@pinkandgrey   Sounds to me as if you've already talked yourself into it 

 

Good luck! 


I haven’t though lol. Part of me wants you all to say “go for it” and part of me wants you to talk me out of it. I have a lot of inqs.... HELP


I just checked, I cant even get a platinum with my inq and new accounts 

How many inq and accounts are we talking about here? 


New accounts would be 1 in the last 6 months and many in the last 5 lol Inqs probably at least 5 across all bureaus more for EX. That’s why it’s strange that suddenly I prequal...


It's a trick!Smiley Tongue  Do they make money on inquiries (triple pull)? lol!!!!

I see you have a few C1 cards. Care to share your experience? If you’re gonna push someone off a cliff, at least let her know what might be at the bottom lol

Although they get poo-poo'ed a lot, I am very thankful to Cap One for being the first with decent limits to take a chance on my post-BK7 self. They approved me for a $3k Platinum (now my $8.8k Quicksilver) the day of my discharge, 3/17. Six months later, another $3k Platinum (now my $5.8k Savor with grandfathered no-AF) approval, 9/17. Nearly a year ago in 5/18, they approved me for a car loan up to $40k at 6%. In 12/18, they approved me for a $15k Venture.

 

Never had any serious problems with them. Their cashback is super simple and their website and app are both top-notch IMO. If I were you, I'd go for the regular SAVOR and get the extra cashback the first year, and then product change to the SAVOR ONE when it comes AF time. You can then use that purdy metal Savor card as a Christmas tree ornament, in all its shiny glory!  Smiley Wink

I agree about their app and site. Sure, they like to bucket people, but Cap One is actually a good company. *strokes chin pensively* This is hard...

Go for it. I’ll be getting the Savor One myself if I need a 15 month 0% card, the $150 SUB is much easier to get than the Savor since the Savor doesn’t have an intro APR, and the categories are decent.

I have all my reports frozen and I don’t know which one they SP for them. I get prequal for Plat and QS1 with them frozen but I am not looking to get any new cards until Ryzen 3000 and Navi drop 2H this year and I will be losing a repo and my last lates on EQ and EX in July (I’m going to ask for EE next month with EX for the repo) so I should be around 680-700 on all three bureaus.
