Success!! I called to today after I had paid off Cap One my acct stood like this Start date 09/00 Balance $0 Limit $300 Called retention and let them know why I wanted to cancel after the lady had asked. Said I was getting better offers and I had good credit now, when I got the card I didn't. She offered to move the limit to $1000 and encouraged me to keep the card at least until my year so I get my Annual fee's worth. I agreed and asked about other cards in there lineup w/out annual fee. She told me about the miles one plat card w/only a $19 annual fee. I think I'll go for that one, cause it's rated very good in Consumer Reports. New limit $1000, no credit check. My2kGT
Psst, before your one year date, call back and request that your annual fee be waived and maybe an APR reduction too. If Retention won't do it, write to the Consumer Advocate through <www,planetfeedback.com>. My cards are from 7/00 and 10/00 with no annual fees now. Congrats on the limit increase. That is actually pretty good coming from CapOne.
You don't need the Miles One card. Check this thread: http://consumers.creditnet.com/straighttalk/board/showthread.php?postid=55179 Saar
Yes, thanks for the info guys. But I also want to keep it open for a year then convert to another card. It looks better to have trades open for at least a year. I checked out the Miles One card, for someone who wants airline miles its one of the best out there. My2kgt
