Best decision I ever made.

I applied for my Capital One Secured Credit Card at the advice of Credit Karma. I was instantly approved and put down a $99 deposit for a $200 credit limit. I've used the card regularly and pay it in full every month. 6 months later my limit was automatically increased to $500. I still use it only for items I know I can immediately pay off and not carry over a balance. This has helped build my score up enough that I applied for a card with another company and got instantly approved for a $8K limit. My credit score has increased quite fast in the last 8 months and it's all thanks to my Capital One Secured Card! I can't wait until it graduates to unsecured. I highly recommend this as a way to start up or re-start your credit. Just be responsible with it and it will help you in the long run.

Complete Disaster

I would most definitely not recommend this card I'm not sure what's going on with Capital One they used to allow you to make payments with a debit card but now everything comes out ACH and a completely slows down the process I use my card and paid it off every month but for some reason they would put a 10-day hold on my payment and then claim it was because I made too big of a payment so they would need to verify the funds were in the account but it would clear in my bank account but then they would not give me available credit for 10 days I personally feel it was Capital one's way of holding on to my money and not allowing me to use the card in addition to that after a while they just closed my account said I violated their terms of use but I don't know how using the card and paying your bill every month can be violating the terms of use I would definitely not recommend this card please turn around and run away as fast as you can.
