Can I pay off my credit card balance to free up available credit?
The card you have is one where you had to deposit an amount equivelent to your card limit -a secured limit credit card.  Capital One is one if the primary cards of this type. The typical rules of credit card usage and building your credit, do not apply.  So, yes, you want to use the card as much as possible and pay off your balance as often as is necessary to keep your limit freed up. You can actually pay the full balance plus 10%, and gain a little extra limit. Use your card as much as possible and call them and ask for a limit increase every three months.  usually about 4 - 5 months in, they will increase your limit and do so without asking for a corresponding security deposit.  This is really cool, because it means you are becoming credit-worthy. I know so much about this because I applied for this card for my son and am helping him in his attempt to repair his credit.  His score increased by almost 200 points last year.
