    How long did the cheque take to come after you got the limit increase?


    If I remember it was about 2/3 weeks. It was a good feeling to hold a normal credit card instead of 1 that I had to pay a deposit for.

    Dont forget the reason why they got the cheque was that it was upgraded not just because of the limit increase and was some time ago.

    I suspect that if they were to return the deposit they would need to send a new set of terms and conditions out.

    Typical. I got one of these today but I closed my account the other week with them! I had to close it to apply for another Capital One card!



    How long after closing a Secured card can you apply for another Capital One card?

    I shut my secured card after having it a year then reapplied for a normal capital one card two months after and got a £1500 limit! was pretty impressed with that and the secured card and vanquis has definitely made a big difference over the year i've had them
