Issuer Rules

Rules: Eligibility: Must be actively enrolled in an accredited higher education institution (college, university, or equivalent), be 18 years or older, and possess a valid Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). Designed for individuals with limited or no prior credit history, requiring proof of income (e.g., part-time job, stipend, financial aid) to demonstrate repayment capacity. Bonus Rule (Hypothetical for 2026): Earn 20,000 Miles after spending $500 on purchases within the first 3 months of account opening (equivalent to $200 in travel rewards). Application Rules: Capital One typically limits new card approvals to one every six months. Applicants are generally restricted to holding a maximum of 2-3 Capital One credit cards at any given time, though this can vary based on credit profile and relationship with Capital One. Approval for student cards is often more lenient regarding credit history but still considers overall credit profile and existing Capital One relationships.

Maximum Cards Per Issuer: 5

Minimum Spend Interval: 3 months

Shutdown Risk Triggers: Manufactured spending (MS), rapid accumulation of high cumulative credit limits across Capital One cards, suspicious spending patterns inconsistent with declared income or student status, frequent balance transfers without genuine spending, repeated late payments, excessive chargebacks, or opening too many new credit accounts across all issuers in a short period.
