Cap1 denial, should I ask for a recon? UPDATE: Approved!

Cap One does not recon denied applications. You can always try your luck with the EO, but I'd say the odds are against a successful recon in that format as well. I'd simply reapply at a later time when your all set up with your banking accounts.

Unless there's been a recent change, that's not true.   I successfully reconned my Sony Card denial through the EO.

Well to be fair I didn't say it was impossible just not likely, but of course it's always worth a shot, nothing ventured nothing gained. Congrats on your successful recon, glad it worked out for you.

That answers that, I received a letter today saying I was approved and needed to deposit $49, so I just did that.

Thanks everyone. Looks like if someone is curious about their approval status for the secured card, I found a sort of backdoor in figuring out before the letter arrives.
