Does CapitalOne have a good credit card for people with bad credit?

Babygirl23 pyta:
Does CapitalOne have a good credit card for people with bad credit?

I am interested in getting a credit card. I haven’t had a credit card in years, and I have made a few late payments on other bills, so I think that my credit is probably considered fair. I am trying to rebuild my credit, and I think that getting a credit card (and paying it on time every month) is the way to go. Does CapitalOne have the best credit card for folks with fair to poor credit? Is there a guaranteed approval? If CapitalOne isn’t the best, then can you recommend a good card?

SMH pyta:
What is the lowest possible fixed APR you can get for a credit card?

I talking about excellent credit with atleast five years of credit history, no blemishes what soever, and someone with a high credit rating. I am just kind of wondering what kind of offers does good credit get you, especially compared to people with bad credit? What kind of APR can you get with bad credit, overdue accounts in the history, poor credit, and a short credit history?
I am just curious as to how much of an advantage is it to have a good credit history?

How do you reestablish a credit card grace period?

Kevin pyta:
How do you reestablish a credit card grace period?

I always pay my credit cards in full every month, but I was wondering how carrying a balance works.

Say you charge $200 on the card and pay only $100 when payment is due. You charge NOTHING on the credit card the next month, and after the statement closes, you’re imposed a $10 finance charge.

To re-establish the grace period, do you have to pay $110? Or just the $100 principal? Or what?

How do I get a credit card with bad credit and a cosigner?

I have a cosigner that has excellent credit that will cosign for me to get a credit card to build my score plus to have for emergencies. My score is a 585. I pay my bills on time and don’t spend alot of money on dumb things. I just don’t have anything but a car loan giving me credit and a couple of old accounts that need taken care of.
