Current Events > Did Capital One just randomly increase my available credit

(+) Yeah! (+)

They gave me a extra $50 in available credit even though I only paid $50 for the monthly bill, so thats an extra $100. I still have the same current balance but the available balance is messed up.

maybe, mine went from 3k to 8k

a 50 dollar increase sounds like an error

yeah I tried to get hold of capital one but then they said "We lost our secure connection you have to log in" even though I literally logged in just to talk to them. So maybe they didn't want to talk about it.

But it's not a credit line increase, it's still the same. I'm kinda tempted to buy something for like $5 to see what the next balance would be, but I promised myself not to use these credit cards unless it's something I really really need lol. So I guess I'll just sit on it

so I added another $20 to test it. My available credit increased by $20, it did not decrease by $30 like it should have. Interesting.

They increased mine from $6,000 to $9,000. I wonder if they do that when you pay off your card for so long that they try to entice you to start paying interest on it.
