Issuer Rules

Rules: For 2026, the Capital One Quicksilver Secured card is projected to maintain its core purpose as a credit-building tool. Eligibility typically requires applicants to be 18 years or older, a U.S. resident, and possess a Social Security Number or ITIN. It is primarily designed for individuals with limited or fair credit, or those looking to rebuild their credit history. A refundable security deposit (minimum typically $200-$300) is required, which determines the credit limit. Unlike premium cards, the Quicksilver Secured does not offer a traditional sign-up bonus; its primary 'bonus' is the opportunity to build credit and potentially graduate to an unsecured card. Capital One generally advises against applying for more than one of their cards within a 6-month period, though this can vary based on credit profile and card type. The 'once per lifetime' bonus restriction, such as the one for Venture X, does *not* apply to the Quicksilver Secured card, as it does not offer a sign-up bonus.

Maximum Cards Per Issuer: 2

Minimum Spend Interval: Not applicable; secured cards typically do not offer a sign-up bonus requiring a minimum spend.

Shutdown Risk Triggers: Manufactured spending, high cumulative credit limit across Capital One accounts, rapid application velocity (too many new accounts/inquiries), suspicious spending patterns, failure to make timely payments, or abuse of card terms.
