Be careful of your utilization. High utilization will often get you shot down for new credit.
Anything about 25% and you are starting to look for trouble, though many people on the forum keep theirs as low as 5% or lower.

Submitted my application and was instantly approved with a CL of $7000
Not bad considering capital one wouldn't raise my CL from $750 today
Congrats! And the World version, too.
And btw, unlike many other World cards, this one does report the CL and will help your util.

Excellent as that was really my goal. It's very hard to keep a low utilization with one credit card and a $750 limit haha

I understand this, but at my age (lack of history) and credit score. I can't see getting a $10,000-15,000 CL. $1,500 is almost worthless trying to keep a low utilization. The 63 Ford is my current daily driver, I need a new radiator and brakes. That put me out at 80%.... I am in between jobs, I have an interview today, tomorrow and another on Thursday. I am more then confident one of them will give me a bite.
