Sony card from Capital One

[Anonymous]

This is my first post on this forum, although I read them alot. Today I was just approved for a Sony Style Card from Capital One. Apparently Sony has changed it's card from Chase to Capital One. I am a current Capital One cardholder witha $500 credit limit through credit steps. I was pleasantly surprised that they approved me instantly and with a $500 limit. After my first purchase they are giving me a $200 gift card towards anything at the Sony Store! (Might be good for some Christmas present!!!) Anyways, just thought that I would let everone know that they might be approved even with a low credit score and it could be good for rebuilding credit (like I am now)

Current Fico Scores:

Trans 608

Exp 604

Equifax 601

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy discharged Oct 2006

Where did you find the promo for the 200 dollar giftcard? I checked on capital ones website and didnt see it.

I went on a search for it, too and found this:

I applied and approved for 750. I now technically have 3 capital one cards. I really hope I get the 200 gift card otherwise there really was no point to this card.

Interesting. I thought two cap one cards was the limit. I know cap one usually pulls all 3 CRAs, but did they when you applied? Maybe since this a co-branded card ( i believe), cap one allows you to have this card as a third acct with them.

Last time I apped for my second card I had my ex and tu frozen and they only pulled eq and it was an instant approval. This time only my ex is frozen and I wasnt paying another 10 bucks to freeze my tu again so they pulled tu and eq. Ive done some searching before I apped for the second and im not sure what the limit is I've read some people have had 4. I think you can have a few if its a mix between personal and business. One good thing about this card is theres no annual fee, cant say the same for my other 2 cap one cards.

It is co-branded with VISA

There is 0% APR on purchases through September 2011.   (Not Bad)

Congrats! If you don't mind me asking, does your first Cap One card also have a $500 CL? It seems like Cap One likes to match CLs to what you already have with them on other accounts. I could be wrong.

I app'd and was approved for $500 as well. I have 2 Cap Ones already  -- 1 with a $500 and 1 with a $1500.
