Capital One --steps program credit line increase

I have a Capital One card that's in the steps program. This card started off with a $300 credit limit then after the 5th payment I believe it increased to $500. I only used it for gas and small items. But after reading on the forums about the steps program that the balance will never increase, the card became a drawer card. I haven't used this card in at least 6 months. This morning I logged in to view my balances to make sure nothing fishy was going on and to my surprise the limit was increased to 2k. I think I may need to dust this card off now. Don't know what I did but I like it!!

I also have the Capital One rewards. Is this the same as quick silver? The one I have is on the steps program also. What's PC?

it's close to same I think but the Quicksilver gives you the 1.5% instantly, I believe the rewards gives you the .50% at year end...

PC = Product Change
