    You guys are awesome. I open a new checking account and I just received the promotion offer that was with the account. And waiting for service over the are fast because I call as soon as you guys open and are available. I don't know why people keep on leaving bad reviews. They just have to wake up mad early and stop complaining for being lazy.

      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 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.

      The Capital One fraud department is a joke. I received fraudulent charges on my credit card twice. I fully documented how the charges were fraudulent yet each time Capital One declined to remove the charges without ever really explaining why. I think they were just lazy and incompetent and didn't want to bother. I quit using that card.

      Capital One replaced my Visa card with a Discover card without getting my permission. I found out when my card was declined twice by businesses that don't accept Discover. I have nearly perfect credit and had a 25K limit. I carry no balance. Once I called they were rude and entitled. I got the best cash back visa in the world to replace their card. I will never do business with them again.

      This is the worst bank I've ever dealt with!!! Since February 2026, my direct deposits have been going in later and later!! Today, it's 5:06 pm and my money still hasn't been deposited into my account!!! I verified with my employer that it was submitted but Capital One says they don't see it!! I've had to call every Friday since February because of how late it's deposited and usually, about 20 minutes after I call, the funds are deposited but not today!! I work with 500 guys and I'm the only one who hasn't gotten paid!! I've changed my direct deposit to another bank and once my money is cleared with Capital One, I will be withdrawing the funds, closing both my savings and checking accounts and canceling all credit cards I have with them!!

      On June 22 I was notified of an incoming zelle transactions and just needed to click link, re-route to zelle who in turn re-routed me to my bank... Cap One. I log into cap one and receive an error message. Called cap one June 23 and was pushed around to multiple people and finally told that due to a change in carrier/new device on June 6, my device is not considered a "Trusted device" and had to wait 15 days for that to happen.

      6/23 was day 13 so by 6/25 this issue would be resolved. It wasn't. Called again today, 6/26, and informed device still not showing as trusted because cap one uses a 3rd-party verification service for this function, cap one told me there is nothing they can do and to call t-mobile to inquire if they have my information correct in their system. Pathetic. I have spoken to 8 different people at cap one in 4 days... Including a supervisor... And not a single person told me the same information. I understand the purpose of cap one requiring device verification; however, it's been 3 weeks since phone changes and still no acknowledgement from cap one's system. I can absolutely understand why their trustpilot score is 1.5/5.

      I tried to notify Capital One directly, but they didn’t want to hear it. I’m closing my accounts after 8 years. I’m astonished at the amount of needless advertising. Pop ups on every page of the mobile app. It’s shameful. Unable to opt out. I feel like my direct link to my money should be a safe space from predators trying to get me to spend more of my money…which they already are already making money on my money… So now you want even more… Greedy bastards. Now you’ll get none of my money. Also, completely obnoxious trying to deposit large checks. At one point, the nearest location was in Chicago. I found it quicker and easier to open an account with a competitor and transfer the funds. Not so convenient checking.

      I am so fed up with Capital One credit card, we used it for our business, then we paid the balance off and closed the account. After we closed the account, we had originally set up automatic payments of $500. After closing account, zero balance, they automatically took $500 out. Trying to get it back was a pain, it could take up to 2 business billing statements to get it back, OUR MONEY! I talked to a manager and got a check within a week or 2. Before cashing I noticed they credited our account for $500? Now I got a bill for 502.32 for check of which we did not cash, plus they are charging me interest. Called them, they will credit account, but could take up to 2 business cycles! In the meantime, I'm having to make min. payment and charged interest. It's only a couple buck, but it's the principle. Talked to manager, couldn't erase it!!! PLEASE DON'T USE THEIR CREDIT CARDS!!!! I WILL REPORT TO BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU.

      I was a random victim of a fraud targeting quota administered by Capital One Savor fraud department in India.. This fraud department created an event when there was no fraud or dubious charges on my account... They blame it on their computer system which makes decisions for them.. My card was suspended after I submitted my license information and facial photo to their fraud department. I have to wait 1 to 10 business days for someone to get back to me. There was no fraud that initiated this and I was able to easily confirm my identity with several agents. I feel that with this fact that Capital One fraud department in India has quotas that they have to meet. In order to meet these quotas they have to manufacture fraud events which is the case with me..

      My SSN was used to apply for a credit card. I contacted Capital One to submit a fraud report and the rep wouldn't transfer me to the fraud department. When I said "So from this conversation, I gather your company does not take fraud seriously", the rep replied "That is correct." I could only laugh. I will definitely never use this company in the future.

      If I could give Capital One zero stars, I would. Capital One has been one of the most frustrating financial institutions I've ever dealt with. Their customer service has been anything but helpful, and I never felt like they genuinely supported me as a customer. If your payment is due on a certain date, don't assume paying later that evening will save you.

      In my experience, being late after 8:00 PM on the due date resulted in late fees, returned payment fees, and compounding interest that quickly made the balance much harder to pay off. Another major issue is how long it can take for transactions or payments to actually process. The money can sit pending for what feels like forever, yet somehow you're still held responsible if it results in insufficient funds or other issues. The delays seem to work against customers rather than for them.

      I've also been disappointed that despite being a customer for years and maintaining the account, my credit limit barely changed. Loyalty doesn't seem to count for much. The only reason I kept the card open was because I knew closing a long-standing credit card could negatively affect my credit history. Otherwise, I would have closed it a long time ago.

      I was even pre-approved for an auto loan through Capital One, and I still wouldn't finance a vehicle with them because of my experience. That's how little confidence I have in this company. Opening an account with Capital One is one of my biggest financial regrets. There are far better banks and credit card companies that value their customers and provide fairer treatment. Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend Capital One to anyone.
