I applied for a CLI with Cap One. They assured me a soft inquiry by doing it online. But I got that message a lot of us get "we'll mail you in 7-10 days." How many have gotten that message and still got approved? Just trying to weigh my chances.....
Every app I've done has been a wait, if it makes you feel better.

More than likely that's a decline decision. Wait until the document/letter posts online and you can review the reasons.
Was this throught the frontline CSRs? (number on back of card?)
I got the same response and my letter stated they are not doing CLI during the transtion period, used to be HSBC. I did chat and ask was that a hard pull for them to tell me that crap in a letter and they assured me is was a soft. I have not checked my credit reports as of yet so I guess I will see later on.
I did it online. Should I have done it with a CSR by phone? I heard that Cap One is the MOST CONSERVATIVE lender in the world and that hardly anyone gets a CLI.
to add, in your document center online, the doc should post much earlier than 7-10 days, and will say what your score was and the report date. My CLI from a $300 limit was declined, and showed a credit score date of 6/25/13, even though I submitted on 8/14/13, must have been the last soft pull they had. My score went up a ton since 6/25 as my utilzation went from very high to less than 5%.
Didn't bother with a recon though, as I was approved for better cards, and had an AF so cancelled. Good luck.
I got the 7-10 day message, spoke to a rep online who said I wouldn't get reviewed for an increase till October (this was 9 days ago). Then went online this morning to make a payment and got a $1,000 increase - definitely pleasant surprise and not what I was expecting, after being told "no, wait." +1 for Cap One, I actually don't hate them at this moment
Ok this is great guys. That gives me hope that it might happen.....
Right now my limit is 20K (business card). Guess I'll know next week.....
Mine was Declined. "You are not eligible at this time" SOOOO why let me Request it!!!!????
