They've also switched from Visa to Mastercard for the Quicksilver card. All the Visa accounts are grandfathered in which means they continue to be Quicksilver Visa cards. Then there is the VISA Signature which is for credit lines above 5K.
I recently got new card so I plan on finally cancelling this in order to get my fee back from last year. To me it makes no sense why a CC company would risk losing a customer of over a decade thats never missed a payment over an annual fee that the same card no longer has.
Source: I applied for this card got it spent the money and they declined the bonus after I called.

Horrendous (and completely outsourced) customer service indeed. Wouldnt bank with them even if there was a $500 bonus on $500 spent

Either way, I would never recommend getting a secured card or the "normal" Quicksilver credit card with AF from Capital One. They are terrible at "graduating" people to an unsecured or no AF version of their card even if the cardholder improves their credit.
If people are looking to improve their credit through a secured card, get the Discover secured card. Discover will upgrade you to a normal card assuming you pay your bills on time and are responsible. Eventually you will have an unsecured card that you can keep for a long time and keep building credit history vs. being stuck with a secured card with Capital One that you will have to cancel because they might not "graduate" you to an unsecured card.

Today Capital One has switched the Quicksilver card over to MasterCard branding. All the previous Quicksilver Visa cards are grandfathered, meaning nothing changed.
There would be no reason for anybody to get a Quicksilver Card and pay an annual fee for a non secured card. In my previous post I mentioned the Quicksilver branding problem. There is a Quicksilver One card with a $39 annual fee. I assumed that was the secured Quicksilver Card but it appears that card is still offered.
Are you saying that people applying for the no annual fee Quicksilver who are denied for that card are sent a Quicksilver One card with a $39 annual fee? That would be bait and switch as well as pariah banking practices.

Goes to show Cap 1 is trash. Not willing to remove an annual fee on a card that no longer has one, for a customer of over decade with zero late payments and a great credit score.
Eat a d...k Capital One
