    I’ve had a solid experience with Capital One overall. The app is easy to use, and I like how simple it is to track spending and make payments. Customer service has been helpful when I needed it, though wait times can vary. Their credit tools and alerts are also a nice touch. Not perfect, but reliable and convenient for everyday use.

      I see the Capital One credit card as my opportunity to improve credit score, and be able to move forward with first time homeowners program that I have been doing research on. Making on time payments is my goal to establish better credit score.

      So far l have no problem with this card except for customer service I called today because my bank sent me a notification that someone opened up a card in my name and told me to contact Capital One so I called Capital One, spoke to a woman, told her what the problem was and she said, "Oh let me connect you to that department." She put me on hold for 10 minutes and then a recording came on and said we are not opened up only on weekdays. Because she didn’t feel like doing her job. Poor customer service.

      I had a Bass Credit card through Capital 1 - I terminated my gym membership at Club 4 giving them over 45 days notice. Most credit card companies put any disputes on hold. This crooked bank does not so I closed the card and reported them to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. My credit score dropped from 815 to 725 - Even though I was given a case number every time I called customer service I had to argue and explain everything over and over. They never sent me a letter regarding the dispute. They are crooks

      I have had this credit card with Capital One for over 15 years. I always pay my monthly balance on time and in full. One fact relevant to this is; about a year prior to this incident, I had to replace my capital one credit card. Capital one mailed me a new credit card with a new Credit card number but on the same current account.

      At the end of February 2026, a fraudster charged my credit card for what appears to be a monthly parking payment of $385, the vendor appears to be a major parking lot company. The fraudster used my old credit card account number. I noticed the fraudulent charge on March 2nd 2026. I have never paid for monthly parking. Although I do occasionally pay for parking in New York city, it has never ever been for more than a few hours. I called capital one to dispute the charge. They immediately put a hold on this charge and issued a credit for that amount. However, on March 3rd, they declined my claim of fraud and put it back on my balance.

      I called them immediately. The reason they gave me was simply that their algorithm determined this was a genuine charge. After pressing them for more details, the rep reluctantly told me that this was an online charge and that the IP address was consistent with other of my genuine charges. I debated that IP addresses can easily be spoofed and that fact is far from certain proof, but I could not get any more information about this charge and they stuck with their conclusion. I continued to press including the fact that the charge was made on my old credit card number, which I have NEVER again used since I got my new card. That fell into death ears.

      I then requested to speak with a manager. The manager gave me the exact same scripted response. I then told them that I would cancel my credit card if they did not do any further examination of this case. They told me I could just do that but that does not change their conclusion. So I did cancel my credit card paid the balance excluding the amount of that charge. Of course, they then apply some late fees of $25 + Interest on the balance. After doing some research for recourses, I found out there is no way to stop them for charging me late fees and interest while I am disputing this charge. So I finally paid it. Of course I could always file a lawsuit with the small claim court. But this is a long and time consuming process.

      Bottom line is that Capital one Algorithms are rather poor. It seems that their policy is that if the fraud is not obvious, then deny the fraud claim instead of further investigating it. They did not give any credence to my claim despite having been a good client always paying my balance on time. They also did not consider the fact that the charge was made on an old card number which was never used for almost a year. They did not consider that IP addresses can be spoofed. It looks like if the fraud is not obvious, the policy is to not spend the resources to investigate and to not lose the money, and so charge the client.

      I am an active-duty service member who was recently approved for benefits under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) through Capital One. On 5/15/26, I called the Veterans Line along with my wife. We were assisted by an employee named Chuck. During the call, Chuck was unbelievably rude and disrespectful to both my wife and me. His tone and behavior were completely unprofessional and left us shocked.

      As a service member who has just gone through the SCRA approval process, I am deeply concerned that an employee working specifically on the Veterans Line would treat a veteran and his family with such hostility. I cannot understand why someone in that role would appear to hold such clear disdain for the veteran community that the SCRA is designed to protect. I would like a response on why this continues to happen. Additionally, just called back and got the nicest lady named Cashanda and she completely took care of us. Chuck wouldn't give out any of his information to include his ID number...

      I had an overseas trip all paid for through Capital One. Had to cancel because of changes in our airline flights. I got a total refund back to my card, over $6000.00. I was then told it would take a month for them to cut me a check for my credit. I guess it's my Wells Fargo card from now on. Been a customer of Capital One since 2018. Soooo disappointed!
