From reading the Adverse Action letter, I understand the reason for my application ID: XXXXXXXXX denial. After the T-Mobile data breach, I froze my credit reports but have now removed the freeze. Would you please reprocess my application since all three credit reports are now available.



Thank you for your attention and reconsideration.

I applied and was instantly approved this morning! Just in time to hopefully try out The Club in PIT next week.

No, only 10k but I only have a few years of credit history (although high credit score) so I didn't expect better. I was surprised I was automatically accepted, tbh.

Correct instant approval is very impressive from Chase & C1. Most of the people instantly approved seem to be getting 30K limits.

Thanks
AF posted right after activation. I forget if it was the same day or the day after, but it was immediate. I was already expecting that from what Id read.

For me it actually posted before activation (I still haven't received the physical card) but I've been using the virtual card for purchases.

Does everybody get option for virtual card number? Don't recall seeing such an option for me when I was approved instantly.

I was able to see it in the C1 app when you click on the card and scroll down and you can see "Get a Virtual Card" I was also able to add it to Apple Pay from the app.

Maybe because you were able to add your card to mobile wallet and use a virtual card right away? That would be like activating the card for use. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I dont think everyone gets the option to use the card immediately. I wasnt able to add it to Apple Pay or see a virtual card till I received the physical card.

For reference, I got an immediate approval for $30k. Have 2 other Cap One cards, checking and savings.

Mine were just delivered this afternoon, 3 business days on the nose. My 3 AU cards arrived as well, 1 in my package and the other 2 in a separate package.

Unfortunately, I can't sign up for Priority Pass. I hope I can before my next flight Saturday!

I believe I can transfer all the points on my Venture card over to my Venture X, then I should be okay to cancel the Venture. Am I correct? Any gotchas or things I need to watch out for (like e.g. Citi which expires transferred points after a while if not used).

Thanks

Seems fine to me, although you may want to consider downgrading to VentureOne or Quicksilver instead of canceling, for the sake of credit history.

C1 application process (all cards)

I wasn't planning on adding another premium card (especially given C1s opaque and mysterious approval algorithm), but decided to give them a try. Instant approval 30K.
Credit scores 827/830
16 open accounts/12 active
Only 1/24, but very recent (December)
Utilization <5%
No other C1 cards except one they closed long ago for lack of use, no other C1 accounts
Did not answer any of the optional questions

About to sign up. Thanks for everyone posting. Looks like a decent card.

Neither credit posted through 2 billing cycles closing, and talking with an agent required me to explain multiple times what the credits were that I was seeking. After a long time waiting/holding (total call 45 minutes including maybe 15 mins to make me an account manager), I was told that no manual process can be opened until two FULL billing cycles have passed after the one in which the charge happens. So 3 billing cycles have to close before they'll even initiate a process. She kept telling me that she was sure it would post within this next billing cycle, which in my experience with the way CC credits post, they're either automatic fairly quickly, automatic at statement closure, or require manual intervention. I'm not holding my breath, nor am I excited about wasting another half hour on the phone with them explaining the benefits of the card to a rep.
Numerous posts like this have convinced me that I don't need this card.
