Have a confirmation from Capital one travel of my reservation at Holiday inn in Modesto CA (screen shot attached). When I arrived late last night, I was told that the front desk didn't have my reservations. I had to pay for the hotel out of pocket. It feels like a bait and switch. Get me here with rewards points and then state that they have no record of it. How do I get reimbursed for the money out of my pocket?
I've had problems over the years with Capitol One, but today was the last straw and I will be paying them off and cancelling any credit cards my husband and I have with them. They refused to do anything about a fraudulent charge on my card. They didn't even offer to cancel the card. The customer service rep. just kept repeating how it had to do with a virtual card, so they couldn't (wouldn't) do anything about it.
I didn't buy $80 dollars worth of lip gloss and send it to another state, so criminals got ahold of a virtual card and somehow that's my fault. We all know that criminal have their ways of getting credit card numbers and I've never had a credit card company act like it was my fault. When I said that I would be closing the account, she adopted a tone with me and asked me how I would be paying the entire balance. That was it. I'm DONE!

Venture and Venture X heavy advertise Travel discounts thru travel.capitalone.com... It must be operated by some third party vendor. They advertise price matching but will not price match unless it meets ALL their conditions. Please see Williamson County Texas Court Dockets for lawsuit info!
This company is a scam. Every time I call I talk to someone who does not understand me or what I am asking for. I will always recommend away from Capital One. Chase Sapphire, and American Express Cards are better. I will refer all family and clients away from Capital One.
After booking a car rental thru Cap One travel for Hertz paid for rental then get to airport. Think everything is fine. Return car and hertz charges me again for rental so the original paid was 230 then hertz charged me 389 which btw you can clearly see charges on my cap one card made me fill out a form then declined because they didn't look into my charges to see. So I call cap one travel and they say hertz couldn't find reservation and at the time hertz didn't say anything. Just gave me the car and now Cap One is only refunding the 230. Will never use this service again.
I only have 2 credit cards, both with Capital One, one for personal use and one for business. Over 10 days ago, my personal Venture card became corrupted. I used my business card "to tide me over" until the replacement card came. A week later the business card became corrupted. No credit cards to use! I called Capital One today and found they hadn't even sent the replacements out yet! I asked them to expedite my personal card in overnight mail. They refused. They would mail them out by "express" mail which is 2-3 "business" days from when they actually get put into the mail and then reach me.
It is Wednesday and I expect to see them at the earliest by next Monday! If I were a corporation they would hand deliver the card!! Also, I have concerns about how Capital One is protecting our personal data. As is often the case, before I talked with the manager, I first spoke with a heavily accented English-speaker, most likely a non-U.S. citizen. I shudder to think how our personal data may be exploited and shared!
It's okay if you don't mind ever getting a credit increase even if you've been faithfully paying your bill on time. It's ridiculous. Not a card I intend to keep. Not sure if it's helped or hurt my credit. All their added are a joke. Definitely don't apply to me.
I made a booking in August for a November cruise. Signed in to choose my seats and see that they had my 2nd flight on the wrong day.. Called back and they said they listened to the conversation from the august call BUT they will not let me listen to it. I even told the agent exact dates and flight numbers. Then they charged me another 48 dollars to fix their mistake. The other over 12k flights had us leaving the US the day after the one flight that was a one way IN Europe. WHAT A JOKE.. Who could have not figured that out? And then they say they listened to the call and that was not what I said BUT they would not let me listen!!! WTH!!! Thinking I saved up 1.3 million miles to make those reservations that they would want want to make a client angry over their mistake?? BUT NO. They don't care!!!! Watch it with Capital One Travel for sure!
Worst credit card company I have ever dealt with. I had two Capital One (C1) credit cards, and had been a customer since 2017. My credit is excellent (E-754, T-756), as was my payment history. Today (11/2/22) I closed both of my accounts because I am extremely dissatisfied with C1's abhorrent excuse for what they call customer service.
I customarily pay my full balance on credit cards to avoid interest charges. Every other credit card I own either gives customers until midnight on the due date or, if the cutoff is earlier, the interest charges are AUTOMATICALLY reversed. That is NOT the case with Capital One. Last month, on top of my automatic minimum payment, I paid the remaining $890.00 balance on the due date. However, C1 has an 8pm ET cutoff for payment, giving West Coast customer's a shorter window to make payments.
When the system advised that my payment was considered late, I called C1 to make sure the interest charges would be reversed. After an hour on the phone, I was transferred to a supervisor. He advised me that C1 realizes their current policy is unfair to customers on the West Coast and that, due to customer complaints, a policy change is planned for the near future. He also informed me that I had a pretty good chance of having the charges reversed because of my account standing and the fact that the minimum due was paid before the cut-off, and only my additional payment was submitted afterward. However, nothing could be done until and if the charges appeared on my next statement.
I called back today and another supervisor informed that, regardless of having been with them for 5+ years, and in spite of the policy change in the near future, they would not reverse the interest charges. When I asked to escalate my complaint, he said I would have to do that via snail-mail. Isn't THAT convenient for C1? This company is NOT customer-centered. They encourage customers to alleviate the company's call volume (overhead expenses) by making payments and profile changes online. They also reduce overhead costs by posting online statements for "customers' convenience."
However, they have a convenient policy to deter customer escalations by not having an online process or even an email address for filing customer complaints. I refuse to line the pockets of Capital One and its company-centered "customer service" when they penalize West Coast customers with a shorter time window for payments. Chase, Discover, and Amex don't treat their customers that way, which is why C1 no longer has my business and their competition does.
I tried booking a round trip airline ticket through Capital One Travel, a booking site for C1 cardholders. I selected what was indicated as an available flight 7 weeks in advance. I entered all my info including credit card number and was charged immediately. I was then directed by the site over to confirmation of my flights but the system gave me an error message and to please try again. I went through the Capital One Travel once again trying to book my flight. Once again my credit card was charged for the flights then was given another error message and to please try again or call their customer service. I called customer service and a Capital One employee tried to book my flight to no avail but was charged now for the third time on flights Capital One Travel claimed were unavailable.
The low limit card is now maxed out and has been for a couple weeks. I've tried time and again to get these charges off my bill but to no avail. The customer service sees I got no tickets from their site. They keep track of the number of times I've called in and they all say the charges will come off in 7-10 business days but it's been twice that now with the 3 false charges still on my account. I always knew in the back of my mind I would be walking away from this round of credit like I've done a couple times before. Maybe they can sue me for my food stamps or try to take away my birthday lol.
