Just approved-Capital One!!!

[tinroofrusted]

I checked the status, and found out that I am approved...

Anyone know what their limits are?

[edwards2]

tin...I got approved for $1000 and they have already increased it $500....received the card 2 months out of BK.

[tinroofrusted]

Groovy.
That would be just awesome if it came back that high. I would close another account immediately!

This is great though, because I am getting higher and higher limits, and can get rid of those sneaky cards like Orchard and First Premier

Nope.

Congrats, Tin!!

'cause I'm green with envy!!

Congrats Tin, I got one too. Did you get a decent limit?

No idea yet. The card should be in in a few days. If it doesn't have at LEAST $500 on it though, I probably won't bother......

I've been discharged now for a year and a half, and deserve better than just 2-300 for a limit....

Thats for sure. I now have 3 cards with $300 limits, they're pretty much useless.

Now don't say that! You are rebuilding credit, and that's what the lower limit cards are for.

Just a couple more years, and we should start getting the 3-5K cards.... that'll be the day!

[FilingOnMyOwn]

I had better have one sooner than that. All I expect is a card that you can at least use to rent a car or make flight or other reservations while traveling, or a moving van if I want to move. Those are the only things I would really NEED a credit card for. You can't do any of that stuff on a 200-300 card.

How do you check the status on capitol one?

I was unable to find any place where I could check the status of my application for capitol one...is there a web site address or phone number to call?

[FilingOnMyOwn]

I'm sure you can call.

Phone number. It's automated.

Go to capitalone.com, and click their customer service button; it'll give you a list of numbers you can call for just about anything.

Yahooooo. I was approved. Don't know the details as of yet, but they turned me down when I was just discharged so I must be making progress.

I now have a student loan which is current, Hooter's for 1000, Crown Jeweler's which I just paid off and Capitol One. I hope to have a 650+ score across the board in 6 months...that's my goal anyway. Experian might be the only thing that keeps me from reaching that goal.
