QuicksilverOne vs. Classic Platinum -- HELP

[dallasareaguy]

So this has baffled me for awhile now...

Capital One offers two cards for "average credit" ... What I can't figure out is this... there is really NO REASON in the world to ever apply for the Classic Platinum if the QuickSilver One gives cash back.. the APR diff is negligible and they both have the same fee.

So my real question is this... is there ANY higher chance of a person getting approved for the Classic Platinum over the QS1? I ask because after one year of having the secured platinum Cap One gave me a QS1... and we are trying to work towards the same process for my wife... she is only at 7 months with secured... she wants to try for whichever card she is more likely to get approved.

I was always under the impression that the classic was easier to get. You can add 1.5% rewards to the classic with a simple online chat the first day you log into your account which makes them the same unless I'm missing something?

I was approved  for both cards the same day. I didn't know I could add rewards to my platinum card though. That's cool! How do I send a chat?
