No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Interesting. Doesn't start reporting until after the credit steps kicks in, so 6 months basically. Miss a payment in the first 5 months and it automatically closes.
I wondered if it was the replacement for the secured card, but I still see that on their list but didn't see this rebuilder. Where did you find it?
Looks great for those that have no other options.
This isn't a bad deal at all, bowever it doesn't mention about future CLI's after the programs completion. If this thread is still going I would love to hear about someone who completed the programs and whether they could get another increase after ccompletion.
I annouced this last week sometime and many thought I was nuts because they couldnt find it.

I think I saw that post. I still couldn't find the card on Cap1's website, only through his link. I'm wondering if the days of their secured card are coming to an end.
We were talking about this program a couple days ago

There were a few people that announced approvals for this card in that thread so hopefully there'll be some more data in a few months when they start graduating from this program.
It's worth noting that if you already carry a Capital One card you are not eligible for this program. So keep that in mind.
I love that you get an increase after the 5 monthly payments to $500. It's a $100 unsecured line that isn't replacing the secured card (I'm assuming from the way the rep was talking) . The rep on the phone couldn't find it on the siteeither when I was talking to him about it :/ but, at least he knew the program that I was talking about.

Has anyone applied yet? If so what were your scores like? If you dont mind me asking. I'd like to apply for this but i'm scared of a denial and then a waste of a hard pull or is this even a hard pull?

A friend recently applied, yes. She was approved with an EQ score that's sub 500.
