i just got off the phone with caapitol one cust service i have their "gold" card with a 300 cl. i have had this card since 10/01. my balance is 127. i asked for a increase and was told that i would not be eligible until 10/02... wtf i have never been late and always paid more that the minimum any one else had this problem or can explain to me why this is
If you have been on time and no over the limit I would imagine Mr. Cooke would at least double it. I just asked them for an increase via C.S. and couldn't get it. The next day I recieved a pre-approved application in the mail fora platinum. I'm not worthy of an increase after 22 months but am worthy of a new card(and fee). I'm calling Cooke Wed.
well i emailed them and asked for a increase to 1k i hope i get it would help my scores i am sure of it
here's a tip: Ask for a $1K Balance transfer at the same time.. They want your BT $$ so they are more likely to give you an increase equal. I just did this and got $1K increase
i just got this today.. I PFB'd Capitol One about my gold card about a week ago. I only had 200.00 limit so i bitched and they increased to 500.00 with same shitty interest rate 18.9%. So i said well that was easy why not send another PFB about upgrading my gold to platinum and 1000.00 cl so i can bt about 700.00 from these other 2 cards and this is the response i got.. does this mean no!!!
