Ummm ... actually, it IS applicable .... which shows how much you know.
Don't know what your experience was, but I also have a best buy card and at least 2 times since "crap 1" took over, I was flat out careless and missed my due date by a day or two. They readily reversed the past due fees, no discussion needed. Of course, I hadn't missed any in the previous five years I had the account.
What's your beef?
Doesn't sound like any beef. Vast majority of people do not have half a mil in the bank.
I clarified my response. Dustink had an issue with best buy under Capital One.

You know..... this may be the reason why they are being a bit more generous with the CLIs. There might be some link here with them buying other lenders out and all...IJS. They went all this time being stingy and then all of a sudden you call the EO and BAM you have a credit line moved from $300 to $2000. Capital One is feeling a little brand new and wanting to compete with the big dogs!

They really have been with the "big dogs" for a while, 6th largest US bank by deposit and 4th largest credit card issuer.
Well it has been about one year and a half since all of this started, and I haven't noticed anything different with how ING operated. I do not really use the account anyway, but Sharebuilder had a nice bonus recently and it was easy to obtain and customer service was helpful. Maybe they will have credit cards for Capital One 360 or Sharebuilder now.

Also, probably not applicable...but during a merger like this. If you have high deposits in both banks, you will lose FDIC insurance. For example, you have $250k deposited with each bank. Before you had $500k in coverage for your $500k deposit, after all is completed you will only have $250k in coverage for your $500k deposit.
They sent an email about this a while back. If you have an account at Capital One USA, N.A. you can have 250000 at both Capital One and Capital One 360. If you have an account at Capital One, N.A. , then you can only have 250000 combined between the two.

Personal opinion alert: The term "Crap 1" might have been funny/mildly amusing the first time. And maybe the second. But less so with each subsequent use.
"Checking and savings deposits made before November 1, 2012 will stay separately insured until 6 months following November 1, 2012 (or, May 1, 2013). Then, your FDIC coverage will be based on your total combined deposits at Capital One, N.A. and Capital One 360 up to the FDIC max of $250,000 per depositor — or $500,000 for joint depositors. For checking and savings deposits made on or after November 1, 2012, your FDIC coverage is already based on the total combined deposits at Capital One, N.A. and Capital One 360 to the FDIC max of $250,000 per depositor — or $500,000 for joint depositors."
Yeah, the FDIC coverage will merge eventually, but you still have a few months before that happens. Just something to keep in mind if you have money in both banks.

It makes it easier to decide whose post to ignore.
I loved my Electric Orange. For me it was the pooh. Even with all the hype about how nothing will be changing except the name, I'm afraid it will begin to smell like pooh instead. Backup plans well underway.
I recently opened up a savings account with Cap One 360 in Mid-May. However, I am interested in Capital One 360 checking. Does anyone know if Capital One 360 pulls all three bureaus like regular Capital One? Or do they pull only one?
