A year IMO

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?

Who really knows with CapOne. My wife and I both had a secured card with them. She got two CLI within 6 months and 2 days, their money not hers. One week after the 6th month she applied for the rewards card and was instanly approved. Me on the other hand got zip from them. I had the better credit and higher income.

I started out with my secured card last October. I recieved a CLI in April as well as I applied for their cash reqards and was approved. I think it just depends.
