wildrage2's review: Callout Comment I just got this card last month with a $1500 limit.


I just got a Credit Steps letter in the mail that promises an increase to $2500 in 4 months, and $3500 in 7 months. Has anyone gotten an offer like this through Capital One with 2 steps?

Is it because I have a Rewards Card?

Capital One is Awesome :-)

Remarks What were your scores at the time of application?

Does the card have a "member since" on it?-Just curious.

Remarks Card does not say 'Member Since.' My EX and TU scores were around 610 and my EQ was around 640.

Remarks My husband just got this card, except his starting CL was $500, then it will go to $1000 by month 4 and then to $1500 by month 7. I wish they had this when I got my cards, but I only got one credit step and one backdoor increase. I have to wait until the six months are up for another increase.

Remarks Never heard of this program. I got mine in April 08. Was started out with 1k, got one step increase to 1500.00 I am now up to 4500$ I have a cash rewards card with them

This must be a new steps program they are starting with select people, or a new program all together.

Anyway, I'm considering asking for an upgrade to the Visa Signature, not sure yet.

Anyway, congrats on your credit line

Sound Like A Good Program! User Icon on 2008-11-15

Remarks Congratulations, I wish all credit cards made it that simple (telling you when you will receive an increase and the terms), that's great. Enjoy your new card!

Remarks Thanks. I think the Platinum card has the member since on it. I was going to call them for a new card so that I could have that, but I have a No Hassle Rewards card-similar to this one so I bet it would be the same.

I Have The No Hassle.... User Icon on 2008-11-16

Remarks And its the same thing. One increase at the 4 month statement and one at the 7 month statement.

Not to bad of an increase, that's why I really like the card.
