Re: YES!!! $2000 CLI from Capital One...Early 'Credit Steps Program!!!'

Wow, that's great! Congrats! 

 

Capital One was the first card I got back in '08 for rebuilding and I still haven't been able to get more than $1000 (up from $500). They upgraded it to Quicksilver, but still wouldn't give me an increase! 

Barclay Visa Fin $1500 | Wal-Mart Discover $2000 | AmEx BCE $3000 | Target $3000 | Slate Visa $4800 | Hyatt Visa $5000

Last App: 3/16/2014 (Current FICO 740 per 4/07/14 Barclay FICO)

Congrats!!

 

I have two cards that were originally credit steps program....one started at $500, I got $250 at 8th or 9th statement because I didn't use the card immediately. The other one (journey visa) started with a $1000, supposed to get $500 increase 7th statement (4/14).  I guess I should be happy that I was able to PC both to Quicksilver cards. We will see

I used it almost up to the limit every month except December. I used the Quicksilver in December so I could reap the benefits of the cashback. Cap 1 just mailed me a credit for $.35 .... I must have overpaid my balance in November  Smiley Happy .

When I did use it to the limit, I paid it off by the statement date so it always reported $0 and they made no money off of me in interest.

Spoken like a true expert.  Congratulations.  I get the feeling that you'll be getting $5000 CLs soon.  Smiley Happy

+1

After reading this and from the response shared with the EO a couple of days ago, there may just be some hope for their GM Card.
