They were preapproved for the Quicksilver, but its limit ended up lower than their Platinum and Capital One would not raise it, which they link to being bucketed. They plan to sock-drawer it and keep it for no foreign fees.

They call the Quicksilver a great first real card and their oldest account, with no foreign transaction fees that help on Canada trips, but say it does not hold up long term against a flat 2% card, so it is headed for the sock drawer.
