So I've been reading forum for several months now and decided to share my experience with capital one here. Around a year ago i started rebuilding my credit. My friend added me as an AU to her amex card and i was approved for VS card via shopping card trick for 250 limit. So in may while checking creditkarma I saw that I had a fair chance for QS1, applied and got approved for a 300 limit, enrolled in credit steps. After that received 3 mail offers in less than 2 weeks to apply for platinum mastercard, which i did ( 500 limit in credit steps). I've been using both cards a lot, running a little over my credit limits every month and making several payments a month. A week ago (haven't even had 3rd statement) decided to try the love button, both cards approved (QS1 for extra 500 and platinum for 1000), took the platinum increase, but not the QS1. Couple of days later thought 'hey, wouldn't it be nice to have some rewards on it too...', so at 11 pm (yes, I'm weird like that) hit the chat with capital one...After telling that I would love to upgrade my platinum card to maybe QS, waiting for couple of minutes and being transfered to chat with supervisor to my surprise I was approved for an upgrade to QS with no AF! Have not received my new card yet, but cashback is already rolling.
So, i just want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone on this forum for the loads of useful information and sharing your success stories!
