I have a quick question because I am bit confused about Cap1's policy on having a certain number of cards. I am trying to help my grandmother get the Venture card for the 60,000 miles SUB. However, I am hesitant for her to apply because she currently has the Savor One ($11k CL) and the Walmart WEMC ($3.25k). Can she get a third card from them? They seem to like her profile a lot (BK7 in 03/2020) so this may be the only bank that will give her such a good SUB. Thanks!!!!
Profile: Her scores range from 677 to 723, depending on the version. The only debt she has is an auto loan that has a balance of about $9k. Her cards are PIF and she has a very long credit history. The cards she included in her BK show up on her report as well (about 4 cards).
UPDATE: We put her info into the pre-approval page. She was pre-approved for all the Cap1 cards, except for Venture X. She was instantly approved for the Venture for $10k at 20.99%!
I'm curious as well. I have two with them... WalMart, and a QS that was PC'd to from a Platinum card last year.
Applied prequal and am seeing Platinum and QS1. I'd really like to get the Venture card, so was wondering if I got the Platinum, would I be able to PC it to a Venture card in a few months. Just can't get past the notion that CapOne pulls from all three reports.

No, you couldn't.
Issuers cannot legally product change a card less than 12 months old to a different one that has a higher annual fee. Since the Venture has an AF and the Platinum does not, even if you otherwise qualified for such an upgrade they can't perform it until you have held the Platinum for at least a year.
That's what I was wondering. I know my first Platinum card, they did offer me the Venture card (don't think it was the actual Venture, but maybe Venture One, or whatever Venture card has no AF.) But I opted for the QS card instead as the 1.5% made more sense for me than the value of 1 mile.

Yes, as others have said, it's possible to have a third card with Cap1. I do. I have a Quicksilver MC, Quicksilver Visa, and Walmart Rewards MC.
However....
I was playing around on their pre-qual page a while back, and it said I didn't qualify for any additional cards with them, i.e., I was at the max number allowed. Now, I don't know if that meant for *me* specifically, or what, so I'm throwing it out there with a YMMV disclaimer!
