Re: Capital One Credit Steps Program

They offer this on all their low tier cards. Brought me from 3000 to 3500 and now I'm stuck like everyone else :-)

Re: Capital One Credit Steps Program

My account is only 7 (almost 8) months old, just got my credit steps CLI. I'll probably hit them up at 10 months or a year. They're currently my highest limit. Cap1 has been great to me. I have another offer on my account to upgrade to a venture card which I'm going to take after I get my annual bonus.

Re: Capital One Credit Steps Program

Both of my accounts were 6 months old and i went the EO route both were doubled FYI

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Capital One Credit Steps Program

No i was in "chat now" and they offered to upgrade me to the 2% venture card and let me keep my accounts lifetime AF waiver. So once I get my annual bonus im gonna get that and it will upgrade me to a world mastercard.
And myjourney what was your limit when they doubled? My starting limit was 3k.i doubt cap1 is going to give me a 7k limit as a college student and double me.

Re: Capital One Credit Steps Program

I had the credit step program

 

1 card was CLI after 3 statements the other 5

So if you really look at it on 1 card got a CLI @ 4 & 6 month

the other card @ 5 & 6 month

You have nothing to loose but the attemptSmiley Happy Hope this helps
