hello today I'm going to talk about the
[2]
Capital One platinum credit card this is
[5]
the credit card that helped me rebuild
[6]
my credit if you have bad credit or fair
[10]
credit and you're looking to increase
[11]
your credit score and you want to know
[13]
how Capital One can help you stick
[15]
around
[19]
[Music]
[27]
Capital One is a great credit card to
[29]
work with because they offer credit
[32]
products for people who don't have the
[34]
best credit and they give them the
[36]
opportunity to build a relationship with
[39]
them early on I got a lot of perks that
[43]
I couldn't even believe and I fully
[46]
appreciated such as being upgraded to
[49]
Quicksilver and I like the fact that if
[52]
I travel I don't have to pay for our
[54]
transaction fees these are a lot of
[56]
great features that people that had that
[61]
have fair credit or bad credit don't
[65]
really expect to see so I fully
[68]
recommend Capital One as a credit card
[71]
company to have for your first credit
[74]
card there are a lot of benefits to
[79]
being a capital one card holder here is
[82]
a simple breakdown of some of the key
[84]
features that you will enjoy just by
[87]
being a card holder of Capital One but
[92]
wait there's even more benefits that
[95]
Capital One offers its customers the
[99]
great thing about having any Capital One
[102]
credit card is that they provide you
[105]
free credit monitoring with the service
[107]
called credit wise I use this early on
[110]
and I found this invaluable because I
[113]
was able to see my credit score and how
[116]
it was improving as I was making my
[118]
payments on time and it gave me a good
[120]
indication of where I was at now at that
[124]
time I only have one credit card and I
[127]
didn't want to apply for a second credit
[129]
card until my credit score increased and
[132]
in the past you really didn't worked
[134]
able to do that so without paying for a
[138]
service but with Capital One they give
[140]
this to you for free and I did that I
[143]
monitored it and I found that after 6
[146]
months 7 months I had a credit score a
[149]
little bit higher and that I would be in
[152]
a position to apply for another
[154]
cart with the no annual fee with having
[157]
a high likelihood of being approved I
[162]
highly recommend taking the time to sign
[165]
up for credit wise a lot of us live in
[169]
border states so we either travel to
[172]
Canada or Mexico on a semi-regular basis
[175]
so with this card you can go over and
[179]
eat at a restaurant do some shopping and
[182]
you can make purchases in foreign
[185]
currencies and not be charged any fees
[187]
there are very few credit cards
[190]
especially in the level with people who
[193]
have bad credit scores or fair credit
[195]
scores that offer this you can make your
[198]
purchases on your Capital One credit
[200]
card and you will not be charged for our
[203]
transaction fees no Capital One credit
[205]
card charges for our transaction fees
[208]
you don't even have to think about it
[210]
just use it but wait Capital One offers
[216]
its customers even more travel benefits
[219]
i'm credit fast comm i posted a review
[222]
article on the capital 1 platinum credit
[225]
card i list pros and cons of having this
[229]
credit card it goes into further detail
[231]
that I might not get into in this video
[234]
if you're interested in reading it just
[236]
wait till the end of the video and there
[238]
will be a card at the end that you can
[240]
click on and it will take you directly
[242]
there I just want everyone to know that
[246]
if they have simple questions about
[249]
credit they can leave their questions
[251]
below any of my videos and I will try to
[254]
do my best to try to answer them or you
[257]
can go to credit fast comm if there's an
[259]
article that you've read and you had
[262]
further questions just leave a question
[264]
I'll do my like I said I'll do my best
[266]
to answer them I received a letter in
[270]
the mail one day offering me this credit
[273]
card and I didn't I couldn't even
[276]
believe that it could possibly be true
[278]
because I had bad credit due to a
[279]
foreclosure so I couldn't possibly see
[284]
how I could get this credit card offers
[286]
so
[288]
just out of curiosity I had nothing to
[290]
lose I accepted their offer I went
[293]
online and amazingly they approved me it
[297]
was only for $300 but I was amazed that
[301]
that happened the Capital One platinum
[305]
credit card is geared more for people
[308]
with fair credit some people like me got
[310]
lucky and were able to get approved for
[312]
it with bad credit but sometimes you
[315]
might want to take a more honest
[317]
assessment that if you really have bad
[320]
credit such as you're just done with a
[323]
bankruptcy you probably will not get
[326]
approved for the platinum credit card
[328]
from Capital One and you might need to
[331]
look at their secured option which isn't
[333]
that bad of an option because they do
[337]
offer a fair credit line you can secure
[341]
a credit line for $200 to get a 200
[345]
dollar line of credit sometimes they'll
[347]
only ask for $100 deposit or even a $50
[350]
deposit credit card to consider if you
[353]
have very bad credit is the open-skies
[356]
secured credit card I just did a review
[360]
on that credit card last week I will
[362]
link that video in the card at the end
[366]
of this video because there are so many
[368]
circumstances that are required to get
[371]
approved for a credit card you may not
[373]
get approved for this credit card or
[375]
another credit card that you apply for
[378]
but what I have found for my personal
[380]
experience is that sometimes maybe a
[383]
month later two months later that same
[385]
credit card company will send you a
[387]
letter and it's more of a pre-approved
[389]
invitation offer to get their credit
[393]
card either the same credit card a
[394]
similar product or maybe a lower product
[399]
so in only a few short months I was
[403]
offered the upgrade of the Capital One
[405]
quicksilver credit card one of the
[408]
reasons I really like Capital One is
[411]
that only having the Capital One
[414]
Platinum credit card for a few months I
[416]
was offered the opportunity to upgrade
[419]
to Quicksilver and what that basically
[421]
means is same thing a credit card with
[424]
no annual fees but now I was earning
[426]
1.5% cash back and that's unheard of I
[430]
still had Fair Credit on the low end of
[433]
Fair Credit close to bad credit and they
[436]
gave me a rewards credit card this early
[439]
in the game so yes I am loyal to Capital
[444]
One and that's one of the big reasons
[446]
why the interest rate on the Capital One
[450]
platinum credit card is rather high but
[453]
when you're building credit you don't
[455]
want to pay interest at all you always
[457]
want to pay your credit card balances in
[460]
full so because of that you will not pay
[463]
interest and this high interest rate
[465]
does not matter I've had very good
[468]
experiences with Capital One I always
[472]
pay my balances in full every month I
[474]
leave my credit utilization below 20%
[477]
and this credit card really helped me
[482]
increase my credit score I have had it
[485]
for over two years now I do not plan to
[488]
ever cancel it it's going to be a keeper
