Does Cap1 allow reinstating cards?

The Savor card was just improved and I closed mine yesterday. Can I get it reinstated for the amped rewards?

I doubt it but it never hurts to ask, let us know what happens.

So I contacted Cap1 via Twitter, and they gave me a number to call. After getting a rep, they are processing the request via a manager, and the rep said they feel it could go either way, but she felt positive it would be reopened. I'll keep you updated.

Only bank I know of from postings on here that allow reinstatement is BofA. Recall a user that was able to reinstate their closed account on the condition they do a HP on his credit beforehand. Your DP would be really useful if it gets reinstated.

IIRC, in a variety of cases for Capital One reinstatements, as long as the closure was within 30 days (or less) and the account was in good standing, then it was doable.

Some reported HP while others were reopened with w/o a pull. But, this was when there was more system "flexibility" and CSRs or supervisors that were empowered to do so. Hopefully, the outcome is positive.

According to Doctor of Credit, almost all banks allow it under 30 days. With Capital One and Discover being outliers. And US Bank and Wells Fargo being unknowns.

If you do get it, make certain they restore the old card then grandfather into no A/F, don't let them pull a new card with A/F without SUB. Good luck.

I plan on the grandfathered card. If not, I will recancel the card if they won't waive the fee for the lifetime of the card.
