What about combining all 3 cap one cards into one huge card? I'm just afraid if I did this, Cap one might reduce the limit. Any insights into combining into a huge limit?

No way to know whether it will happen or not. The only constant I've seen among most that were CLD'd. Was that the majority of the folks reporting it happening to them, are also those that micromanage what reports to the CBs. Mine is still intacted and I don't run massive amounts through it and haven't for over a year now. I do allow my real world balances to report on other cards though. I'm sure I'm in the minority here, as I believe the AZEO technique can also bite you in the rear if used too much.

I'd definitely be concerned about that. Capital One has been reducing limits on cards that have seen low usage ($100 a month or so) over the course of a year. This has happened on cards with limits as low as $16,000.
You still might want to combine your cards into the older of the two Quicksilvers. Or combine the Venture into the $6,500 Quicksilver. Just be aware of the possibility of a CLD if you're not using the card(s) much. Some here have decided to head the CLD hammer off at the pass by calling in and reducing the limit themselves, say maybe to $25,000.

Due to my other cards that have better rewards, I find myself not using the cap one cards at all. I do have $9k parked at 0% for 18 months on the QS with a 15k limit so I’m tempted to combine the $30k Venture into it in order to have a $45k limit card. Good plan?
Given that you're carrying a substantial balance transfer, you should be good to go if you combine. ![]()
Your overall utilization percentage would remain the same. Your individual card utilization would improve, possibly significantly. Your percentage of accounts reporting a non-zero balance would go up slightly, but that's not likely to matter with the number of cards you have. Your account age stats will remain the same as long as the closed Venture stays on your report. That's likely to be "up to 10 years," as the bureaus say. While we've had reports of accounts dropping off early, that's unlikely enough that I wouldn't be concerned about it.

IMHO no. For some bizarre reasons Capital One has targeted for adverse action the larger accounts which came into being as a result of their easy online consolidation program. I had 5 cards, consolidated them into 2, and then Capital One wound up suddenly closing both of them, along with my checking and savings accounts, for reasons unknown.
