Poor Credit
If you have poor credit or a limited credit history, your Capital One credit card options are a bit more limited. However, there is no reason to despair. You have two excellent cards to choose from:
- Capital One Platinum Max – This card is great for those with limited a credit history or less than perfect credit because it has a fairly low APR that will not increase for the first three years. Cardholders also benefit from a low annual membership fee and a flexible credit limit.
- Capital One Platinum – Similar to the Platinum Max card, the basic Platinum card has a low APR and a flexible credit limit. The difference is no annual membership fee and a variable APR.
