A year ago, I tried their Pre-Qualification offers and they did not have any offer for me even with 760 FICO score. I did not really want their card! just...

Why don't you get a secured card from Wells Fargo or B of A?

Re: CREDIT ONE Must be insane!!!

I don't need their card at all. The only thing the can do for me is give me an increase on the one I have. I don't even use their card only to pay Myfico, transunion, and experian every month. I tore the card up about 7 months ago.


In my wallet I have:

Sportsman Guide 2000
Capital one Q'S 1350
Capital one secured 750
Capital one Journey 500
Fairwinds credit union 500
Ashely Stewart 250- I have had this card for 10 months no increase yet!
Victoria secret- 250
Shell 200 which I never use
Credit one- open for two years n 100.00 increase for a year SHINE
Jcrew- 650

15% it'll
No baddies all paid in full

There's a reason for those "credit line increases"; don't they also charge a 20% or 25% fee to increase your credit line?  So that to obtain the $500 in credit to use, isn't there a $100 fee that you never receive back?

I was going to garden... Honest!

Re: CREDIT ONE Must be insane!!!

It might just be me I don't think the card is a bad rebuilder at all.  I  was approved for $400 at 17.9% and $35 AF.  Before the first statement cut they gave me an auto CLI of $200  for a total CL of $600.  Now don't wrong even with the 1% back on gas and the free FAKO score I still intend on closing this card prior to the AF hitting again.  Everybody has to start somewhere!
