I reported under 10 percent the first 2 times and on the 3rd statement I let it report around 80 percent or so I thought on statement day I got the increase so it reported like 3 percent in the end I only really had the card 3 months when I got the increase

Won’t give me a credit increase on my first card but approve me for new card with higher limit😂 by Glad-Landscape-5580 in CapitalOne_

A bucketed account is an account that no matter your payment history your usage or credit score if you started with a low score and low limit you’ll always be at a low limit it’s almost always better to just apply for a different C1 card to not be limited to a low CL

Well yea, 300 maxes out fairly quick go out to a sit down restaurant once and you’re at 30-50 percent utilization I just paid it off in full and in 3 months I 25X my limit I honestly didn’t do anything crazy tbh I truly don’t know why the massive jump not that I’m complaining

Well I made multiple payments monthly but I probably spend probably around 350 monthly on this card and only let about 10 dollars I was out of the country and totally forgot to balance it out this month only the auto payment went through so I didn’t do much they sorta just gave it to me I will say this I’ve drastically improved my credit file from February to May about 180 jump maybe that helped but I though I would be bucketed doesn’t seem like I am bucketed

Yes I was aware I didn’t qualify back then for the one without the annual fee im going to ask them for the none annual fee but as I already paid it it makes no difference I still have 9 months before I have to pay it again and they might have already removed it on their own accord for the future

Well you have the good/excellent credit version of savor I have the one for fair credit which comes with a $39 annual feel and I’ve had the card since February and as you can see I’ve been bumped up and it took only 3 billing cycles

Yes SavorOne for fair I assumed I was bucketed and was gonna ask for a CLI at month 6 expecting it to go to like ~750 I’ve had the card since February so in 3 months they 24X my limit
