When should I combine my Cap1 cards?

[Anonymous]

One I have since april the other since sept. Should I combine now so I can get another card? Or wait until a year?

Rumor around here has it that they give pretty nice CLIs around the 1 year mark.

I would wait for the yr anny. I combined two cards because I could change categories with them but I regret it because it is now being treated like a new card (no more yr anny for me)!! Drats!!

Why don't you call their backdoor number and talk to an acct. specialist and ask them about combining your cards? Also ask for a cli.

That's what I did, and it worked. They combined 2 cards AND gave me a cli.

I've found them very approachable, knowledgeable and friendly. They will also offer their opinion as to your best course of action, which I found very helpful.

I've have had a 2K for 3.5 year when they rate jacked and rewards didn't suit me

by rate bad reward oldest open card, what to do?

go to the card lab , cooked up 2% cash back on travel and entetainment from restruants to transsit(cabs, buses) even timeshares.

only gave me $500 so I'm calling to combine to give me $2.5K and new rewards ,I hope they just don't screw up and reset my account age

when you combine accounts, you transfer the cl--not this history

so the only thing different about your new account will be the cl

and the old account will show as closed by consumer
