    Have you actually looked at your credit history? Why do you think it is poor? Apply to Equifax and Experian for your files. Ensure you are on the electoral register, run your Cap1 card well and after a while they will increase the limit. You may find other lenders will offer better deals by then.

    yes i started with their initial visa then after a year i cancelled it, acouple of months later reapplied and they sent me a classic one and after moving around some balances and paying off full in time, i have 2 gold ones! if you have had your cap 1 for a whie and not missed any payments you could always cancell and apply for their premier card in a couple of months
