CapitalOne Question

Hi guys, just a quick question. I received a letter from Cap1 saying they will increase my limit on the 30th of July. Today I applied for a Cap1 Platinum for the 0% BT until January.

They accepted me but I think my file still sucks because they offered me a £200 limit which is nowhere near enough to do what I plan to do. Will this effect my increase next month?

Many thanks.
Littlewoods £0/£750
Barclaycard £0/£1,000 @ 0% Nov '18

Goal: To be debt free by Oct' 31st 2016.

Now debt free!!!

    Personally I think the words "affect" and "effect" should just be taken out of the dictionary and one new word created in its place, since almost no one on this forum knows how to use the existing two words correctly.

    So this means you'll have two Cap1 cards? Some providers (MBNA, Amex do) allow a transfer of the credit limit between cards, so you could try that?

    I didn't think CapOne allowed more than one card at a time - you live and learn, as they say..

    I may apply for a second one but that may effect :rotfl: my credit rating.
    Never argue with an idiot. Especially not this idiot because I'm always right anyway.
