At least I'm being completely honest about my situaiton because I could had kept that to myself and painted myself as some sort of "Unicorn" who was blessed by the GOD'S of CREDIT. Once again you deserve a round of applause.
My Fico 8 scores aren’t the best, but not the worst either. But for Cli they don’t seem to be using those. When I read the cli denial letters, the scores are unrecognizable and the CSRs have no idea what scoring model is being used. I don’t know if they are using Fico 8 from when I applied 2 years ago or something like bankcard 5. But the dates on the scores are from this year, a couple months ago, but this year. Yet I don’t recognize these scores. I’m pretty sure I’m in a bad credit bucket though.
@Anonymous It’s not really a secret that Capital One likes people who keep balances on their cards. Am I correct in the understanding that you’re not paying in full? Because that obviously spins an entirely different type of customer profile, one that is profitable for Capital One, and the profitable customers get credit limit increases thrown at them left and right.
Unless you want to enjoy a credit limit of $500to $1000 which is the case which is mentioned in a number of thread I highly suggest you pay in full. F.Y.I. My A.P.R. is 0% for 15 months in which the promotion ends March 2020. Therefore I not lsing anything by maintaining a balance. However, if I had a bucket card such as Quick Silver 1 then carrying a balance would burn my pocket!
That is why my Credit Limit will automatcially get raised to $14,000 to $15,000 by years end while my APR is 0%. However, if you enjoy low credit lines I highly suggest you pay in full every month! Also capital one likes people with certain profiles hence the term "bucket cards". Plus since it's a Visa Signature card it comes with a few extra perks. Last but not least I'm going to add the Capital One Venture card to my wallet and more than likely my credit limit will be $6,000 to $10,000.
Eh, I think you’re overly optimistic about where your limits are going to go in such a short period of time but yes, you can definitely give Capital One hope they’ll earn interest charges off of you if you aren’t paying in full when you have a 0% period. I do agree with you that Capital One is an issuer that doesn’t want you to PIF.
I'm over optimistic because I alreayd know how things will play. Plus I'm not in the same situation as the average. Last but not least you have to take income into consideration. Therefore you're not in a position in which you can project what I'm capable based upon you or someone you know possibly going through a period of slow growth lol!
The proof is in the puddin. From $6,000 to $10,000 in 6 months doesn't seem like the norm. Therefore I can't speak for everyone but I'm going to continue to take my credit profile and limits up a notch once especially since I'm going to add the Venture Card to my profile.

I think you took this thread in a way different direction and for an established member says a lot, THE OP doesn’t need to be told how to play your game, since your BK is not the norm in this situation for obtaining CLI. Enjoy your CLI but really no need for the arrogance especially when the OP asked about their CLI.
