Approx 2 weeks after receiving the card, you'll get a letter explaining the steps. On time payments, no overlimit on purchases within the next 90 days, will get you bumped up to probably 500, and then to probably 750$.
Just read the info carefully and follow the guidelines.
Good luck and Congrats!

The way from 500 to 750 is very long... If you have annual fee on it, I would recommend you close this account at the end of the 11th month~ If not, just keep it~

Actually, I got recently approved for my 2nd capone card and the credit steps program has been reduced to 1 step. So, I would imagine your looking at an increase to 500 only by the 7th month.

Congrats! Enjoy your return to credit. I found Capital One would NOT grow my card account beyond the credit steps. I left them but, they may be willing to consider another product when you are established.

Congrats!...the credit steps are easy but like it was mentioned CapOne rarely grows much after that...i have had an acct with them for ten years and after the credit step increases i have not received a credit increase from them. in fact when i called for a credit increase a couple of years ago they pushed me towards applying for a new card with them ... which i did and received a 4K limit (as versus the 1K limit on the older card). i only keep it open because of the age of the account helps my score but i have socked it and moved on to prime cards such as Amex for my primary card needs.
