I was told I had a valid dispute against Adam’s Vacations who I bought a flexible plane ticket from and who would not honor the flex. Emma, Capitol One Rep, verified that Adam’s Vacation violated their contract. Capitol One sold me the same ticket from Capital One's site. Then they backtracked, and said that Adam’s vacation’s proved that I did not buy a refundable ticket. So they charge me for both tickets. I never said it was refundable and they will not hear me nor look at the receipt, which so clearly reads that it was flexible. I won’t pay it, so now they have destroyed my credit because of their error. Thank you, Capitol One. We have no recourse over these huge conglomerates.

After applying with Capital One card and approval and receiving my card in the mail and paying on time, they decided to decrease my credit limit $500.00 without a call from Customer Service or letter in the mail. This company is a total scam and will close this account asap.

I really like my personal checking account and it’s very user friendly. But I just closed my Spark Business Cash select account. As a small business owner I do business occasionally but not continuously. As a result due to inactivity capital one lowered my credit limit twice. Capital One business cards do report both personal in business bureaus as I understand it. So my recommendation is that if you are a small business owner, try to go with American Express, or other. I am also an American Express business card owner since 1995. I’ve had high Credit lines with them and have never had my credit limit reduced due to inactivity Again, I like your personal checking service, but I would never get a business card with Capital One ever again. It was a mistake. To others -Think twice before you pick a capital one business Card. I will be Posting this review on other venues as I am able.

They offered me an upgrade to get reward points and cash back on an existing account. Never telling me I would have to give up my Photo card? I carry this card with me always. It has a picture of my children? I called to ask to keep this card and forgo the cash back and benefits to find out there is no way back? Just another scam from the mighty corporate dogs... Years of loyal credit usage, some interest even..i have great credit, other better cards but I used this one because of the picture...your loss Cap One... Bye!

Capital One started issuing Khols credit cards. I called to cancel to Khols credit card and Capital One closed not only the Khols credit card but they also closed my Capital One credit card. When I called to reinstate the Capital One credit card, I was told my Capital One card will be not reinstated, and my credit card will remain closed. Therefore, I will never open another Capital One account of any type, nor will I ever recommend Capital One to any one because of their incompetent errors.

I’ve been a customer of Capital One for quite some time now, and I am beyond frustrated with the poor service and lack of support. From the start, it’s been a nightmare trying to resolve simple issues.
Customer Service: The customer service is absolutely horrible. Every time I’ve needed assistance, I’ve been put on hold for over 30 minutes, only to receive unhelpful responses. The representatives seem untrained and unable to provide solutions to even the most basic problems.
Fees and Charges: The fees are excessive and hidden. I was charged an annual fee without being fully informed, and the foreign transaction fees are ridiculous. On top of that, my interest rates are much higher than expected, which feels like a huge bait-and-switch. Lack of Transparency: Their billing process is confusing, and I often find myself scrambling to understand why I’ve been charged certain amounts. There’s no clear breakdown of charges, and the website is clunky and hard to navigate.
Rewards Program: If you’re looking for a good rewards program, look elsewhere. The rewards are minimal and difficult to redeem, and the program itself seems to change without any notice. Overall, I regret choosing Capital One and I will be exploring other options. This is a company that clearly doesn’t care about its customers, and I highly recommend avoiding them if you value your time, money, and peace of mind.

I opened a savings account and added my granddaughter as joint owner. I received the message for her to call Capital One to verify her identity. She did, and she was told she had to appear in person with her photo ID and social security card to, again, verify her identity. The closest physical location is over an hour away from her home-what is the point of an online bank if she has to appear in person, an hour away from her home? The account is now locked, making me unable to access the money I deposited when I opened the account until she does that. I have had an account since 2004, when it was still ING-I would have thought I would be treated better than this.

I am a victim of Jugging at Capital One Bank on Westpark & Buffalo Speedway. Beware of this specific location of Capital One Bank. I visited this branch that’s located on 3207 Westpark Dr., Houston, TX 77005 few days ago on Thursday January 30th, 2025 around 1:00 PM. The drive through refused to allow me withdraw $4,000 cash for my overseas travel for 4 weeks. The lady forced me to get the cash from the teller counter inside the bank. I parked my car and walked inside and got my cash. I walked back into my car and went to Kroger located in the same strip center to buy milk. I contemplated whether to keep the cash with me or hide it under the mat to be safe. I chose the latter. I walked out of the car, went inside Kroger, bought the milk and went back to my car.
In that quick 5 minute trip, my car was burglarized, the window was smashed, the driver seat floor mat was removed, and $4,000 cash were gone. I filed a police report (Report Number **) and the officer told me that jugging is the most common crime in America nowadays and for this incident to be this efficient and quick, it could possibly be an inside job too. The police added that no scenario is a safer option if you draw cash: take it with you inside the store, keep it in your car hidden, or go home with it. Thugs know you got this cash and have made up their mind by hook or by crook they are going to get it. Each of those options come with a price regardless.
The blame is on the bank for not having security to protect its customers on their premises. The bank should never allow suspicious persons roam around the front door of the bank and allow non-customers park their vehicles, stay inside their cars, watch the customers as they exit the bank, follow them to become victims of jugging. I saw few cars parked with guys in them but never thought they would follow me to steal my money. I thought they were customers, naively, and didn’t know they were thugs targeting customers!! I contacted the bank, filed a complaint, and shared with them my incident as stated here. They said they will investigate. I hope they do!!
For every incident like this, banks should be responsible in returning lost cash to their customers for their lack of safety/security at their locations. Otherwise, invest in employing an officer to monitor foot traffic and activity in the parking lot of suspicious people. I am furious for losing $4,000 in cash, spending $2,400 repairing the damages on my car, and not having a car for several days. Shame on Capital One Bank and any bank for that matter for not securing their locations. Capital One Bank services are difficult and inflexible when it comes to some transactions which force customers to actually go in person to the bank and putting our lives at risk. I will be closing my account with them. They are worthless and unsafe.
Please take extra precautions when you visit Capital One Bank on 3207 Westpark Dr., Houston, TX 77005. If you must go to banks in person, be vigilant and make sure you are aware of your surroundings. If you see people in a car just sitting there, make sure you check if you are being followed after you leave and call the police if you are! The bank is responsible to return our lost $4000 and the cost of car repairs.

Terrible company! My niece had a baby and got into debt with her credit card. They weren't willing to lower her interest rates or help her in any way. The account is paid off now including all their high fees and interest rate! Stay away from this card!!!

Capital One sucks! Kohl's had their own credit card which I had for years along with a login and password so I could download the bills and pay them. Once they went to Capital One, it was one headache after another. Creating a new account, requiring lots of personal info and then the login and password stopped working and their people are no help at all. After hours on hold, I asked them to switch me back to paper bills. I likely won't shop at Kohl's anymore. The people at Kohl's were fine but this was a mistake at their corporate level.

After two months of communication, with no mention of additional information needed. Capital One closed my business account without a phone call, an e-mail, or even a message to my online bank account. Then because they had the wrong address for the close out check (to which they had just sent the business debit card to the correct address...) Now they say they need a notarized affidavit to let them know I did not receive the check. Which can up to an additional 90 days after waiting for a month.

If there is an option to 0 star, I would. Capital One Williams-Sonoma credit card has been nothing but a nightmare. I opened an account at Williams Sonoma in Short Hills, NJ location in Nov. 2023, they offered me 0% for 12 months option so I took it, made 12 equal payments toward the balance, yet got charged over $800 interest because someone at Capital One or Williams Sonoma didn't process the paperwork correctly. I reached out to both companies to investigate, no response. So I ended up paying all the interest, yet Capital One keeps charging interests on the payment I made. I called and complained to their supervisor and their response was that they can not guarantee there won't be additional interest charged just as I paid off all my balance and cancelled my account. I would NEVER use Capital One again.

After ignoring promotional emails, I finally decided to apply for the Capital One Savor Card after ignoring their promotional emails for years. The card itself has great perks—offering solid cashback rewards on dining, entertainment, groceries, and streaming services—but my experience with their customer service has been nothing short of frustrating.
After being approved for the card, Capital One immediately placed my account under restrictions and asked me to verify my identity by emailing a copy of my ID and a bill. I complied with their request right away, but the issue didn’t end there. Even after receiving the card in the mail, my account remained restricted. When I called customer service multiple times to resolve the issue, I was met with repetitive responses and vague timelines. They kept saying it would take 1 to 10 business days to process everything, but it’s been well over that timeframe now.
To make matters worse, their system kept rejecting my phone number even though it had been verified during one of the calls. The representatives I spoke to seemed unhelpful and robotic, repeating the same script over and over without offering any real solutions. One representative, Maria (the entitled manager), came across as entitled and dismissive, which only added to my frustration. She will ask you the back card security code which is shady. While the card’s rewards are undeniably attractive, this experience has left me questioning whether it’s worth the hassle. If you’re considering applying for the Capital One Savor Card, be prepared for potential delays and poor customer service. For me, the process has been unnecessarily stressful and disappointing.

Conclusion: If you need a credit limit above $1,000, avoid Capital One like the plague—they’re the worst! I applied for a travel card with Capital One, expecting a decent credit limit based on my strong financial credentials—over $100K in income, a 750+ credit score, and existing limits exceeding $30K. Instead, they offered me a pathetic $800 limit, which is an outright insult. I wanted to buy three family tickets at roughly $1,100 each and earn rewards, but their laughable limit made that impossible.
When I called to request a credit increase, their excuse was no more than a weak apology and a meager raise to $900. This isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a scam! A friend with a similarly strong credit profile had the exact same experience when her store credit account was transferred to them. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of Capital One if you require any meaningful credit. Consider reputable alternatives like Bank of America, Chase, or American Express instead.

Need a negative star rating system. Opened a joint 360 Capital One account back in 2014 when daughter went off to college.. No hassle then did everything online without needing to contact a rep. 2025 experience. A. Went to branch to provide ID verification to open a new account. B. Added a Joined owner = Joint person could not be added, this person is also a capital account holder. C. Linked Fidelity to Cap360 = Capital One account locked. D. added as joint to another person 360 account = had to call verify myself including providing internet provider name and cities last visited.
Last month (feb2025) linked my account to the fidelity cash management account for funds transfer, initially it was approved by the system by verifying the small deposits made, a few days later Capital One lock the account with no form of communication. After discovering the lock, called them and what a horrible experience it was, more than 10 verification questions, they called fidelity to verify, after the fidelity rep verified the capital one rep ask if there is anything else I wanted to ask fidelity and then continue to ask more verification question.. Frustration arise and ended up hanging up on the person. They unlocked the account few minutes later.
14 mar 25, received invitation to be joined member, accepted the invite and answered questions asked and received message stating it would take 2 days to complete. 28 mar 25, called to inquiry why the joint request was not completed. Had to do the 10+ verification questions again, after doing so the rep states she will provided a link (capitalone.com/finish) which could only work in chrome. The link worked with firefox without issue.. Capitalone customer service has left the building.. They need to revisit and revamp whatever they recently implemented.

This company is such a disappointment. Their customer service agents suffer to be respectful or kind. You can hear the lack of interest or concern in how they speak to you.

I am extremely unsatisfied with my Capital One Venture Card. I worked great for months. We spent and paid off about 50,000 over the past 6 months doing a house remodel. All of a sudden I get a notification that my account was restricted because they had concerns. I had just made 2 payments. They want me to verify that I am allowed to use the bank account that I used for payments. I did complain but decided to comply with their process so it didn't disrupt the way my finances work. They emailed a link and I immediately sent the bank record they requested.
I called today to get an update and the person told me that it can take 10 days to review. That is a complete disconnect to Capital One's customers. The young lady I spoke to was very kind and calm but reported that the only way she had to escalate was to send a note to that department's lead but there was no way to speak to that department. I was enjoying the point and planned to save them up but I may cash them out and close this account if this is the way they want to treat their customers.

If I could leave a negative star rating, I would. I have had nothing but headaches with Capitol One. Every time I try to talk to someone, they barely speak English and can never seem to help me.

The customer service is horrible. My account was locked, so I contacted Capital One to unlock my account. I repeatedly informed that I needed to unlock my account, not my card. After several transfers, the person I last spoke with unlocked my account. The first person I spoke with appeared to be American (voice), but she was rude. She transferred me to a department I didn't need. Before she transferred me, I explained to her that the department she was going to send me to was incorrect. She grew frustrated and rude.
Tauntingly, she asked me which department I thought she should transfer me to. I told her that I didn't know the name of the department, but collections was not the correct department. She confused locked account with locked card. She rudely transferred me to collections who then transferred me to the correct department. Each transfer required me to verify my identity which is annoying to repeat yourself to get get stuck in a hamster wheel. I've had several unnecessarily bad experiences with their customer service. I WILL close my account after I pay my account in full. They're just not worth the hassle.

Many years ago Capital One was good. NOT ANY MORE. They have the worst customer service on the planet. I have had unbelievable problem with them placing fraud alerts on everything I try to purchase. The foreigners they hired messed my new card up by activating it when they mailed it out. They then cancelled the old card with over 2 months left on the card. That's where all the problems began. Then they put me through hell to try to get the problem solved. Those foreigners have NO common sense. They are the most incompetent bunch I have ever dealt with. Most of them cannot speak good English so, speaking with them is near impossible. I have spent DAYS of my time trying to solve the problem. It is a JOKE.
