    What is this oddball Titanium product that I'm carrying? 10k limit, 9.9% fixed, no annual fee. I got it via an invitation....

    Is this a step down from their Platinum?

    Seems like the Cap1 (poor man's) version of the AMEX Centurion...hehehe.

    I don't see it on their credit card "menu" list...

    They have a Titanium and a one more above that, I can't remember the name. I talked to a representative about it. Basically it got the extended warranty and stuff like that.

    How did you know about it?
    Where do we find info on it?

    Oh.. forget it. I'm calling them. They've been hiding a better product from me? (although at 9.9, I'll keep my fixed 8.9 platinum)

    Yep I heard about it cause I wanted a card later down the road that I could use in pricematching, like the Amex Blue used to be like.

    Does anyone know what products cap1 offers that feature automatic car rental insurance? I know some plat cards do, but I received a plat solicitation from them the other day and it didn't mention anything about this.

    Do any of their cards offer this benefit?

    Anyone have a URL to a site that reviews/describes the Cap1 Titanium?

    http://www.creditcardfreedom.com/

    This site doesn't have it...but, it does have a few reviews for AMEX "black"...

    Gee, willy...Titanium must be that good...

    Matt, I believe all platinums do. My husband rents a lot of cars for weekend trips to NYC and they told him if he had any platinum card he would get the rental insurance.

    Can't remember, I am thinking Diamond, but it could be Uranium too?! Hell he could have said he wanted a diamond and urinating instead. NO idea. I was drinking wine when I called.

    So does this mean that the CapOne Titanium is *above* the Platinum? Odd that the app would say "CL up to 10k" then. Don't the Platinum apps usually say CL up to 50 or 100k?
