    Welcome to the forums billocala and congrats on your new card.

    If you don’t mind me asking, what credit line were you approved for with Capital One?

    Actually i don’t remember – but i sent in an additional deposit over and above the ($49?) they requested. Once I get the card I suppose will know the results and I will post what I find out.

    The card came today (pretty slowly actually). My credit isn’t horrible, just thin (mid 600′s), but I only got a $401 credit limit. Sending them $300 at first was a mistake. They screwed me a bit in the math. I can advise everyone now that you should initially only send the minimum amount the ask for. THEN send in additional money if you want a higher limit.

    I forgot to update – I got the somewhat automatic 6 month extra $100 additional credit line a few weeks ago.

    I use the card as my primary daily expense card and I pay it pretty much off on the web site every few days.

    Congrats Bill! I remember getting the $100 credit line increase a while back as well. I was surprised to find out later that not everybody gets it. I think it has to do with how much you use your card. It was my only card back then so I used it frequently.

    I have another card with cash rewards now and don’t use my Capital One anymore (just once every couple of months or so to keep it active). I haven’t received any other line increases since then, but I sent an extra deposit a few days ago. I want to show a couple of years of good payment history and a decent credit line for this card before I close it next year. I just don’t see the point of keeping it anymore.
