It's highly doubtful but not impossible.  In this situation, you may need to contact the Capital One Executive Office (look for the linky or info in the backdoor number sticky) and see if there's flexibility with the starting limit.  It's been known that for this card, you either get approved for a decent CL or something tiny as $500.  What does your overall profile look like OP?  High utilization?  Lots of new accounts/inquiries?  Something triggered a very low CL approval it seems.

I feel like all the posts for this card are getting toy limits. Are they 3 pulling for this card?

They only pull Equifax for this card.

Nah, there's been some folks that have been approved with decent SLs, but you don't see many Capital One BuyPower approvals - not a card most people really go for given the rewards structure.

I spoke with the EO yesterday. You think that's bad??? I have two cap 1 cards with $1000 & $2000 cl's. I was approved for the GMC card for $300!!!!!! I know right?
Boo!
They are manually reviewing my application for a higher starting limit. Of course I am taking another hard inquiry for this!!!
I'll keep you posted.
