Weird, I just go approved by Capitol One credit card

I like how some of you refer to them as "Capone". Appropriate!

thanks for the info! just looking for the right offer for rental cars and hotels and such, most of these offers come with big annual fees and monthly maintenance fees.

Ok, some bad news on Cap one card. Got it in the mail and had a $300 limit which was fine, didn't expect miracles. Activated the card yesterday and went to use at my vets for $200 and it was declined even though just before using it, I checked my avail credit and it said $261 which was minus their $39 fee. The rep said there was a fraud alert put on my card and they were sending out paper work to me to verify what I put on the app was correct. Needed my driver license number, copy of bank statement, and pay stub. What do you all think of that BS?

That's weird. We didn't have any problems with ours at all. WTH does your bank statement have to do with anything? That's even weirder.

They want to verify I have a bank account, he said I could black out amount in there.
