I need help with capital one!!!

I applied for capital one QS card in november of last year. At the time my utiliztion and inquires were a lot. I was approved for $300 card which I felt insulted by LOL. My highest CL is 18400 and getting a $300 card?? I didn't understand. Anyway I never actived the cap one card but's its been showing on my credit since november. My question is should I close the card or leave it open? I would like to apply for the venture card at the end of the year and my score is back to the mid 700's and queries will be fallen off by then. Will my chances be affected by the 300 card they issued me earlier? Should I close it now and apply for the venture at the end of the year or leave it open and apply for the venture still at the end of the year?

Re: I need help with capital one!!!

Why the hurry to close it? Sure it's a small limit, but it'll help with your AAoA. Unless of course you already have an extensive credit history, in which case feel free to close. But either way it won't affect your Venture app in any way.

I would at least log into the account online and request a cli. Maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised. Not sure how they'd feel about it having never been used, but it couldn't hurt to find out.
