    My hubby started with them in 2002 and they offered him the Classic Card at around 34% apr, they have now reduced his limit to under 20% apr.
    So it's getting more of a normal apr rate at least!

    what limit is he on though, still a sub-prime limit or mainstream? :confused:
    :o 2010 - year of the troll :o

    Well I'll be cancelling my Capital One card as soon as I can get a mainstream one. I may try for their low rate one, but I think you have to wait a while inbetween closing an account and opening a new one with the same company. Anyone know how long that is? 6/12mths?

    Its strange, I had one since I was 18 -23, then got rid as wast stuck on £200. Closed it down a year and half later give me £1,000 limit when re-applied?
  • My cap 1 statement says my apr is 30.340% does that mean by the time it's compounded/rounded off it is actually 34%.
