It is not very hard to get a Capital One credit card because Capital One offers cards for people with bad credit, no credit, or better. As long as you meet a Capital One card's requirements and you have a steady income, you should have a chance of being approved.
The easiest credit card to get from Capital One is the Capital One Quicksilver Secured Cash Rewards Credit Card because it is available to applicants with bad credit. Depending on your credit score, you may be able to qualify for other Capital One credit cards, too. For the best Capital One credit cards you are going to need good or excellent credit score.
Minimum Credit Score Recommended for Notable Capital One Credit Cards
- Capital One Quicksilver Secured Cash Rewards Credit Card: bad credit
- Capital One Platinum Credit Card: limited credit
- Capital One Platinum Secured Credit Card: bad credit
- Capital One Quicksilver Cash Rewards Credit Card: good credit
Keep in mind that just because it’s not hard to get some Capital One credit cards, that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily easy to get all of them. You’re also never guaranteed to be approved, even for the cards with the easiest approval requirements.
