Ok,

We all know CAP 1 is tough on CL increases.

I have taken the approach in the past of charging ALOT and paying it off to the point where I charge much more than my CL but pay online so I am never above my CL at any one point. Alas, nothing - no increase.

So now, I just sent them a check for the balance and I am sock drawer-ing the card for 9 months to see what happens.

I just got a Cap 1 card a month ago and was already offered a 500.00 for using it and paying it on time for 3 months.

Does Cap 1 consolidate cards? If so you may try to get another.

I’m about to head over to Korea in the fall. Since Cap 1 doesn’t charge foreign currency fees, I will probably use it for a bulk of my purchases over there.
