Terrible card. Customer service is all scripted. You have to pay your card earlier than the due date. You get late fees for paying the day of. Customer service can't help you because they are only allowed to read their script. I'm so frustrated!

I got this card to build my credit, instead, they cost my credit points because they wouldn't replace money on my card that was stolen by a criminal company. Four times over four months they allowed another company to take $25.00 out of my account. My card was MasterCard Canada; the company that kept on taking my money out was MasterCard U.S. Go figure!

Thanks for taking a small chance on me as your card holder! I wanted a card that could help me build trust and credit at the same time. Keep up the thoughtful customer service Capital One, always good to know y'all have the customer in mind when developing products. Yes! I’m loving the APP, and how easy you can personalize it, I’m all about customization!

I called Capital One for assistance in January for a charge I was disputing for a camping reservation I canceled. Never received my credit. Have called back 8 times since January 16th only to be told today they need me to submit my original charge of which they should have since I can access it online. If you needed that information, do not wait 3 months to ask me for it. Still going around and around over a charge that should be super simple to take care of. Capital One does not have your back or provide the consumer with the protection we deserve. Everyone should cancel their cards and pick another service provider that cares about their customers.

Back in September of 2016 I lost my job and became unemployed and did not receive unemployment benefits. I expressed this to Capital One being that I had a credit card with them with a 500 credit limit and they insisted that my account will be fine. I missed December & January 2017 30.00 payments and once I got a job and paid them on 1/28/17 I realized my credit score went from 680 to 450! So I called all three credit agencies and they told me there is nothing that will bring my score up to 680 besides Capital One removing those 2 missed/late payment of your credit report!
So I called Capital One and spoke with over 20 supervisors who told me they cannot removed negative remarks off my credit report until I stumbled across one STUPID supervisor who told my Capital One does removed negative remarks off people credit reports. It just depends on the situation! The manager then refused to explain why my situation did not apply and became argumentative! There is nothing you can do in America with a 457 credit score not rent, take out mortgage auto loan nothing and they are quite aware of this!
So I kept calling and finally got a supervisor who told me she would have the two late payment removed from my report so I waited 30 days. After 30 days Equifax updated my score back in the 600's and the Capital One late payments remarks were gone! So I check TransUnion and Experian only to see my score with them was still 457. So I called back AND ASKED WHY WAS THE LATE PAYMENT REMOVED ONLY FROM EQUIFAX?
The manager then told me she will resend out to TransUnion and Experian to remove those negative remarks making my score 457. You should guess what happened in 30 more days!!! Yup! All 3 agencies now have my score at 457! Yup even Equifax who just had my score at 680! So the manager keep lying to me from 1/01/2017 until 5/5/2017 saying they will removed the score after at first they said they couldn't but still haven't and giving me the runaround! I have wrote numerous letters to corporate which they said were abusive after ruining my life lol and now they saying none of these 1000 existed!
I am permanently not able to do anything because I missed 2 30.00 payment with Capital One due to me being unemployed which they already knew and still told me I was fine! They are the only ones that can fix this situation yet they refuse to! I even contact 5 lawyers who refused the case because the payment were only 60.00 $ and the credit card max is 500.00 which shows how disgusting they are! Had someone score dropped 300 points for 60.00$ and measly 500.00 credit limit! May all people who work for Capital One burn in hell! They are a evil satanic company! May their kids, kids, kids, kids kids suffer! Still not resolved. SCREW Capital One. Spoke with someone on 3/28/18 who said they will not fix it!

Called Capital One to request a lower interest rate as every few months they are increasing my credit limit. 7 years a customer, never a missed or late payment, paid off over 8,000 and carrying a zero balance when I called. Their offer? 20% APR for 7 months... Then back to 24.9%. They have raised my lines of credit to almost 10,000! Would charge any significant amount on a 20 - 24% rate? My credit union is offering 7.9 - 14% Thanks for the insult Capital One! I closed both credit accounts, am transferring my Roth IRA and closing my Capital One investment account and will close my Kohl's account that is also through Capital. I won't appreciate any company who doesn't appreciate my hard earned! My credit union thanks you too... They're getting the new business!

I got charge $205.92 from a merchant for professional services, but the merchant did not do what they were supposed to do on their behalf. Capital One have to credit the amount charge to my account, but never did that's why I'm posting this review. On top of that after I paid the whole balance on my account they still charge me interest! Now I call them to close my account, get Citibank cards. They don't charge annual fee. No interest for 18 months. Forget Capital One.

Overall, I have had a 4 to 5 star experience holding a Capital One credit card for several years. However, I am not of the “kick ‘em when they’re down” mentality, & I find the practice offensive, whether personal or business. When my finances shifted for the worse about a year and a half ago, I tried to “maintain.” When I acknowledged the degree to which I was challenged to do so, I reluctantly decided to enter a debt management program. I am dedicated to expunging my consumer debt and have honored my contract to abstain from obtaining credit elsewhere.
However, I find the set interest rate Capital One established for me while I endure this hand-to-mouth existence to be the least helpful of any of my creditors! Citibank is much more supportive of my plight, as is USAA. Both banks set my rates at less than 5%, which is manageable, & it also helps me make some progress on the debt. Capital One: not so much. Their rate is triple the others, and I am chipping away on debt there at a snail’s pace by compare. This is not a “scathing” review, I know; but it is a matter of fact, and offers a contrast among 3 bigger banks. If you have a choice, I recommend Citibank over Capital One by a long shot. And USAA just rocks on principle. Military life is hard on families. That bank actually serves those families well.

Capital One has been my bank for many years. Last year I came into a lot of money with the sale of my mother’s house. The Banker named Christine ** at my branch in Staten Island kept harassing me each time I came into the bank, urging me to "Do something with my money-It is too much money and Nobody keeps savings accounts anymore-It is old-fashioned". I told her that I will be buying a home in North Carolina by the fall (2017) and that it doesn't pay to embroil myself with C.O Bank anymore as I will be leaving NY soon; I need the money for expenses and there are no CO Banks in NC. She looked up the zip code in NC and told me there was one right in the town where I was looking which turned out to be false!
With this information, I agreed to see the Financial Advisor/Vice President Alex B. Christine **. sat in on our meeting (and kept encouraging me to go through with this). I told Alex B that I am too old/poor health to follow the stock market; I have already lost a lot with Cap. One investing years ago as a young Nurse; that it cannot be tied up because I will need the money soon, to be taken out in increments as I go along purchasing furniture/expenses (and medical bills). Mr Alex B said "No problem. I will set you up with a liquid account so that you can easily take the money out as you need it, It will be conservative so that you don't stand to lose money and you don't have to follow the stock market and it will be income producing - much more than a savings account can offer.”
Mr Alex B even showed me an account on his computer of a Nurse who put in $100,000 and was happily making an income - I did not see any negative numbers or their exorbitant fees on her account-only gains. Feeling confident about this and the positive information given to me, I signed on the dotted line and turned over my whole savings - $100,000 into this account. Now I have an empty house in North Carolina. I cannot spend the money freely - it is not mine but their money even though CAPITAL ONE WENT DEFUNCT IN FEBRUARY 2018 for which I was never informed of!
So to make a long story short: I was not told that there are no Capital One banks in North Carolina! I was not informed that I will have to call up Alex B at Capital One investing when I need money for expenses so that he could send a voucher to my home in NC! He made it sound as easy as a savings account! Alex B. did not inform me of risks, penalties, fees and loss of value when I take out the money I need. He did not inform me that I must keep the money in the account long term in order to increase value even though I told him I would need this money soon, that I cannot tie it up or keep it long term as I will be needing the money within a few months!
They did not inform me that this product is risky and loses value and is not FDIC insured! In addition BOTH CHRISTINE ** and ALEX B convinced me by the end of the meeting to take out a CAPITAL ONE MORTGAGE LOAN for which I did and was approved - THE MORTGAGE DIVISION IS NOW DEFUNCT ALSO!!! Christine ** harassed me about that too and I assured her that I applied and was approved but decided to pay for the house in full since I had the money in my savings and did not want the extra burden of paying another bill! I was never told that Capital One investing will cease to exist! My money has been in this 6 months now - and I do not know how to proceed.
IF I withdraw - I stand to lose a lot of my money. I am contemplating meeting with a Lawyer about this. It is confusing to know how to proceed as I am given conflicting information by Cap.one employees - "I stand to lose money if I withdraw, It will increase in value - give it 1-2 years ( don't have that much time), you haven't given it enough time". The value is decreasing dramatically as I write this. This is not the life that I envisioned for myself. This has put a damper on the joy of being a new homeowner. I am wondering how long I must keep it in while I am not able to dress my home or keep up with expenses. I am on Disability and Medicare and told Alex and Christine that I need the money for this also and cannot chance to lose it or have it not easily accessible. Why couldn't they advise me and guide me to a more suitable account-fitted to My needs and not THEIRS?
I would have never signed the contract 6 months ago had I known that there were no Capital One banks in NC and that Capital One Investing will cease to exist. I am older and like to have the bank nearby for my banking needs. There is NO MORE Capital One Investing. I was told by Cap. One investing by telephone that accounts are being handled by the "National Advice Center" which according to Google is hard to find. Then these accounts will be turned over to the FSC which I was told by a Cap. One Financial Planner (at the toll free number) stands for "Financial Advisor Group" which I can't find on the Internet also.
Who are these people and why should I trust THEM-FSC - with my money if I can't even trust Capital One? Please let me know if YOU HAVE BEEN DECEIVED BY Capital One Investing also! My guess is that Capital One knew that they were failing and needed to draw in more money for customers who had large amounts in their savings. The employees are vultures who Target, Harass and deceive customers until they get you to do what they want you to do - All FOR THE BENEFIT OF CAPITAL ONE BANK AND NOT THE CUSTOMER!

After trying to work through a payment schedule supporting my daughter who lost her husband, is unemployed and the mother of four children under 12, I am too exhausted to write the details of this horrid company.

On 3/244/15 I called Capital One Credit Card Division at 1:15 pm as instructed by an email from them regarding a fraudulent charge. The initial customer representative wanted to speak to the primary cardholder, who is unable to speak due to health. I explained that information to Capital One representative and stated the charge was fraud and please take the steps necessary to secure my account; adjust, freeze or close - I don't care. Just protect my account. He still insisted on speaking to the primary cardholder. At that point we had been on the call for 26 minutes. I requested a supervisor; he put me on hold for 57 minutes!! When the supervisor came on the line we had the same conversation to no avail. I will close my accounts. I will not pay one cent for any fraud.

I have called Capital One multiple times, asking for status updates because I cannot access the account but even though it was flagged for security - they withdrew the $10k from my grandmother's checking account. So, the money was hostage.
During this process, I received an email that we needed to contact them or risk the account being closed. I called and then had my 95yr old grandmother call (even though she is easily confused - hence why I'm DPOA). She was told everything was good to go. Now, on 3/23/2018, I received an email saying the account is closed and the funds will be sent back because "they haven't heard from us". Ironic, right? I call again. They tell me the department that validates the Agent/Conservator form is understaffed and way behind schedule. They will review my form about 1 month after I sent it to them. So, because they are behind schedule - the account was closed.
Bottom line, the Capital One process for a DPOA to open an account is disconnected, fragmented and not logical. Capital One could have cared less that I've had to call them 10+ times, done everything they've told me to do - yet they close the account because they are understaffed and behind. Makes sense! All I have to do now is call back in 4-5 days and see if the form has been processed. If so, I can go thru the entire process of trying to fund and re-open the account. In the meantime, my grandmother has missed out on 2+ months of interest and had her $10k held (making them money) while we wait for their process.

I have been a customer with Capital One for almost two years and I called in reference to a credit limit increase and had the worst customer service experience I have ever had. I was told that there was no one to talk to or ask questions about anything to do with a credit limit increase. I asked to speak to the supervisor and was put on hold for about thirty seconds and the same person came back on and said they were the supervisor and gave the same name, Kay, as the first person and had the exact distinctive accent. The pronunciation of her words were exactly the same. So I was lied to twice. I don't believe for a second that a company as large as Capital One doesn't have a dept for this and then for "Kay" to come back on the line and pretend to be the supervisor. It was really obvious that it was the same person, really obvious.
Updated on 05/12/2018: The company responded to my post asking for my contact info so we could work something out. I answered the message and so far no callback or anything. It's been a couple of weeks. I honestly think they just wanted it to appear like they were trying to resolve the issue. Worst customer service ever. Go with Credit One or your local bank never get a card from Capital One. Paying mine off and closing the account.

I have had this credit card for over ten years and it had been good for points and travel. Recently their customer service representatives are unreasonable, uninformed, and ignorant. In one instance my username was changed without my consent and they would not help me to access the account.

Capital One took money out of my account to open my secured credit card only to come back a week after taking the money from my account to say my account was flagged as fraud. On March 13th I called to see what I needed to do to get my account activated I was told only my driver's license was needed and it would be cleared up within 72 hours. On March 17th I had not heard anything from them so I gave them a call only to be hung up on twice before getting to the 3rd person and them telling me I needed to provide more information. While the representative was on the phone I sent a copy of my utility bill, bank statement to prove proof of address and also my social security card. Once again the representative was working to get everything approved. Everything was going fine and the representative hung up after having had me on hold for an extended amount of time.
I call back and the representative said they could not approve it because they could not read my social. It was “blurry”. I informed the rep that my card had been washed and that was as clear as I could get it. The signature on it matched my I.d. And you could see the numbers so I don’t get what the big deal was. I was told I needed to go get a new social security card and to call them back once I have it which would of course take another two weeks to get in the mail. If there was an issue it should have been resolved before the money was taken out of my account! I have closed my account and I now have to wait two months before I can receive my money back. Your company is a big RIP OFF! Who would want to spend their own money to open an account for someone else to help them build credit?? I’m beyond frustrated with the way you guys handle things!

Contacted Capital One to discuss interest charges added to statement. I contacted customer service last month to verify our payment had arrived because it had not been posted to our account on the due date. The representative confirmed receipt of check. It was not posted on the due date instead it was posted 1 day late. We were charged a late fee and interest on the previous month's average daily balance. I called again to discuss. Was informed that they apply payments the same day they received them and that no adjustments were available. So I set up auto payment for our next statement. I was nervous that the payment might not get posted on time because the only option for auto payments is on the actual due date, you cannot set the auto payment to pay early.
I checked online and was pleased that the payment was processed on time. Then I checked our account a few days later only to see that they charged us another interest fee. I called and was informed that they charge two months interest (residual fees they called it) for past due payments-supposedly clearly stated in the terms, which I could not find and even asked for a copy but they were not able to provide one. There are no grace periods as there are with other credit card businesses. So we have been charged two interest fees on two different average daily balance amounts because Capital One processed our payment 1 day late. By the way, this is the only time we have ever been late making a payment and we always pay our full statement balance. WILL NOT RECOMMEND CAPITAL ONE TO ANYONE EVER AGAIN! Very disappointed!

I never write reviews in a negative fashion, but Capital One has complete ** policies. I have had a card with them for many years, but have not purchased anything on their card for at least 5 years. I requested balance transfers. But they seemed to never have had a promotional rate. So now, as I am in the process of trying to purchase a home, they decide to cancel my card... No advance notice. In fact, they sent the letter in March that they closed the account in February. That simple move dropped my credit score at least 30 points... And dropped my FICO score category down one level.
I have always taken pride in the fact that I have paid EVERY bill EVER by its due date. I have no negative marks on my credit file except NOW the fact that CAPITAL ONE has canceled my card. This has completely thrown my credit ratios out of whack, as I had a fairly high credit limit with them. I would NEVER open another credit card with them, nor would I recommend anyone else do so. If you do... BEWARE!!!

This is a terrible credit card. It has a limit of $5k. That $5k limit is for both cardholders - my wife and I. That is $2.5k each. Ridiculous limit especially for booking any travel.

I have always made my payments on time and most of the time made two payments a month on both of my cards. I have requested twice now for a higher limit and I keep getting turned down...

I have now locked both of my cards. And will pay them both off next month with my bonus check. They should not treat customers that are loyal this way. I'm going on vacation and that's why I requested a credit increase. I am very disappointed with their services and will no longer require them.

A few months ago, Capital One has modified the website. Before the changes were made, I could select my language (French) and each time I was opening the website it was posted in French. Now, every time I access the Capital One website, the page always appears with US and English. Even if I choose Canada and French, and I click on "Remember me", it always comes back to United States and English. I am not able to keep my internet page on Canada and French.

On October 4 Capital One denied CC charges for fraud while in Fort Lauderdale. After contacting them they approved the charges. This cycle repeated itself 3x that day with each new purchase. Finally they acknowledged that the card was compromised. I decided to close my account because of poor customer service. They sent me a check for $1795 dollars for the remaining points I had accumulated. They refunded my annual fee. I was locked out of my account. Three charges appeared after the account was closed in the amount of $695. I was not notified until an email I received on December 26, 2016. Despite acknowledging this was their error and removing the late charges and interest expense for all charges associated with this late payment they reported the matter to all credit bureaus as a late payment.
My credit rating was 830 before and is 740 after as a result of this malicious act on their part. I have appealed to them and have an executive case file. Instead of accepting responsibility they have blamed me and seek to diminish my standing in the credit community. I had an account with them for over 5 years and paid every balance every month in full on time. This is the first of many actions I am going to take to expose them for their malicious consumer practices- they created this problem and retaliated against a top customer with a near perfect credit rating because I closed my account. All balances are paid in full. They refuse to acknowledge their error and remove the missed payment report to credit bureaus.

Capital One deactivated our credit card without warning while we were traveling because we had not paid the previous month's bill. The only reason we did not pay the bill was because it never arrived in the mail. Prior to the missed payment, we had paid our bill off in full every month for over 10 years. So yeah, we missed one payment, but what happened to the bill? And why no heads up before deactivating the card.
When we contacted Customer Service, they flat out refused to reactivate the card until we made a payment, a truly ** thing to do to people who are traveling and having to pay for hotels, gas, food, etc. And, BTW, we had over $50,000 in our Capital One 360 account at the time, so we were obviously good for it. So why make life needlessly difficult for your customers and treat them like garbage? We have since cancelled the Capital One credit card and closed our 360 account. Also, lesson learned. Now we keep two credit cards, in case one is deactivated without warning.

I received an offer in the mail that I was pre-approved (not pre-qualified) for QuicksilverOne with no interest the first 8 months. It was a classic, illegal bait and switch. I received the card, however they did not give me the promised 8 months with no interest, but conveniently failed to inform me of such. They further perpetuated the scam by not charging me interest the first month, making me think they were true to their word. So imagine my shock when there was interest charged on my second billing statement!
I called them and all they did was lie and give me the runaround. I even spoke to a supposed supervisor, and he was an ** as well. I explained that I'm a disabled widow, and cannot afford to pay interest, and that I never would've charged 85% of my credit limit if I had known there was going to be interest. The only reason I charged it up so high is because I was forced to move because a neighbor had tried to kill me several times. My credit record clearly shows that I DO NOT PAY ONE PENNY OF INTEREST, EVER!!! All of this fell on cold-hearted deaf ears. SERIOUSLY??!!
I paid my balance in full the next month to avoid any further interest fees. I also did not use the card again after their bogus, criminal interest charges. THEY CHARGED ME INTEREST AGAIN THIS MONTH, ON A ZERO BALANCE! Again I called, and, again, I got the run-around. Got transferred to a supposed supervisor, but I doubt it really was a supervisor, because it was a ** female who mumbled like she had marbles in her mouth. They were such **, I had to cancel my card. No attempt whatsoever on their part to make things right. No humanity, no scruples, no ethics. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COMPANY EVER! STAY AWAY!

When I called in to see why a representative told me that it should have been approved due to my account being a part of the password reset 2016 she told me to tell the security agent she was transferring me to. Well that explained why I had to reset my password for 3 months straight and I was never informed ahead of time. Also if you plan to overdraw your account and you intentionally do 5 small transactions and then a week later do one large transaction Capital One will process your transactions out of order to charge you 4 overdraft fees instead of one. Or will deny one large transaction but will allow you to make 4 small ones.
They told me three weeks ago they were closing my account due to me abusing my banking privileges. They waited until my disability went into account and now they are charging me a $20 to expedite the check yet they still haven't sent it and me and my three kids are now evicted due to not being able to pay my rent because they refuse to release my money to me. DO NOT BANK WITH THEM AT ALL. THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY.

Capital One spends millions of dollars to lure customers in and then doesn't take care of them. United Airlines put on 2 charges of $700.00 each on my card that I did not know about, I was not informed of the charges and I did not authorize them. I charge over $100,000 per year on my Capital One card and I have a $50,000 credit line on the card and I verified that I had not authorized the charge and Capital One still charged me. I disputed it and gave Capital One all of the information and they still let United Airlines charged me. I have now cut up my business and personal cards with Capital One and I am now switching to a Chase card.

Had a Capital One Credit card for many years. Always have some balance in the card. I used it a lot! I paid off my balance. Changed my password and moved one time. They (Capital One credit card service) put a restriction on my card without notifying me of any restriction. How embarrassing if I was going to use the card in public and would be declined. I called customer service and always get a strong accents rep. That individual did nothing for me so asked for a supervisor. Another very strong accent. Why? Anyway, they tell me that my card was restricted because I updated my address and changed my password and I needed to go to a bank to verify my identity. If not send copies of license, social security card, utility bill, etc.
Ok so I moved one time in several years update my password one time and paid my balance and now for the first time in being harassed with all this garbage of identity. Never had I have any issues with this card or others but as soon as there is no balance they harass me. I request to close the account and guess what!! They did that immediately without any verification!! Why? Need to verify to use the card but don't need to verify to close the account. It's like they did not even care! So I went through and closed the account.
There are many other legit bank credit cards that are far superior to Capital One credit card services. They are mean, rude and very broken English. They do not take care of their long term customers and had no care in the world that I closed my account. I would not ever recommend Capital One credit card services to anyone! Ever! Too many other options. What happened to good customer service where they are respectful and care about their customers??

Miserable customer service. Tried to get online banking to set up business online today. Their instructions on their site very clearly say "or put in account number"...didn't work. Tried calling. 3 hours on hold various numbers... called my local branch who directed me to the same damn number. NOT THEIR DEPT. 3 hours later I decided to try and activate the new debit card they gave me. Called the number automated voice says PIN number and account don't match... transferred to person... explain. She tells me the online banking "oh, it says put account number but that won't work, you have to use social security number."
EXCUSE ME. WHAT THE FREAK DOES IT SAY PUT IN ACCOUNT NUMBER. 3 PLUS HOURS. Next... she tries to activate my card. "Oh, you'll have to go into the branch for the pin... but I HAVE A PIN I PUT IN at that very branch." She then proceeds to DEACTIVATE THE CARD THAT I HAVE AND ACTIVATE THE NEW ONE WHICH I CAN'T USE WITHOUT THE PIN. So now... have no way to pay for my parking tonight since I cannot get cash thanks to this freaking stupid bank.

This week my accounts at Capital One were close with no prior warning or reason. I called customer service and they couldn't give me any clarification. I assume the reason was due to inactivity on the accounts, but if that is the case I would have appreciated a warning. I had been a customer about 7 years and I had a sizeable amount in the savings account. I would never recommend this bank to anyone. Horrible practice and clueless customer service.

Capital One froze my deposit accounts for over 2 months without even informing me citing suspicious activity. While I respect them taking due diligence to prevent fraud, I would expect them to inform the customer before making that stupid decision. In addition, once they verified the suspicious transaction, I was told my account would be closed and I would be getting my money via check. Obviously, I suspect racial profiling and feel bad that at this age and time big organisations like Capital One would act in such disgusting manner. I sure would never do business with them anymore. Potential customers RUN AWAY from this bank. They are a mess. Note: My accounts were frozen for just a $2000 Walmart to Walmart transfer I made to my friend in PA.

Last Thursday I applied for a credit card via the recommendation of Credit Karma. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE EVER. Thursday after applying online I received a link to take a photo of my ID. It kept saying it didn't recognize it. I gave up. Friday, I got a call from a rep and I explained what happened on Thursday. He sent another link. Tried it with him several times. Said he received it and would try to manually upload but wasn't able to. Before advising me on other options he says, "I'll deny this application due to lack of documentation". Here's the kicker, he then tells me I can reapply and to fax my documents. WTF!!!
I'm like so you deny the application which gets reported to the credit bureau and now you're telling me to reapply and fax the documents. I asked, "Why wouldn't you make that suggestion before denying the application?" I asked, "Why wouldn't you say well since the link doesn't work, fax the documentation and then we'll process the application." Now is it just me or is that the most asinine thing to do? I mean seriously, I have a hard inquiry and denial on my credit because a Capital One representative was too stupid to think of giving me the option to fax the documents and then process the application... and you think I would want to still do business with you? I sent an email to the following **.
I got an email back from an email with the name of Capital One Web Information. Which by the way, was a uniformed generated email. Whether that went to a person or not I just replied I'm not interested in any further dealings with your company. Which in my opinion adds insult to injury because even if I'm not a customer, a company that's interested in gaining more customers rather than word of mouth bad reviews would reach out to that person via phone and not via email. Big companies forget that more than 90% of people won't complain but will tell about 20 people about their bad experience with the company.
Now with social media, well that negative experience gets shared with even more people. All I know is, I will NEVER deal with Capital One ever again and anyone who mentions them I would strongly advise against. Because if my experience shows the competence and intelligence of their reps (which we as customers will be mainly dealing with), then I'd really hate to see what happens if there is a problem with your account.

There are many credit cards, but Capital One is known for no foreign transaction fee and that's why we got the card in the first place, to use it on our trips. Called the company before the trip abroad, were assured that it would be ok because the card had a chip. Get to the foreign country and the card gets declined every time. So we call Capital One and they tell us they can't unblock the card because they are protecting us. Seriously!
After much deliberation on the phone, they unblock the card. We had to make an emergency medical purchase, which was quite large, but way in line with the credit limit. Try to use the card - blocked again. Call again (at least good thing we had wifi calling) - they are still protecting us from fraud and would not unblock the card. After 20 minutes on the phone, still can't use the card and now it's blocked for both small and large purchases - supposedly for our protection. What's the point of using the stupid card if you don't have access to your money when traveling? Canceling the card, withdrawing funds from our accounts and looking for a new credit card with no foreign transaction fee.

Hello my name is Alfreda **. I've been with Capital One since November of 2011. I have always made my payments on time and I'm in good standing with Capital One. My credit limit is $1,500. It took seven years to get there. In 2017 Capital One offered me $35,000 to buy a car from Kia or Hyundai. These were my only choices so I passed. I didn't think Capital One should choose my car. In March of 2018 I want to go to Ashley furniture store and buy me a bedroom set. I saved up $4,000 and I was $3,000 short so I ask Capital One for increase on my Capital One credit card. They told me No. Come November of 2018 I will be with Capital One for 8 years and I have never asked them for increased in all this time. So much for loyalty.
Capital One would rather loan me $35,000 for a car I don't want before increase my credit card limit to $3,000 for a bedroom set. I guess they feel like I should just keep sleeping on the floor. Now that my credit card is paid off I will never use this credit card again or would I recommend Capital One to anyone. I feel like Capital One is being bias in this situation. If I'm in such good standing and a loyal customer why couldn't you give me a $3,000 increase on my credit card. I know a lot of people who have unlimited credit line with Capital One and they file bankruptcy???⭐

Being proactive, I called Capital One today to notify their company of a family holiday to CUBA. Their response is it cannot be used. The response is because the parent company is a US Company and we are unable to utilize our credit card. Their advice is to take out extra cash. Ironically. I called my emergency credit card company who is also US based notified me that the card can be used. The reason is because they operate in Canada. They cannot restrict access to CUBA and US Government does not govern travel for Canadians. Anyways, just another hurdle. So for anyone planning a trip to CUBA go to another credit card company.

They give you credit, and you use it and before you even make to your first statement you are restricted because of fraud that isn't. In the first week anything I tried to purchase with this card was declined for fraud, had to call like 3 or 4 different times to unblock - You can trust or rely on its availability, thank God was not on a vacation away from home. Lastly I had car repaired and was going to pay with my card, it was declined. The charge was well below not even a third - so in other words I had plenty of available credit - so I call again this time they say it's restricted. I have to send in ID and bill of bank statement and social security card copy front and back.
I wish they had alerted me but they did not just left me hanging. Second time trying them, there will not be a third. And their customer service and foreign fraud department are cold. At first was really upset and disappointed but wanted to channel that in a way to help others of their shenanigans. What's in your wallet, burning like a bad flame? Capital One? Do NOT rely on them for trips/vacations, they will without notice leave you in a bind that could have you facing jail because you were expecting to use your Capital One card for a service to only find out it's restricted - after the service has been rendered to you.

We had a CC declined for $16.00, which had a $20,000 limit, with current balance of $2,700, which has since been paid. When I called the bank about the decline, they said all my cards were on fraud alert, due to the Savor Card restriction. After several calls to the bank, I ask them to just cancel the Savor Card, as I have plenty other cards. This was after my several contacts with customer service, over the past week. I was informed that they would just cancel all my Credit Cards. I agreed, as I was tired of being jacked around. Yes, just an account number, with zero effort for customer retention.

After getting my credit score up through careful use of my credit cards and loans, I asked for an increase to the paltry $700 limit they allowed me as a teen. I understand why the limit was low back then, but I'm 30 now and my credit score is usually between 780 and 820. They denied my request to increase the limit. My other cards allow me limits between 5k and 10k and I keep the balance on them below 10% to optimize my credit score but I couldn't even buy groceries with a limit of only $70 to keep it under 10% usage. So I had planned on waiting a few months and asking again when my score was better, but they closed my account this month with no warning.
I lost a credit card with a 10 year history because they wouldn't increase my limit to a usable amount without taking negative hits to my credit score. And they wouldn't increase the limit because I didn't use it enough. I hated them as a teen because they would hit me with nickel and dime fees constantly and the only reason I kept them this long was for the credit history boost. But when I called them they informed me that once an account is closed it cannot be reactivated. In a small part I'm glad to be rid of them, but I'm also angry that my credit score took a bump down because of their stupidity. Hassle free? They're the biggest hassle of any creditor I've ever had to deal with!

I just wanted to use their services but I'd just be happy to get my security back and I'll go get a different card?? This is a joke. Took my kids mother about 11 days in total from the day she applied and she had her card. It's been 3 weeks with me and my info seems to be misplaced or something?? They use overseas customer service. Who clearly just put me on hold 6 times in a row to NOTHING so it's a clear sign they are a tad shady. Yeah let's let them know all our credit info!!!

I am in an experience where Capital One put my payments into someone else's acct. They then restricted my acct due to non-payment. When the situation was fixed (months and months later) the acct was never unrestricted. I had to get my credit fixed as well due to this mistake made on Capital One's end (which never really got restored where it was due to Capital One's mistake). I was told they would unrestrict my acct, but even after speaking with someone today, they will not unrestrict it due to the nonpayment that was on the acct (which was their mistake). So, now the money in the rewards bank... I cannot get to because of the restriction. I had a big issue years ago with Capital One again, and aside from my better judgment, I gave the company another chance. Bad decision. All they do is take your money, ruin your credit, and tell you there is nothing that can be done.

Not one person has been able to answer any of my questions. I have set up the payment catch up plan several times and paid extra on top of my monthly payments several times, yet somehow I am never actually caught up and no one can tell me why. They transferred me to someone in an "executive office" but still she was unable to actually help or tell me what exactly was going on with my account. The staff is lazy and no one wants to actually solve anything. If I owe money I am more than happy to pay it, but because I just keep paying more and continue to be behind without someone being able to explain why I will most certainly be taking my business elsewhere, and seeking legal counsel from a lawyer.

DO NOT USE CAPITAL ONE! They Flipping Suck!! I am beyond infuriated with my first experience trying to redeem my reward points. I tried last night to book a trip with my available rewards and kept getting an error message to call their support number. I decided to circle back around this morning thinking the system would be fine.
I tried again this morning, the flights were still available with same pricing and the car rental fee went down. Of course, when I go to submit my reservation I get the same error as I did last night. When I called the support number they proceeded to tell me that I needed to pay a $50 booking fee... WHAT? Keep in mind that during all this, the flights were available at the same price as last night except for the rental car going down in price by $30 (in most cases this is exciting news, right?). Nope, not with Capital One!
As I am on the phone with Capital One I explain my frustration then voice my complaint. I was then transferred to the rewards department where they told me that they need to transfer me back to the department I was just talking to. So, I get another incompetent representative on the phone who is telling me that the flight is no longer available. Well that is funny because I am looking at the flight on multiple sites! Clearly, it is still available and it is still available. After literally multiple hours of dealing with this ** the flights and rental car with my rewards went from $83 out of pocket to over $300 out of pocket. I am beyond pissed! Capital One is a joke! I will not recommend them to anyone. You get pure runaround and no service! I will be changing to a Southwest Card where I know I will be taken care! Screw you Capital One!

Beware Capital One’s card customer service and fine print. They are happier to lose a customer than to try to make a customer happy. Also be careful to note that payments after a certain time on your due date (I won’t say the time here in case it were to change or be different for someone potentially reading this post) are still considered late and assessed a late fee. So having a mobile app to pay 24/7 really isn’t that helpful when you go to pay the evening of your due date and find that your payment is already late. So much for 24/7 convenience. If you have to call customer service, they aren’t going to try to keep you either. They’ll be happy to close your account and move on to the next person who doesn’t mind being treated poorly. Needless to say my card is closed now. Save your time and get a card from someone who lets you pay on your due date and values you as a customer. It’s not Capital One.

How many others were promised a flat 9% rate after the 12 month introductory period. I received a call from a listed Capital One number that had all my personal account information and told me after I paid the account down to a zero balance at 11 months, that if I kept the account open they would set it at 9%. So the next month I took my daughter to Disney World for vacation to only find out after getting the next bill in the mail it wasn't 9% but 29%.
Now being a electrician that has helped set up servers with companies I asked them for IT support because I still had the call in my phone history only to be ran around and getting a supervisor saying they have never offered anything like that. Not even looking into the time/date/stamp of the conversation. The company is nothing but lies. 1.5 years and multiple calls and now turned over to a collection attorney.

On December 28, 2017, I submitted a payment for $923.09. This was the total amount due at that time. On December 29 2017, I had surgery on the cervical portion of my spine. On January 3, 2018, I received notice from Capital One that my payment had been returned. When asked why, they stated that I input the checking account number wrong and that is why my bank refused it. I have spent over seven hours of my time in the last five weeks, which included two trips to my bank, a conference call while at the bank and multiple calls to Capital One from home.
First I was told that the information needed to clear their system and it would take 3-4 days, then it was more phone calls and 8-10 days and now it's 12 days and I still can't pay my bill. I paid the bill out of my business account last month. My bill is due on the 14th and it looks like I will have to pay with my business account again. I am supposed to be recovering to go back to work. If I make a mistake, I am penalized with fees and increased interest. What are my seven hours worth? The original statement from Capital One doesn't even make sense. How did they shut down the right account if I input the wrong numbers?
The bottom line is, you will not get any real customer service while a company is protecting where they stand with their format and procedures even if it is wrong and hurts a person. I would also like to note that I kept my composure through all of this and can understand how Capital One can manipulate those who don't. In short, I think that Capital One is suspect in many ways for how they do business. Why won't the rating section allow me to give them less than one star? They don't deserve even one.

I opened up a claim on both eBay and Capital One which eBay made a judgment in my favor but explained that nothing could be done about shipment charges due to the fact that capital one was in the process disputing it with PayPal. I called and asked for assistance from capital one and was told to keep the merchandise on hand even though eBay said I could return it because they were disputing it, well time passed and capital one reapplied the charges and basically said, "Oh well we didn’t tell you that" even after I supplied all the documentation that judgment from eBay was in my favor.
Then on 12/11/17 said how they again reversed the transaction which I thought was the last of it until... Fast forward to 02/01/18 I received a call from another brick of their company looking into this again. Which now no 02/08/18 the charges have been reapplied. I hope this makes it to as many people as possible as this is the worst company to do business with. With a simple search and accordance to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Capital One is consistently rated amongst the worst since the bureau opened its doors. I highly recommend everyone to stay away from this company as they are only looking to rip you off which sounds a lot like your everyday thief.

If you're looking for help to re-establish your credit, I wouldn't suggest this company. This company has been a nightmare for me. I've seen some unorganized, contrary people before, but these people take the cake. I paid my accounts on time every single time and suddenly I get locked out of my accounts and can't get back in. Not even to make a payment. Due to what they say was a "fraud alert". I have no idea what happened but I'm glad I paid both of my accounts off. I'm just saying. As long as it was working it was fine but when this happens, you can pretty much kiss your card goodbye because no matter whether you're paying on it or not, once they do this, there seems to be no way out. Too many foreigners to talk to. Too many people that don't seem to know what they're doing.
It sure didn't help my credit I can tell you that much. Thankfully I have other cards and credit and my score was decent or this could have been disastrous for my credit. I see many other people are having the same problems. Do what you want, but personally I won't ever deal with them again. I think maybe they're going bankrupt themselves or something and now they're shutting down what they consider to be "Risky" accounts. I don't know why they chose me to hit on because my credit score is good and I don't have any late payments but for whatever reason they did this to me, I won't recommend them. It's just wrong the way they handle business.

I tried several times and have been locked out 4 months in a row. I have never missed a payment in 20 years. But due to the new website I was unable to make a payment in December. I tried to call customer service and was put on hold forever. Finally I had to hang up for work and decided to try again later. NO ONE ever contacted me regarding this payment until the next month. Only by this time they dinged my credit report.
Once again for the 4th time I am locked out and it took half an hour to get any help. Regardless of the lack of a courtesy call, their website locking me out and my 20 year standing they refused to reverse the credit report hit stating I just didn't make a payment.

I told them they needed to reopen the claim because it's easy to verify seeing as the ATM has a camera and so does the Target the ATM was located at.
Now they're saying the ATM doesn't even exist and basically trying to call me a liar and saying they do thorough investigating!!! All they would have to do is walk into the Target and see that it's right there, this is not a 3rd party ATM this is a Capital One full service ATM!!! The customer service reps are absolutely horrible and have insinuated more than once that I am lying. I have been with this bank for 10+yrs and am appalled that they would pull something like this.

Being a young adult, not a lot of Credit Card companies would accept me. Young naive me sent one in for Capital One, I was accepted.

I of course used it for books and stuff for college, buy now, pay later when I had the money. Fast forward a year and here I am, now in shock as I finally do the calculations. I have to pay a certain min amount each month, a little more if I feel like I'm doing good that month, and behold as I slowly come to realize for every min amount I put in, their interest is so high, it's about half of that min payment that is put back on once the interest hits every month. Yes, EVERY MONTH THEY CHARGE ME HALF OF WHAT I PUT IN.
I do not touch this card anymore in fear of this tactic. You spend $200? Stick to the min payments and in the end you will be paying them $400+. I'm still a struggling College student so all I can afford is the min payment right now, so seeing this send me into so much grief.

Because for the past 2 years I noticed that the card no longer has an annual fee and I am in good standing to have my credit balance increased. Why is it that I am not in good standing when it comes to removing the annual fee? I spoke to a supervisor today, bc I was tired of hearing so many different explanations from other reps.
He also informed me that there are no criteria to be considered by Capital One for this request and that there were offers that could potentially have this fee removed but that as of now - (after several years of me paying this fee!) - the offers available for me were not to my liking? Really? So all I could think of were all of those customers paying this fee millions and millions and how convenient it is for this institution to not want to give it up! These were the options I was given: Apply for a NEW card with no annual fee, which would not help someone like myself who is trying to build credit/since opening too many accounts or closing accounts would only hurt my credit.
And ultimately yes the offer not to my liking. LOL. To upgrade to another card Quicksilver One with same high-apr 24% same annual fee $39 and a rewards program of 1.5. Do the Math! while I agree this is a good card to start with, Capital One should also take into consideration the removal of the annual fee upon their credit increase review! Thank you!

Called back. Spoke to a rep who could not figure out was wrong with my account. She had me run through their steps to make a new pin after I explained I just did this. She wanted me to do it again. I laughed and said no. I explained in detail what the site was going to say and do. She asked me to do it anyway, to be nice I did, she could not explain what was happening so she had to transfer me to another rep. The next rep explained that I had to have account more than 60 days to create my own pin but she said they would send a generated one in 7 -10 days for this pin.

They removed the charge again. They just put the charge back on b/c UPS said they delivered it to my front door... no signature. So now I am charged $500 and Capital One Master Card said "Oh well." You have to prove you didn't receive it and even then they can't do anything. Four months later I am suppose to contact the police to find my box. How do you prove a negative??? Sorry...

For every since I had my auto loan I have been getting my payments either delayed or flat out rejected/refused even when I had the money for the payments. I had myself set up since last October of 2017 For automatic payments and now I'm finding out that that I am in default on my loan. Even worse when I called them. They yelled at me for being a ** male and called me all kinds of derogatory things and hung up on me. I'm going to lose my much-needed car for sure.

My boyfriend and I recently traveled to Italy and had an issue with a $150 charge from a taxi service we never took in September 2017. Fast forward to Jan 2018 and we are still no closer to resolving the issue than we were when it arose. Back in Sept, my boyfriend called Capital One and disputed the fake charge as soon as he noticed it back in the States. We ended up getting a letter back from Capital One saying they sided with the merchant because we didn't send any documentation! How could we send documents over the phone?? So we called again and they suggested appealing the decision with documents over email.
So we did as they told us and we just got correspondence back for our appeal saying they already determined their decision to rule with the merchant... Nothing about how it was an appeal and nothing about all the documents we attached trying to prove we did not receive any service from the merchant. Overall, this has been the worst experience I've ever have had with a dispute!!! I've never had any other one of my credit cards side with a merchant when the customer NEVER RECEIVED A SERVICE whatsoever!!! Wake up Capital One! I'll be cancelling my card ASAP!

My first payment was made on time but returned due to the payment being applied wrong. I was told by a Supervisor in April that since Capital One Process the payment wrong, it would not affect the status on my account.

I was told because I missed a payment that I would be review in the 8th month from when I open the card provided I made all payments on time. This is not what I was told when I opened the account, but I was willing to wait. In December of 2017 I was given a increased credit limit. Now two weeks later, Capital One closed my account.

Don't get this card unless you want every vendor in your city to think you don't pay your bills, or if you actually need to rely on a card. We've been card members for over a decade and they continue to randomly deny charges and/or put a hold on our card, for things we've purchased before, for amounts that are well within our limits and spending patterns. When we call them, they tell us "Just call before you make big purchases." Here's a shocker - we don't want to call you every time we buy something. And, on an account where we regularly rack up thousands of dollars a month in purchases, a $300 appliance is not a "big purchase". They've also screwed up our account to the point where we now need "extra security measures" every time we call them.
These measures are necessary for a problem that they admit they caused. It's also clear that even though this card includes an annual fee, don't expect decent service. The first line of folks who answer the phone, while usually friendly, can't actually do anything, and most often don't have English as their first language, making the discussion excruciating. Capital One *does* make it easy to cash in miles for travel. They just make it impossible to actually use the card. I guess all of their profits went to Sam Jackson ads rather than improving the product.

I opened a Capital One bank account for a few different reasons. They just built and opened a new branch near me and there were a few other branches not far from my residence. I already had a credit card and wanted to maximize earning points towards travel. They were offering a one year free safety deposit box. Things were okay for a while. Then they decided to start closing the branches around me. The customer service reps don't know bank policy. You call up three different times with the same issue and you get three different answers. Finally the third time the issue gets resolved. They left one branch opened like 20 minutes to half hour away depending on traffic. Since it's the ONLY branch in the whole region, I can never get a bank manager. There's none available. I don't have an hour to wait.
They did away with when I bank I get points toward travel. Which was my number one reason for opening a bank account with Capital One. In addition, the Venture card used to take off all travel expenses if I had the points. They changed that as well. Only air, Car rental and hotel. Which when I came back from Portugal vacation with over $500 in travel expenses they refused to apply the points. They instead rolled out a cash card. Never having warned loyal customers of the change in policy.
And now they want you to do all your banking online. I'm assuming that's why they closed down the branches near me. Well, a lot of the time when I try to bank online, the system is down and having problems. I'm just waiting for my children to return home from college and I plan to change to Chase. They have many close branches and I do my father's banking for him. There never seems to be a problem getting online. Capital One dropped the ball in customer service and banking services.

It's been almost close to a year and they still cannot figure out where they went wrong. I've proven it to them but having all these unprofessional youngsters working for them and laughing on the phone putting me on hold 4 hours has made this a nightmare. I have spoken to supposedly manager but to me they all seem to be high school students that really do not know how to treat matters that are very important to any consumer that has their credit on the line because of these mistakes. I have also read the other consumer complaints and I've noticed that this problem is a ongoing mistakes or maybe they're not mistakes. Maybe that's just the way this company works because I've seen other consumer reviews with the same problems same situations but in different states.
I was willing to even pay off my account 'cause that's what I always do. I don't ever make payments of monthly payments. I just paid all off so that I don't have to owe any money and I can use my credit card again. How is it that I have a $400 limit maximum limit and right now my bill is over $500. Does not make sense. I can understand if I would have like overdraft protection or if I would have a link bank account I can see that happening me going over but usually when I reached $400 it won't let me go any further. It all declined my purchase. Now they are claiming that I called for a dispute. I never called for the dispute yet they cannot tell me who entered the dispute or who created the dispute. They just tell me that I talked to spoke to manager which I did but I did not speak to the manager for dispute purpose.
I spoke to the manager to actually see what I can do because I knew that some money was going to be reversed to my account but it was going to take time and I needed that money immediately so they created they but it was going to take time and I needed that money immediately. So that manager was kind enough to give me $50 in which I quote she said it was going to be customer courtesy. I didn't have to pay it back. With that said she wasn't able to create a dispute because it wasn't a dispute. She was aware of that that money was going to be reversed so it's not a dispute. We hung up the phone. I had the $50 in my account which I am grateful for. Thank you. But then I receive my statement and it shows on the same date that the manager put the $50 into my account it shows as they had open a dispute claim without my consent nor knowledge of this dispute.
So they allegedly claimed that they reversed some cash into my account and that I was able to use it and that I used it for some purchases which is not true. Again I was never aware of this claim that they opened on their own will without my consent or knowledge. I've been on the phone with these people for hours and hours and never get to any conclusions because they're really rude and will even hang up on you. I've also requested to hear my record the recording where I requested a claim and they tell me that I will get a short notice to let me know when it's available. I've never got that noticed.
What I find really interesting is in the beginning of each phone call and let you know that you will be recorded for quality purposes and if you try to do the same for that to them they say no. They cannot take the call. They do not want to be recorded. I wonder why. Wonder what they're worried so worried about and I wonder why they will not take my call. And even if I ask him to speak to a manager that will take my call they say no that no one in this whole building will be able to take a call while they're being recorded yet they can record all your conversations for themselves.
So I think I'm going to take this to another level and let the news cast from my local news take care of this situation and make a little report on this credit card company that keeps wasting my time and never solving my issues. Maybe like this they will consider hiring more professionals rather than these high schoolers from people that are just trying to do their hours for community services because that's what it seems like they're hiring. Is she considered people that are more serious and realize that this is an important issue because it can affect people's credits which I'm sure they probably don't even care about or have. Now if anybody from the Consumer Affairs can do something about this I would appreciate it. And you can also look at my account. I'll let you authorize you to look through my statements and see what kind of payments I was making.
I'm not a person that makes late payments. I was a person that makes full amount of payments but when you have an amount that's over your maximum it puts my red flag. Oh and last but not least I can surely and most definitely guarantee that they write notes for every one of the phone calls in which the year when your number pops out they get to see all your account and notes and they automatically have an attitude without even saying hello yet they're already giggling or have some kind of attitude about whatever question you have. So do not go through Capital One especially if you're the type of person that doesn't really check your statements or doesn't have time to be on the phone for hours arguing about something you did not authorize nor were you aware of.

Last time when we had to change the password again it looked liked it worked, but then another window open with note: "The specified URL cannot be found". It takes too much time just to figure out my balance??? My husband left and I ended up calling customer service for my balance.
They have voice auto attendant system, maybe it good, but only if customers are presented with a clear, natural and brand-consistent voice. If you have some background sounds it's not working, so after 3-4 attempts I was transferred to a customer rep. Due to me not being a primary card holder I could not verify my balance to pay out, only the primary card holder was able to hear this amount. Probably it was not very important that I can use the same account for spending, but definitely I can't pay the balance! Summary: Spend long time to access online account with not successful password change and calling customer service- "resolved" by not getting the balance, not able to transfer money to pay my debt most likely penalties for the late payment.

I have had a 20K credit limit and have always had an excellent credit rating and paid anything owed on time. Because I haven't spent on Credit lately - Capital One lowered it by $10K! When I called them - the manager said "it's because we are a conservative company" (as if my zero balance was high risk!) The employees and management were completely clueless as to the reason they actually do things. The other line was "It's because it's our policy" - so no one knows the real reasons for the bank's decisions. I don't recommend them.

Do not get a credit card with Capital One - They don't try and help anyone. I went through Hurricane Harvey and they would not refund a late fee during this period because I wasn't "eligible". Terrible, just terrible.

Went to pay bills today and my account password isn't working. So I tried it three times and then the system locked me out. Which is weird because I know I was using the right password. I use the same password for everything. I then call Capital One who proceed to tell me that even though they have my Social Security number, my birthday and all of my information that I’m able to verify they can’t verify me unless I give them my license number, which is now different from the license I had when I signed up for years ago. Long story short without that number they are unable to verify me and I am completely locked out of my account and my money for the weekend.

I am writing to express my disappointment in how my very simple request was handled today. My request for a credit limit increase on a Capital One credit card that, for the past number of years, has been on pre-authorized debit to pay the balance owing in full each month was declined for no comprehensible reason. What a shabby way to treat customers who generate little to no revenue. Shame on Capital One Canada.

I do not recommend banking with Capital One. I went to file a BBB complaint & a note asked that consumers first contact a specific individual in the Capital One Office of the President. Going that route, Capital One ended up stringing me along for several weeks, until I gave them a deadline and said if they hadn't corrected the issue by a certain date, I would file suit. The rep, Leiah, contacted me by my deadline and stated they would be crediting my account the $300 in losses their actions cost me. One week later, Leiah went silent, and I got a call from another employee, David, who stated Capital One would NOT be crediting me the $300 they cost me.
I am not happy about the headache and time a lawsuit is going to cost me. I'd made a $10,000 transfer from my Capital One account. My account was valid, the deposits verified and confirmed. The money had been transferred. The transfer was part of a promotion from M&T Bank that would award me $250 if I kept it in the account for "X" months.
When I got my M&T statement, it showed I had 51 cents in my account. Without my knowledge or permission, Capital One reversed the transfer several days after It had already been transferred. NO NOTICE WHATSOEVER. And for 10 days, my $10,000 was totally missing from BOTH accounts due to this transfer (thank God there wasn't an emergency and I needed access to my money).
Then, to add insult to injury, because Capital One reversed my funds without telling me, M&T imposed two $25 fines for having a balance fall below $10,000. The people answering Capital One's customer service line lied to me and made up stories about the transfer, which I was able to disprove, through concrete evidence. Then, Leiah in the Office of the President strung me along for several weeks using all the right language, assuring me this would be resolved. By my deadline, she eventually confirmed they'd looked at all of information and would be reimbursing me the $300 in losses they cost me.
After a week of checking my account and noticing the funds never arrived, I received a call from someone else at Capital One (David) stating they would NOT be crediting my account the $300. David stated it was because I supposedly had the option to transfer the $10,000 back to the M&T account to avoid the $25 fees. I explained to him what Leiah had indicated she clearly understood: That I could not have re-transferred funds that I was unaware had ever been removed from my account.
One $25 fine had been imposed before I ever knew Capital One had taken my 10 grand, and by the time I found out, I was in another bank cycle, and by the bank terms, another $25 would already be imposed for that cycle (though it had not yet shown on my bank statement, since the cycle had not ended). I then hung up on David, as I am done with Capital One wasting my time. The only reason my account is still open is so that I have access to my records for the lawsuit.

I disputed a charge that was inaccurately described. I opened up a claim on both eBay and Capital One. eBay made a judgment in my favor but explained that nothing could be done due to the fact that Capital One was in the process disputing it. I called and asked for assistance from Capital One and was told to keep the merchandise even though eBay said I could return it because they were disputing it, well time passed and Capital One reapplied the charges and basically said, “Oh well we didn’t tell you that,” even after I supplied all the documentation. This is the worst company to do business with.

I paid my full balance on Dec 6, 2017 and the same day they charged me interest rates for the amount due that I had just paid off for the credit card, called twice and both representative gave me two different stories, these people are full of BS.

I got my card about 8 months ago and my card has been hacked twice now. My card got hacked less than 3 months after I received my card and again today (12/7/17). Both times the card was used for online purchases. At least this time they blocked the charge. But are you kidding me? Getting hacked even once is a joke. I have had cards from 10 years ago that have never been hacked. This is such a pain to have to reconnect all my accounts that I have put on auto-pay with this card. If it happens again I'm switching to a different company. Not worth having to go through this hassle every few months.
Pros: You get a lot of points (have yet to use it and see if they even honor the points), my credit limit is 15k, get alerts instantly when I make purchases. I have set this to a very low amount so if my card gets hacked I will know. Cons: Got hacked 2 times in 8 months, interest rate is outrageous at 24% even though I pay my entire balance off each month (they increased it from 20% to 24% recently).

I booked a flight via Capital One Travel using points and also $371.00 and had to cancel due to Hurricane Irma. Their policy was that if you call to cancel within 24 hours of booking, you will get a full refund. I called within the 24 hr time period multiple times and was continually left on hold for over an hour each time. Finally, went to bed, called the next morning and they apologized but phones were busy due to Irma but will not get a refund and they would not return my points. After telling them I would have to close my account, they said they didn't care since they are not Capital One but rather a third party. HORRIBLE company and cannot believe Capital One uses them for their travel. Shame on Capital One and Capital One Travel. Will NEVER use this company for anything.

I have always made above the minimum payment, paying through my bank account, all of a sudden two payments returned for unknown transaction, lol. Funny part is I have been using the same bank account to make payments for a year, so long story short, they restricted my account indefinitely and I owe more than my credit limit, which I have never gone over. I am not upset because It could have been worst. I will pay this off and good riddance, I have another account with them, so I'm going directly to the local branch close this account and never look back. This is a scam.

This company is garbage. Stay far far away. Go through anyone else. We literally have been customers for over six years, and as soon as there is one little hiccup, these minions won't help you out. My wife forgot to put auto payment to her new bank account and they tried to take money out of our old account. The problem with this is we already paid the monthly minimum prior to this occurrence. Now, these soulless cretins won't immediately put money onto our account when our car has broke down and we need a credit card to rent the car I booked. Six ** years and we already paid! I hate this company and I hope it gets sued to death. I will jump on that bandwagon. SCREW YOU CAPITAL ONE!

Signed up for a credit card at the beginning of August 2017. Waited a month the card never showed up... I got the card issued 2 times after that and it never showed up so I kept calling for them to remain it. I cancelled the card and they were supposed to send me my security funds back and they never did so I called them at the end of September. They were suppose to send my funds then I called them October 13th cause they still were not there so I called and got them to remain it again and it never showed up in November... Then I called today December 5th and it's still not here and the person I talked to said they would reissue it... ** I want my money... The worst customer service and experience ever. Does not help that every person I talked to doesn't speak English properly and when asked to speak to a manager I got told there was none to talk to. Now I am getting a lawyer involved.

In August, 2017, I disputed a charge by a merchant due to their failure to perform house cleaning duties I hired them to do. Initially, I sent in screenshots of text messages exchanged with the merchant wherein they admitted they failed to perform the duties, not once but twice and they even offered a free carpet cleaning service after the second incident. These screenshots were sufficient enough for Capital One to issue a "temporary" credit to my account. The merchant then submitted documentation which resulted in the charge being applied to my card again. (I have asked for this documentation twice, once was in writing, and I have yet to receive anything.)
In October, 2017, I was told by Capital One that I needed additional documents, which included a second opinion from another cleaning company. By this time, I had already cleaned the house myself and moved in so I asked the representative how I was supposed to get a second opinion and I was advised to send in a detailed letter along with date-stamped photos I had of the failed work. I then provided a detailed letter addressing each bullet point along with the date-stamped photos and the previously provided screenshots of text messages, and it was still insufficient.
I had a very uneasy feeling so I decided to pay off the entire balance owed in anticipation of Capital One not issuing a refund. I spoke to a representative yesterday (12/04/17), I was told Capital One insisted that I obtain a second opinion! I immediately closed the account. I have had this account for approximately 8 years and only 1 late payment due to being evacuated for a hurricane and Capital One sided with a merchant over their own customer. Apparently it is very simple for a merchant to charge the account but they make it practically impossible for the customer to right a wrong!!

I'm going to cut to the CHASE here (ironically I'm switching back to CHASE BANK) - this is the most irritating bank account I have ever had. Every time I pay the rent or my credit cards or even swipe my card to make a purchase they take the money out, then it shows as a pending transaction, and it tells me the "available balance" but then, they put the money back into the account where it doesn't show like you ever made those transactions at all. A few days later it goes back to pending and you have a different "available balance" because we went on with your life assuming that your initial available balance under pending is what you have to spend.
THEN it finally posts. But the thing is that if you do not have the money by the time it goes back to pending, it overdrafts the account because. I have never had this type of problem with Wells Fargo or Chase. For example, let me give you my current situation: (assuming that I have 1400 on my account) On November 30th, I made a payment for rent with the total of 1200. When I made that payment, it showed on my checking account as a pending transaction, therefore, I was able to see how much money I had left in order for me to know how much I could spend (200).
So, I go about my day and spend 10 in fast food, $5 in ice cream and $20 in gas for my vehicle, which should leave me with $165. The day after that I spend $65 on at a bar with a couple of friends which leaves me now with $100 in my account for me to be able to use. Right? WRONG!!! When going to my account two days later. I had an available balance of $1300 in my account but there was no such thing as pending transactions for the drinks the ice cream the rent or even the freaking gas I put on my vehicle. Obviously, this happened to me before so I transferred $400 from my savings to my checking to use. Because I DID NOT WANT MY ACCOUNT TO OVERDRAFT.
So, I now should be having on my account $100 remaining plus 400 and rent should be taken about with no problem. Right? WRONG! Now, rent is back in pending. Everything else has been taken away and whatever transaction I did from before rent and before my ice cream and drink is taken out. So I actually don't have what they said I had from the get-go. I have less so my freaking check bounced for rent. So basically $1200 DISAPPEARED and I'm gonna be late for rent plus the check bounce fee. Obviously, they close at this time so, I cannot fix my issue.
You going to have to read this a couple of times to understand because it is as confusing for me to understand it and know how much money I actually have in my account. It is ridiculous and annoying. I do not recommend this back to anyone even if they didn't have another option. I went ahead and took all my money out of my savings and as soon I get my direct deposit, I am done with Capital One banking.

This was my first credit card. I’ve had it for almost a year and it only has a $300 limit on it. I’ve CONTINUOUSLY asked for a credit limit increase which would go to $500. Which is more than enough for my emergencies. But every time they turn me down. It’s just funny that I can apply for a BRAND NEW credit card and instantly get a $1500 limit but I can’t get my limit raised to $500 on this one? Capital One customer support doesn’t help either. I’ve paid my bill on time every single month, my credit has even gone up almost 150 points! I am very displeased with this company and wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

After an hour and a half on the phone trying to report a fraudulent charge, I was told there was nothing I could do and that I just needed to make the balance current. I asked who I go to next and they said, “Hold please” and left me for another half hour. Once they returned I was told there was nothing they could do. I live in the United States and the charge happened in Hong Kong. Evidence was there and they would do nothing to help.

"Thank you for contacting Capital One about the credit card account number shown above. We looked into your claim and found that it is fraudulent." The above statement is what this stupid company wrote to me about a credit card I've been using in uninterrupted fashion for 25 years. I never contacted them to complain that the card was fraudulent, and no matter how many times I called to explain that they must have made a mistake, they in their infinite stupidity refused to believe me or re-activate my card. Eventually they told me I needed to submit a fraud form and include copies of my SSN card and driver's license. Huh?? To fix their mistake?? No thanks. If anyone from General Motors reads these reviews, this was a GM Rewards Card. Guess I won't be buying a GM car. Ever. "Capital One. What's not in your wallet?"
