Capital One Spark $1000/$10000
Hi, quick question. A cursory search on the web shows that you can get capital one bonus again IF you are approved.
I see far below on the application page "existing and previous spark cardholders may not be eligible for this one-time bonus"
Is this like a once a lifetime offer like AMEX or is it being enforced at all?
I've closed out my capital one spark last year in January, so it's been over a year since I've had this product.

Does anyone know if Capital One reviews spending on the Spark business card to see if the charges are or seem to be business-related? I do have a small internet business but the majority of my planned spending ($10,000 in 3 months to get a $1,000 bonus) would be on things like restaurants, stores, gas, etc.

they closed my acct (Spark BIz) w/o warning after doing 13k in Simon Malls online within 3 months.. Lucky I redeemed my 2% but was cheated out of 276.00. A letter arrived a week later stating that I was using the card in a way that is not consistent with spending

Has anyone else had to provide proof of business address for your capital one spark cash card app? They asked me to fax it in but my girlfriend threw away the part of the letter that says what is acceptable proof. CSR said they can't say over the phone but will mail a new letter which takes 10 days. Unfortunately I only have 4 more days until the app document request deadline hits. Can anyone who's been through please post what they accept for proof of business address?
Thanks!
Thanks!

and where do folks here plan on the spending to meet 500.00 or more bonus? See my above post. They monitor every dime spent. It took them a few months (last 18 months ago) to track my GCM spend. So claim your rewards fast!! And buy in places that cant be tracked by them. After dealing with all the fraud Alerts..you should be good. I left that 300.00 there for a few weeks and then the Stuff happened.

There is a variant of this offer: $2,500 for $50,000 spend in six months. (Awarded in two parts: $1,000 for $10,000 in three months, additional $1,500 if the $50,000 threshold is met in first six months.)

good luck holding on to the card for 6 months.. And where and how do plan on spending the 50k in 6 months?? Grocery stores VGC? they will close the acct w/o warning for "spending not consistent with the biz card". And you lose the points. See my posts above. They are nor Amex or Chase...And dealing with all the fraud alerts is a real pain and time waster.

Where do I find this offer? (+ moving credit limits?)
Also wanted to ask - I have 2 Capital One Spark 2% cashback cards - I want to move the $20k limit from Spark 2 (newer) to the older Spark 1 which only has $10k limit. However... when I called in to do this, the phone rep was confused and said you can only combine 2 cards online, into 1 card... however this would close one, no? Hoping I can keep both open, and convert Spark Card #2 to a fee free card (1.5% cashback card with $0 annual fee).
Any input?
