    Two years ago I had a 485 beacon score and a friend sent me a link for an unsecured card. I laughed thinking he was being a funny guy. Well I filled it out and 2 years later I have 2 accounts with Capital One and a 645 beacon score. Yes Capital One sent a drek a card and in two years helped him build his credit. I noticed the bad reviews and I also see people who leave bad reviews because they could not get something for nothing. Well I have never had a problem and have grown well within my credit profile. Why? First I pay my bills and don't try to get free stuff and second Credit Wise 🦉. It is amazing and we get it free? I am and always will be a 100% satisfied customer of Capital One and oh by the way I jumped up 200 plus in credit score. Thanks Capital One. You know what's in my wallet. 😎

      I have been a Discover Card Customer for 40 years and never had my due or statement dates changes. That is why I am so upset with Capital One. I think it is being done on purpose with the hopes of Capital Once issuing their own Credit Cards to Discover Card Customers. Don't let that happen. Due and Statement dates for Discover Card customers are changing due to the migration to Capital One without CONSENT. I believe that that is an illegal practice under Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) law. Also Customer service can't even tell me when my August statement will appear. Again probably not legal under CFPB. I hope Capital One see this and corrects every customers' account to its original Discover Card Due date and Statement date ASAP.

      I thought I could travel with CapitalOne credit card, peaceful in mind, but I was wrong. We recently travelled to Oslo, Norway and stayed in Citybox Oslo. It was the worst stay I ever had. We were woken by bed bug biting. After we complained to the hotel and got no response, we disputed the transaction with CapitalOne. We expected at least CapitalOne would fully refund us, but CapitalOne didn't work on our best interest and told us the hotel didn't agree for full refund. I think from now on, I have to reconsider if I should use CapitalOne for travel or not.

They shut off my card, because they're sending me a new, because of the take over. I called Capital One, they said my new card would be here next week. They shut off my card before they send the new one! Guess no gas or groceries this week! 20 years with Discover no issues, 1 month under Capital One good company driven into the ground.

      Mixed reviews. Sure at first, best thing since sliced bread. Get a card, build credit and so on. Decade or so of banking with them later.... um no. The CVS pharmacy deposit is handy if depositing cash, but why does it take nearly 6 or more days to transfer money from a verified account they have utilized numerous times to them?? Let's add the fact you can not literally email them AT ALL for anything!!! I can see why it takes so long. They give you many addresses to mail payments to, and find out it's not the "right address". Yet customer service and the website state it is. But it is not. Solve that riddle.

      I just spent the morning arguing with both the credit card department and customer service for payments in form of checks mailed priority and CONFIRMED DELIVERY from USPS. "Um we don't see the payment..... It may take until this Friday for it to show" and I still might get late fees although they received these payments before due date. The bottomline issue is NOT A SOUL in Capital One with my checks virtually IN HAND has confirmed my payments were received, let alone processed. As my title states modern tech at a prehistoric pace, if they actually acknowledge it at all.

      I’ve been with Capital One for a couple of years. Have multiple cards with them. I never been so frustrated in my life and treated so horrible with a company like this. My account got locked out because of a mistype password. OK fine. Called in to try to get it unlocked. They sent me through every loophole in the world known to mankind and it still wasn’t good enough for them to verify identity. I sent in mailing address to verify me, sending checking account information to verify me, and the same checking account information that I pay them every month through to verify me, they want me to go and order some checks to send them a canceled check just the show. It’s me and wait 30 days for it to come while my account is locked out. They gotta be out of their damn minds. I would never ever deal with this company again. I’m looking into trying to cancel these cards.

      Today's Capital One sent me an email and text saying there was unusual activity on my account. They said a starter check (Check No. 139) was cashed from my savings account. The problem is I don't even have checks for that account, and I definitely didn't write one. What shocked me the most is they notified me after the check had already been processed. When I called, they confirmed it was fraudulent, froze my account, and told me they would investigate. They also admitted they couldn't explain why a check had been processed against my savings account or tell me when I'd get my money back.

      I had just deposited this money on Friday, and by Monday it was gone. That money was supposed to pay my child's school tuition. Instead of making the situation right while they investigate, all I got was an apology. I expected much better from a bank as large as Capital One. Customers shouldn't have to wait indefinitely to get their own money back after the bank processes a fraudulent transaction. This experience has made me seriously question how well Capital One protects its customers.

      I have had a Capital One Spark Business credit card for several years. I found out my credit limit was reduced to basically nothing because I didn't use the card much and there is virtually no way to get the limit back to what it was when I applied for the card... I was punished for being responsible with my card and now I can't even use it when I need it for my business. Do NOT get one of their cards if you are responsible with your credit cards...

      CAPITAL ONE is a credit card company that gets away with abusing customers. I had DISCOVER for over twenty happy years. Sadly, DISCOVER was taken cover by CAPITAL ONE. After complaining to CAPITAL ONE that my bill had not arrived by mail and requesting that the bill be sent 3 times, I finally paid the bill by phone 6 days late. At no time did a representative inform me that I would be charged exorbitant fees, regardless of the failed mailing. I made the first call requesting the bill be sent before the due date. I was 6 days late in payment. I paid by phone, without receiving the bill by mail.

      I have had ridiculous fees added to my bill for 2 months for a lateness, due to the company's failed mailings. The representatives are inadequate. The reps. give scripted responses and then hang up the phone after failing to help. I ALWAYS pay bills on time, and have never had abusive late fees. The loss of DISCOVER has meant left customers with the horrid CAPITAL ONE.

      STAY AWAY from Capital One credit cards. In nearly 70 years, I had never been denied credit until I applied for a Kohl’s/Capital One credit card. I have an 825 credit score, no history of credit problems, and was a longtime Capital One customer. I previously had a checking account, overdraft protection, a credit card, and even a car loan with them when I lived near a Capital One branch. They were always convenient and treated me well in the past, which made this denial even more surprising. After looking into it further, I have concerns about how some applicants are being evaluated and whether those decisions fully comply with the spirit of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA). Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage people to do their research and carefully consider all their options before applying for a Capital One credit card.

Also provided copies of correspondence with merchant where they agreed there was an error and would refund the difference, yet they didn't, so I filed the dispute. Capital One denied the dispute within minutes, saying they needed a receipt from the merchant with the correct amount showing.

      I am extremely disappointed in the poor customer service provided to me by Capital One in my recent "mixed files" identity theft. While individual agents were polite, there was no one who could help me resolve an issue that impacted my card with Capital One. I received no personal communication. Notices were filed online, but I could not access my account to read them via the app or online during this period because Capital One restricted access.

And speaking of being screwed over, when I was in Portugal, someone used my card to purchase something, and even though I wasn't on the continent at the time the purchase was made for a company called JA San Francisco, the credit card company decided, after I filed a fraud claim, that I did in fact, make the purchase (even though I was not on the continent at the time) and they are sticking me with the damage, sending me a hokey letter that gave zero reasons why. After getting the letter, I called and spoke with not one, not two, but three different people, and in the end, they couldn't explain anything: not where the charge was made, not what was purchased, nor who the merchant was, and even so, they stuck me with the charge!

      This review is for Capital One Travel. Capital One outsourced the travel portion of their card business to a third party. I do not know when. It has been a disaster since. I have been with Capital One for close to 20 years. Working with in-house agents was fantastic. We were stuck in D.C. as hurricane Sandy approached. One phone call and they got us on a flight out of there at no extra cost. Been on many flights, booked with them using points, over the years. Booking my flight to Hawaii recently has been a nightmare. Booked, then needed to change. No can do😩. Tried to get a detailed receipt, nope. Finally after 3 attempts between the airline and Cap One Travel, found the airline wanted to charge $291 each to move departure back 2 days. Cap one was no help.

      I booked fully refundable and again Cap One couldn’t help. Had to cancel with the airline, then call Capital One. They called the airline and then I never heard back. Called again😩. Yeah they said, working on it. 2 weeks later got money refunded. Yesterday I needed to make a simple change to a hotel reservation booked through Capital One Travel. First time I could not understand anything the agent said. Talked to another, she was fine but could not help. I reiterate, in-house Capital one travel booking was fantastic from booking to help during any trip. Third party travel site is useless.

      I had a Capital One credit card. I would pay off what I thought was the interest and the late fee, and very little went to the principal. No sooner did I pay that bill, they tacked on another $75 in interest, before the previous bill cleared my bank. When I was one day late, I asked if the $8.00 late fee could be waived (paycheck determined), and they told me "Well, we will see what we can do." Never removed the late fee. I tried several times to contact them about lowering my monthly payment to one that I can manage, after my card was charged off.

      They had only 4 options for me to consider, but none were within my budget. So, now they put on their "big boy pants (cough)," and I am now going to my local magistrate to talk to them in court. If you didn't understand that, yes, these predators are suing me for $3,600. Yet as I read here, they are sleazy. They get celebrities (who have lots of money) as their spokespersons, not real people like me and the ones that I read here.

      Buyer beware! Capital One may offer you travel credits. Also Discover and Airlines may offer you a temptation of a travel credit – do not accept it. The travel offers can be only be made through Capital One Travel. Each travel offer has a specific applicability, so it won’t work for almost anything you may have in mind - the starting prices will be much higher and the availability much lower. Read the terms and conditions – it’s about 100 pages long and there is no way you will ever meet all the terms and conditions. There’s always some exclusion somewhere that means after the fact, you’re just gonna be stuck paying for everything. Whatever the offer is do not accept it.

      I would rather have $10 cash than $1000 travel credit with Capital One. At least the $10 can be spent somewhere unlike the travel credits. We stayed at Hilton Hotels and planned on using travel credits, but this was never a possibility as we did not meet all of their conditions. $350 a night plus fees was the best deal - no help from Capital One.

      Used to be excellent. Some things still true. Easy to use, low fees. However, the recent change to Discover has been awful. Suddenly a huge trusted network of ATMs whittles down to barely any. Traveling is supposed to be easy with them, but with the Discover network it is hit or miss, sometimes completely useless. I found myself in Mexico completely unable to pull cash out for anything. If you travel at all, or rely on a broader network of coverage, stay away.

      I opened a 360 Checking account and deposited $1000 from my US bank account, based on Capital One's promotional offer, which stated that I would receive a $300 bonus after meeting the required conditions within three months. However, after four months, I still had not received the reward. When I contacted customer service, I was told that my initial deposit, which I had transferred from my U.S. Bank account, did not qualify for the promotion. They explained that the deposit needed to be made in a specific way, but despite their explanation, the requirements remained unclear and confusing.

      Ultimately, I decided to close the account. After doing so, I incurred account closure penalties, and the account closure also negatively affected my credit score. Overall, this was one of the worst banking experiences I have had. The promotional terms were not communicated clearly, and the lack of transparency made the entire process frustrating. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Capital One to others.

      I recently tried to pay my Capital One card(s) bill by phone using my debit card from the bank that I normally mail a check from. They will not take a payment by phone using a debit, they want me to voluntarily give up access to my bank account and routing number (this bank is an hour away) in order to make a one time payment by phone, that's not happening as they have been also pressuring me to go paperless and give them my bank account info. They REFUSED to take a payment with my debit card and this will cause me for the first time to be late out of all of my bills, mortgage etc...unless I go to the local bank and pay for a cashiers check to mail in order to prevent it being late while I wait for my checks to come in...they refused!!!

      I just needed my phone number updated so I can log into the app and see my account information and pay my car note, but instead I now have to call every month to pay and I cannot access my account info. Their app is absolutely terrible and the nice people who tried to help could not do anything to resolve the problem. Please don't use Capital One or the app. It's beyond terrible and if you change your phone number you won't be able to do anything. I wish I could go to another company but unfortunately my loan was through this horrible company. I am not happy and I wish I didn't ever choose capital one. I know no one cares about review but capital one is abysmal and subpar.

      I am extremely disappointed with how Capital One handled this situation. I purchased a vehicle warranty through a used car dealership, later canceled it, and received a refund of approximately $2,700. The refund was correctly applied as a credit to my Quicksilver credit card account. Since the credit created a positive balance, I simply requested that Capital One send me the remaining funds by check, which is a standard practice for credit balance refunds.

      However, after processing the refund, my rewards balance was adjusted to -$37, leaving me with a negative rewards balance that I now have to earn back before I can receive future rewards. I understand that the rewards adjustment may have been related to the refunded purchase, but I asked Capital One on two separate occasions to make a one-time courtesy adjustment to restore my rewards balance to zero, especially considering I have been a loyal customer since 2018, have never missed a payment, and have consistently paid my balance in full. Both requests were denied.

      This experience has completely changed my opinion of Capital One. I no longer have any incentive to continue using a credit card where I have to "earn back" a negative rewards balance after receiving a legitimate refund. Customer loyalty and years of responsible account management apparently carry very little weight when it comes to customer service decisions.

      As a result, I will no longer be using Capital One for my spending, and I will be moving my business to a company that values long-term customers and is willing to exercise reasonable discretion in situations like this. I will also share my experience with others whenever they ask for recommendations on credit cards. This situation could have been resolved with a simple $37 one-time courtesy adjustment, but instead it has cost Capital One a loyal customer.
