• Capital One may increase your credit limit after you make your first 6 monthly payments on time. After the first 6 months, they will review your account periodically to see if you deserve a higher limit. Pay more than the minimum each month, if possible, to boost your chances.
• You can request a credit limit increase yourself by calling customer service at (800) 227-4825. You can also log into your Capital One account. Just choose “Request Credit Line Increase” from the “Services” tab. You’ll have to provide information about your income and employment for Capital One to make their decision.

So, you’ll get $300+ from Capital One Platinum to start. If you use your card responsibly, you’ll provide yourself with opportunities to increase your limit. But it’s best not to ask for an increase before six months of on-time payments, as you’ll probably be denied. If you do request an increase, Capital One may generate a hard inquiry, or “hard pull,” of your credit report. This will cause a slight drop in your credit score. That’s pretty standard.
