I had a capital one card over ten years ago. So I decided to reapply and lo and behold I was approved. Mind you I applied for the secured card (and yes you can be denied a secured as well) I was suprised when I saw that I had been approved. I am still rebuilding my scores are rising bit by bit and they are exp 620, trans 600 and EQ 650.
Called customer service with my deposit info and I should be getting the card in the next couple of days.

I am surprised you didn't check the pre qualification page to see if they would approve you for a regular cap one card first. I am saying that b/c your scores are fairly decent.

Thanks everyone. @atthelake1 - I didn't want to take the chance I guess so I went for the secured.
@Meya, it is good to be back!

Maybe they'll send you a pre-approval offer down the road for a regular card? I got a pre-approval offer from them back in December and applied, got it with a $1k limit (already $1.5k limit). I had 15 months credit history with scores from 680-712.

I wouldnt mind having a capital one card again, but I had a charge-off with them close to 5 years ago, and I don't want to apply and get denied because of the past charge-off.

Fingers crossed. I had Capital One deny me for a personal credit card due to a chargeoff and BK 8 years ago. Good to know there may be an opportunity for a second chance. On the business side. Capital One gave me two accounts with CL's of $10.6K and $6K CL. So, I know they can be good to the account holder!

IF you already have a secured card with them, is it possible to get a 2nd one?
