Capital One if existing customer

My hubby has been with Cap One for 8 years, he started on the Classic account at 34%apr. They have gradually reduced his apr and was down to 20% this has now gone up to 27%. So he thought he could apply for a better rate card with them, but if you're an existing customer you can't:confused:
Do a lot of cc companies have this policy?
I pay his bills for him and find their online account servicing very good, also a couple of month's ago, I totally forgot to pay his bill:o

He contacted them and they removed the £12 late payment fee, so he'd prefer to stay with them. He's not too keen on Aqua though and wants to get rid!

    You can negotiate a lower rate with some lenders (particularly if your balance is zero.) Capital One is not one of them, IME. Follow-on offers are strictly by invitation only.

    The only foolproof way to keep standard interest rates down is to ditch and switch credit cards as necessary ;)
    People who don't know their rights, don't actually have those rights.
