<prompt> Human: Okay so Ive had my Captial one visa platinum card since I started college 4 years ago at the credit limit of 250. Over time they automatically increased it to 500, under 30 utilization. So now Im making a decent living for myself and wanted my credit limit increased, I called them and asked why I was denied an increase and they said they are going off of my credit back in college. Thats crazy! My credit is way better now then it was in college. Just the other day I was approved through Bank of America for a 2500 credit card. Capital one said the only way I can get an increase in my credit is if I do another credit card application through the company. I dont want to close this card account since it is my oldest. What do I do?  <response>: You should be able to apply for a new card with a higher limit without closing the account on your first credit card.
