    Just went to their website and noticed you cannot apply for anything but their Miles Card or Platinum Card. No link to classic or gold as they used to have.

    I guess I wont expect any more pre-approved offers in the mail. Glad I grabbed them when I did.

    There are also continual rumors of large scale layoffs planned at Cap 1.

    Good. So they still send them out?

    They usually flood my box around sept. in time for Christmas.

    How many can you have?

    CapOne was tight to begin with, but as GEORGE said they are cracking down on the subprime market.

    Not anymore. There's an error message:

    "We apologize for the inconvenience, but our site is currently unavailable while we update our system.

    Please visit our site at a later time to re-apply. We apologize for this inconvenience and we appreciate your patience. Thank you."

    Not sure if this is temporary.

    Very strange. Looks like C1 completely got rid of its subprime products. No student cards either?? I noticed a few weeks back they cut down on the max CL for gold card from 2k to 1k. I don't receive anymore platinum pre-approved offers either, whereas I'd get 1 or 2 a month.
