Re: Capital 1 Third Card is it possible??

I can attest you can have what others have said at 1 time. Started with the rebuilders and worked up to the prime time Cap1 cards.

Re: Capital 1 Third Card is it possible??

I just don't get the fascination with Cap One, during building and rebuilding I get but beyond that? So so rewards on top of triple pull, even their flagship Venture and Savor is only worth keeping for the first year for the SUB before AF hit when you do the math, QS 1.5% is a perfect candidate for sock drawer. If I'm OP I would combine QS1 into QS and PC to Savor One then move on, get some use out of it when restaurant isn't in someone's 5% category.

Re: Capital 1 Third Card is it possible??

Last I checked, you can have 5 normal Cap One cards.

I have 3 and have had as many as 5 at one time.

Check prequal although no prequal does not mean you will not get approved.

YMMV.

Rebuild started in 2014  -  $100k unsecured credit in 2017  -  $500k unsecured credit in 2024.

NO! They are not in the same tier.

I would say that Savor is between Venture and Regular QS.

How much higher is your credit score since your QS1 approval.

YMMV.

What is "Bucketed?😀

In a nutshell, cap1, along with other banks like discover, package up their accounts and assign risk levels. They're called Asset Backed Securities. They then let people invest in them. The higher the risk, the more money an investor can make.  This allows cap1 to get more money for other things, such as handing out credit limits for new and existing cards. Once your account has been packaged and rated, it's very difficult to have that changed. It's why people on this forum recommend applying for a new card once your credit is better and you can get better terms, rather than wasting your time with a "bucketed" account.


Thanks for that info!! so how high does the CL reach on cards that are "Bucketed"?


There's no limit, they just grow slow.

Tricky situation.

Savor has great SUB but you might not qualify.

Can get you Ex up to the others score?

Re: Capital 1 Third Card is it possible??

I think you will fine once your scores are all over 700.

My first Cap One card after BK was SL $3,000.

My most recent card (4 years later) SL was $30,000 @ 13.99%!

Cap One buckets cards but not people.

YMMV.  GL!
