opened. I emailed to Cap 1 EO last week and I got a phone call from them last Monday. They told me they forwarded to credit dept for manual review. Today, I go t another call from them. I wasn't there to answer and they left me a message to call. I called them they told me it was approved for $3K. The card was sent out last week.It is a lot compared to my other cards I have. Hopefully, I will get CLI after six months or a year. They were helpful and friendly. They were called you as soon as next day. I didn't expect from Cap1. I thought they were bad. I was wrong. Anyone got stuck at lower limit and you should email them for help instead of normal customer service.

Ron.

Congrats! I too have been successful with cap one eo.... They granted me credit increases on my two cards last October and December....I contacted them again last week to change my platinum to venture and it was approved.. 2 miles per dollar.... And also increased my limits again, from 1250 to 2k and 1500 to 3k . And hopefully waive my AF... Wanted the cards to reach at least 5k but its only been 3 months from the last increase so its ok.. Ill ask again before Christmas .. Hopefully the eo would still be handing them out...

Congrats on the approval!

I dont get how you got denied in the first place though. I got a 3k cash rewards card with no AF without any issue, and i know your reports are a lot better looking than mine.

Thanks!!!! It might be the number of inquiries and balances lowering the scores. Penfed pulled twice on my EQ and once on my TU. It might be the hoilday and paid the tuition bill for my brother. It might drive up the total balances. I also have a few new accounts opened and closed recently. It might lower the score. $3K is better than denial. I'm looking for CLI after six months by calling Cap1 EO again. Their service is awesome!!!!

First, congrats! Second, this is actually a huge data point. Have you confirmed they did not pull again?

Congrats! You are correct. The NEW CAP ONE has improved customer service. I second your opinion on how nice, polite, and timely they respond to their customers. They have been VERY good to me as well.

I pulled triple credit report from MPM and I didn't see any pull from them. They told me it was approved on Friday. I think they used the old report to make a decision.

They tried to change old Crap1 image into New Cap One. They outsourced the frontline CSR to India and they could get nowhere. I don't know why they were there.

I just logged into the website to pay my another Cap1 card bill and it didn't see new approved Cap1 Rewards Visa account showing up online. Do i need to activate the card and tie it to the online?

CONGRATS Ron!!!!

You need to link it manually when you get the card.

A related question...for all of you who are contacting the Capital One EO for credit limit increases, are they pulling your credit report or is it a soft pull?

I know you said they didn't pull yours Ron, but you just applied...so curious for us current holders just looking for a CLI!
