    Might be an additional bucket for people that use their cards regularly. I have the Venture X, SavorOne, and Venture One (downgraded from Venture Rewards). They have always seemed to be happy to let me close cards and open new ones for sign up bonuses as well.

    There is a separate area on the Capital One website to check if you are prequalified for the Venture X card. That card will never appear under the general prequalify page.

    I don’t know how you haven’t gotten approved for the Venture X yet…I mean I’m 21, make 44k a year, paid $300 in rent at the time I got approved bc roommates, and I have a $10k limit on the Venture X. Maybe that predatory approach Capital One supposedly has isn’t all that crazy to believe.

    The key is diversification. Personally, I delegate my investing to an advisor, cos my job doesn't permit the time to perform market analysis myself. Thankfully, my once ago stagnant portfolio has now 5X in barely 4 years, summing up almost 7 figure as of today.

    There is a separate pre approval tool for the venture x. My theory is that all the other cards are part of their bucketing system with investors while the venture x is outside that since it’s a visa infinite with a minimum 10k cl

  • @TheArtistFKApingaso3687
    @TheArtistFKApingaso368733 минут бұрын

    My mother used the pre-approval tool and was offered the VentureOne, Venture, and Venture X to choose from. She was given a $30k limit so it might be that if you are not offered the Venture X they’re already telling you you’re getting a limit under $10k. Just a thought but I found it interesting.

    I have two quicksilver cards, Venture One (previously Savor One), and the Venture X. If you have the Quicksilver, Savor or the Savor One, & Venture X. You can do a Credit Line Transfer from the Quicksilver Card to the other cards & keep the Quicksilver for small monthly bills to transfer the cash back rewards to the other cards or hold it on for a later determined date

    The absolute worst thing about Capital One is that after they pull from 3 credit agencies, they still demand a copy of your state driver’s license and your SS card. They know this will stop a lot of folks dead in their tracks. I will never give them any opportunity to have my life turned upside down since so many places have been hacked.

    I had heard elsewhere that if you freeze your Experian credit report and Capital One is only left with two hard pulls that they would still approve you. I tried it out by applying for the Venture X in April after freezing my Experian report and was approved. I was notified by Experian that they rejected a credit report request from Capital One but still received instant approval for the card.

    1:44 Bank of America warned me to use a card or else it would be closed. It was a few months in advance of the closure date so it wasn't an issue and naturally I had plenty of time to use it. This would have been a 2-year inactivity period, for reference.

    Why would a credit card company have "secret" benefits or options they don't tell their customers about? Makes no sense. If the "secret" can be found on a company's own website, then it isn't a "secret". And guessing about how a particular company's algorithm works also isn't a "secret".
