capital one backdoor number no longer works

maybe the capital one marketing team/employees are all over this myfico forum or something because the backdoor number seems to not have the same effect and give results like it used to. the only difference now is that when called the backdoor number the people are much more polite, speak clearly, etc. and you do not have to wait as long as you do sometimes when u call 955-7070 or 903-3637.
 
has anyone else noticed this? the backdoor number is no longer a secret weapon!

Re: capital one backdoor number no longer works

which backdoor # are you using?  9939 worked great for me on 6/30.  got a cap 1 @ end of april.  6/30 called and got a CLI doubling my CL.  no hassles/took just a few mins.

I you could get the same thing by calling automated CLI , just to be clear the Reps have no Power, another reason why cap1 sucks, at least WAMU doesn't make call to get the CLI your due, that is the difference in between the two in regards to CLIs

It has nothing to with the number.  It is their (*#& "credit deciding computer"!!!
 
I haven't gotten a CLI from them in months.  But I know that it is due to the fact that I am not giving them much business in using both of my Visas that I have with them.

So 800-889-9939 is the best CAP 1 backdoor number to call? Gonna try for an increase Monday.

I just tried calling this number today and in less than 1 minute the supervisor gave me an additional 500 credit limit increase on top of the 250 they promised me with the credit steps.

 

woohoo!

TVH-How long have you had your Cap 1 card? Did they do a soft pull to grant the CLI or just payment history?
