Yes, you may be eligible for a Capital One credit limit increase without asking for one. If you constantly use your card responsibly, such as making at least the minimum payment amount on-time each month, Capital One may automatically review your account and offer an increase over time.
If you do not get an increase automatically after this period and you meet the requirements above, you can request an increase online, through the mobile app, or by calling (800) 227-4825. The approval odds should be high.

I been with Capital One for a yr and never missed a payment yet I've still haven't gotten a increase to which I am now going to pay it off. All my other companies have increased me and that's without asking . I never miss a payment with any of my creditors. Ironically I now receiving pre approvals for 2 to 5 thousand limits that's how well I've been doing establishing credit. Yet I thought Capital One would have given me two increases not one to me I shouldn't have to ask especially never missing a payment in a yr. I was told to pay it off and save for emergencies seeing how they don't stand by there agreement which states in 6 months you receive a greater increase as long as your on time.
