CONGRATS!!!!!

I had to do a double take, 30k limit on a cap one card??

It seems cap 1 is handing you cli's like hot cakes, keep it up, you are doing something right.


Thanks @SUPERSQUID. Smiley Happy

 

I know, right?  Times have changed from when some of our members got the mega-limits on Capital One cards through consolidating credit lines, but it also appears they are vulnerable to down-sizing if not actually used.  For these days, and excepting those with older "grandfathered" high limits, $30K on a Quicksilver might be stretching the boundaries for many of us, but I have also seen multiple $30K SLs on the Venture X and growth into the $40K+ range several times.  There was also this recent post  about a $75K limit on original Venture!  Smiley Surprised 

 

I'm not sure what changed but as I posted in the links on the three $1K increases I got in 2022, I suspect having a large balance in my 360 Money Market account might have tipped the scales without heavier spending. However, it's only corollary evidence and might be totally unrelated.  I offer the data points so that others can draw their own conclusions.

Yes, "milking it" @CYBERSAM.  Lol.  I do like the SP CLIs on cards like the QS. 

 

I think some members are too quick to add new cards instead of trying to grow their existing limits. 

 

I've thought of closing my Quicksilver over the years (1.5% cash back isn't what it used to be) but these CLIs make a good case to keep it open for utilization padding and flexibility. For example, Capital One is a lender who has regularly offered me good BT offers.  Right now, I have a 0% BT offer for 12 months with a very reasonable 3% BT fee.  That's like getting 3% APR for the duration of the BT!  Smiley Very Happy    They are similar to Discover in offering me consistent BT offers.  They've also offered me APRs below the lowest-advertised rate.  With the economic changes, I'm up to 16.15% but new Quicksilver cards don't go lower than 19.24% currently.   Not too long ago, before the prime rate changed, I was down to 11.90% APR!  (see link with screenshot.)

I like some other things about Capital One as I've posted before, even though they have things I don't like as well.  They have good and dependable mobile app and website interface.  Customer service experiences are prompt and pleasant, and they've had great fraud prevention catching fraudulent transactions before I even noticed them.   And they led the 1.5% cash back revolution as well as the no-minimum-redemption model.  I still have hopes they will revamp the Quicksilver or offer some additional new industry-leading cards.
