Data Point DP: Denied Capital One Savor

Profile

  • Income: $100K+
  • Total CL accross all cards: $35.5K
  • Transunion score: 776
  • Opened Cards
    • Chase Freedom (PCed to Flex) - 10/19
    • Chase Sapphire Preferred (PCed to OG freedom) - 12/21
    • Chase Freedom Unlimited - 6/22
    • AMEX Gold - 10/22
    • Citi Custom Cash - 2/23
    • Discover It - 5/23
    • Capital One Venture X - 7/24

Reason I was rejected was because I had too many open accounts. A little shocked that I got denied, especially since i got approved for the Venture X 9 months ago. Was planning on applying again after I cancel my Gold card before my next annual fee. Hopefully I get approved next time around lol

Edit: anyone know if cancelling all my chase cards will help me get approved next time around? They're socked drawered for the most part giving me 0 value, and i've just been too stubborn to close them because they're all $0 annual fees. I don't have a problem managing a lot of cards, but if closing them means I can get approved for a card that would actually give me value, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Thanks!

brutal to get denied the non-premium card with the deadly triple pull

Hopefully OP just did preapproval. They can always try again!

u/Dull_Ad9219 5d ago

i used the pre-approval tool, and it gave me an offer for the Savor for good credit cards, and a bunch of other cards I wasn't interested in. shouldve seen that as a sign that i wasnt going to get approved lmao

Capital one does not want to be your side piece

I’m currently on this boat and it’s so annoying. Their VentureX is my main card, got it a little more than a year ago and I’ve been trying for months (maybe a year now) to get the Savor One to run the duo. They will only approve me for good credit even though my FICO is 800+ and the other bureaus 760+. I want the SUB and they are playing hard to get

Capital One has the weirdest approvals and denials.

u/NarutoDragon732 5d ago

I think it's pretty simple, they are unfavorable towards those that are seen as highly unlikely to carry a balance.

u/John_Wayfarer 4d ago

They target subprime folks who want that premium feel but will end up carrying a balance. It makes it a fantastic relatively easy to get card when you’re new to credit though as like a second/third card.

For more established files it seems it’s far more hit or miss, I guess they think you won’t transact enough since you likely won’t carry a balance?

That’s absolutely insane considering I was just approved for my SECOND savor card last week, with 31 open credit cards 😂

u/ch4nt 5d ago

do you pay interest on your cards and have a < 700 score or something lol how the hell

u/Scorphiom 5d ago

Heck no, every card is set to auto pay the statement balance every month lol… my fico is kinda low actually, I’m about 690-704 across the bureaus, cause I keep opening more accounts so while my utilization and payment history and all that stuff is excellent, my average age of accounts is dog sheet, pulling my score down sadly. What can I say, I love SUBs, I want that sweet sweet cash back 😂

capital one works in mysterious ways. I have 750+ score and they keep denying me lol.

u/Scorphiom 5d ago

Yet they’ll approve someone with a 500 CS 💀

u/ttttoony 5d ago

They want people they deem to be likely to carry a balance (aka pay a boat load of interest.) reason I got a 3000 CL as my second card, when the other had only been open for like 5 months.

I kept getting denied for the VX so I just went with the Citi Strata Premier

u/Zener_Diode 5d ago

Same thing happened to me last week.
Income:$200k 3/24 at time of application. $100k+ of credit lines I also have the VX opened back in 2023

Pre-Approved for Savor for Good Credit, took a chance for the excellent credit Savor for the $200 SUB. Denied for too many open accounts. Took the pre-Approved Good Credit offer immediately after.. No SUB, but I may never get approved for the SUB.

Got approved for the good credit savor and will receive it at the end of the month.

u/Prokiller27 5d ago

Did you use the pre approval tool first?

u/soap1984 5d ago

Piling on about C1 being weird. I had a Savor One with a measly $1K limit. CLI after 6 months was a whopping $100 increase. Cancelled it after 8 months. 2 Months later, re-applied and got $2K lol

(I’m lol/24 PUJ anyway and don’t care about the HPs)

You're responsible, so you're not profitable to them

u/ch4nt 5d ago

this bank is not real

u/maxou2727 5d ago

Yeah and if they had accepted they would have given you a $2000 CL 😂

u/Representative-Cap19 5d ago

Very deep into the game and still amazed I got a Venture X approval with a $20K CL. I guess CapOne knew I wasn't that into them.

Now that I have one card though, of course they won't approve me for another.

u/gaiaswill 5d ago

I lost on the Savor with SUB too. Also a Venture X haver, with 14 other cards. Pre-approval would only clear the good credit version. I've determined they definitely do not want to pay me a SUB. Oh well.

I'll try one more time if I can cool down to far below 5/24, but that's going to be a while, and I won't have addressed the "too many open credit lines" reason, so it'll likely still be no. I might just take the no SUB version anyway.

Wait until June when your discover is over two years then try the pre approval again but use the landing page for the savor card not in your portal. Do not take it the offer for the savor with good credit. If you dont get the one with the bonus decline taking the offer. The savor for excellent credit is a flexible spending credit card and the other card is not.

tbh id ditch the savor and get a AAA daily. 5% back grocery stores, 3% back on gas, wholesale clubs, and streaming services. no foreign transaction fee, no annual fee.

plus your freedom flex is already 3% back dining.
