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

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

If I could give Capital One zero stars, I would. Capital One has been one of the most frustrating financial institutions I've ever dealt with. Their customer service has been anything but helpful, and I never felt like they genuinely supported me as a customer. If your payment is due on a certain date, don't assume paying later that evening will save you.
In my experience, being late after 8:00 PM on the due date resulted in late fees, returned payment fees, and compounding interest that quickly made the balance much harder to pay off. Another major issue is how long it can take for transactions or payments to actually process. The money can sit pending for what feels like forever, yet somehow you're still held responsible if it results in insufficient funds or other issues. The delays seem to work against customers rather than for them.
I've also been disappointed that despite being a customer for years and maintaining the account, my credit limit barely changed. Loyalty doesn't seem to count for much. The only reason I kept the card open was because I knew closing a long-standing credit card could negatively affect my credit history. Otherwise, I would have closed it a long time ago.
I was even pre-approved for an auto loan through Capital One, and I still wouldn't finance a vehicle with them because of my experience. That's how little confidence I have in this company. Opening an account with Capital One is one of my biggest financial regrets. There are far better banks and credit card companies that value their customers and provide fairer treatment. Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend Capital One to anyone.

During my time with Capital One bank they were great. But During my bank issues they closed my accounts. Without reaching out and asking for the issue. I will never use this bank.

I purchased FIFA tickets through my Capital One rewards. I paid 440,000 points for what I thought were $2400 face value tickets (advertised by Capital one). I was just issued nose bleed, $220 face value. Called capital one. They basically told me to eat a d**k. Weak

Horrible Booked hotel. Hotel said fully refundable til day before reservation. Cap 1 travel charged me $2400. Tropical storm expected so in advance tried to cancel. Cap 1 won't refund my $$ even though hotel confirmation said it's refundable. Now fighting between both Hilton Pensacola and Cap 1 to get my money or my reservation back. Knew better than to use third site, but didn't trust my gut.

My account with Capital One has been just about bad. I knew they were bad going into this but it is what it is. A payment was made to pay off the card and instead of notifying me that they thought it was fraudulent. They left me sitting around and waiting for it to go through. Now they say it’s fraudulent. A payment as fraudulent.
Ohh it gets much better. They send me a message saying they need the code to look at my account. I start complaining that it’s illegal to do that. Then it gets better yet. Now they say they need to link my card to the bank to check the payment. Ohh I know a scam when I hear it. So I say no that is illegal. All on the capital one real number. I say again that’s fraud and they insist that they need that to verify the account. I said no again. That’s fraudulent activity on their part. Now they keep calling and saying to link my card to the bank. Plus sending me messages that they won’t ever ask for private information. Well they are and that’s illegal. No it’s not settled yet. I won’t link the bank to the card. Nooo.

When I went through a hard time Capital One was very kind and worked with me and eventually I got back on track. The only complaint I have is I wish there was a faster way to pay them what I owe them. The ACH draft is slow and it scares me that a surprise might come to take the money out of my account before the ACH is deducted.

Capital One is a rip-off. I use the 12-month transfer of balance and what they do is you will never be able to pay it off while you make any purchases. Now I have to pay off the entire balance before they apply any of the money of the account that I transferred when I make additional payments on the account. I make my monthly payment then I make an additional payment to apply to the transfer account and they will not apply it until after you pay the entire balance off that you have already with them.
This is what you need to do. If you want to transfer a high interest credit card to Capital One make sure you make no purchases on the credit card. None! Don't have anything charged! Everything you apply to the account after you make an initial payment will go to the transfer account. If you had a high interest credit card and a balance of zero on your Capital One account, transfer the high interest account over to Capital One and all payments you make will go straight to the high interest credit card payment you transferred. I repeat do not make any purchases you will be able to pay off high interest cards that you transfer keep a zero balance and have those high interest.

I had a Capital One credit card that I paid off in full two months ago and customer service said it's paid in full and closed. I would not have to pay anything else. They sent me a bill on the 5th for 4.53 for interest they forgot to put on the bill and now I have to pay that and 3 days late fees cause they made a mistake and I was unaware of a bill but they want me to pay for their mistakes. Capital One is a horrible company and they don't care about customers. They just want to screw people over for a few dollars. Do not get a Capital One credit card. It's the worse. I've read other reviews and it's not the first time they want you to pay for their mistakes.

Capital One implemented Artificial Intelligence for customer service support. It is the 2nd barrier/interaction a customer takes, after automated voice system. Then, after wasting time and repeating oneself constantly with no progress, finally the customer will be/should be directed to speak to another “department/associate to be better assisted” who is, in fact, a real human. Finally. The only way to solve real/complex/ambiguous issues and concerns.
Today, Monday 8 June 2026, Capital One displayed a lack in successful customer support via AI and Automated system (who hangs up on you if you do not select one of the very limited 4 options it offers), Mobile Application sucked terrible, with the Help tab/button as it did not display anything. It stayed blank. The website did not resolve what the Mobile Application couldn’t. Lastly, Representative Star again did an AMAZING JOB. SHE IS THE BEST.
BUT Capital One does not allow the customer/client to leave a personal review/compliment for employees who do an above-and-beyond service. The Phone Line used to provide a survey portion at the end of the service with ANY organization, Capital One immediately hangs up after interaction with representative. I searched via direct Mobile Application and direct Website; they do not provide a section for customers to leave good reviews for employees. I googled for a link, maybe to leave a review for Ms. **; nothing to be found but validated third-parties for reviews. Capital One indifferent with both customers and employees, I guess… I assess…. I concur.

As a long-standing customer, I have recently experienced a significant level of disappointment. The recent changes to the debit cards have resulted in payment issues at several establishments, leading to considerable embarrassment. Consequently, I have decided to transition my banking services to Bank of America.

You make a payment online, your bank transfers the funds to Capital One and it takes up to 1 week before they reflect the funds against your account. If you contact them, they only give you the run around. Saying although "We can help you", they never do. Corporate banking bull to the highest degree. Most credit card companies process the online transaction in less than one day. Capital One holds your funds for up to a week. This allows them to invest your money using overnight loans and earning lots of interest. Talk about a massive scam.

I made a double payment by accident. I contacted Capital One the day that I noticed the mistake and called them. The first rep told me to call back after the payment has been processed from my bank. I called the next day after it had been processed, the first rep put me on hold for 40 minutes, I wasted my work lunch time as he didn't come back to the line. I called back, this time the rep offered a refund by mailing me a check that would take up to 10 days, I asked to speak with a supervisor only to be told the same thing. Their customer service is terrible, my time was wasted as no solution was offered as I told them that extra payment was meant for a different bill and I need it that money back in my account sooner; it did not make a difference.

I had a run-in with a BJ's employee when using my Capital One credit card, whereby she was not at all helpful in assessing why it would not work. I know she is not a Capital One employee, but it was the attitude that said it all and had had enough with the credit cards being an issue. I called and told Capital One my card was not working and they couldn't have cared less until I told them to cancel the card. They tried to get me to keep it but nope cancelled it. Now, with no bills and no notes to me, they are assessing late fees and more and more interest. Also note that I have tried numerous times to make payment and system was down, so I forgot. Would have been late as I pay on the due date and not before. Now they have Discover. Unless they refund me, I will be cancelling that card too.

Capital One Travel prioritizes policy over actual customer service. I booked through their travel portal expecting support if issues came up, but instead experienced endless transfers, scripted responses, and zero ownership from anyone involved. Even after the hotel itself approved a goodwill accommodation and was willing to move the reservation, Capital One Travel continued hiding behind process and third-party policies instead of helping solve the problem.
The entire experience made it clear that once something falls outside of the standard script, customer support has very little authority or willingness to advocate for the customer. Ironically, the hotel showed far more empathy, flexibility, and problem-solving than the company, advertising itself as the customer-facing travel service. In my opinion, the points and occasional savings are absolutely not worth the tradeoff in customer service and flexibility. After this experience, I would strongly advise people to avoid booking through the Capital One Travel portal altogether and book directly with hotels whenever possible.

Capital one caused a 16 point decrease on my credit report which is a direct result of their incompetent reporting on my line of credit. They reported my line of credit as 1290.00 when it IS 15,000.00, this is a huge and unacceptable mistake. This type of mistake, they should be able to correct it immediately, INSTEAD they gave me the run around, wasted 2 hours of my time, and insisted I do their work. CAPITAL ONE has all my information and should have the ability to correct it, they are not paying me hourly to correct THEIR mistake. I have closed all cards with them and will NEVER deal with them again in the future. I need to bill them for my time wasted and stolen from my family due to their HUGE mistake. I HAVE excellent credit for a reason, one being I do not tolerate INCOMPETENCE from a company like capital one.

I had initiated the CD option to close the account at maturity and have it transferred into my savings account. I received an email confirmation of that status one month prior to the maturity. However, on the maturity date, the CD did not close and instead rolled over into a 14-month period. Because it was within the 10-day grace period, I was able to manually close the account and transfer the funds into my savings account. You cannot write Capital One to inquire so I had to call their Customer Service. The agent put me on hold to research what may have happened and told me that it would require further research. But she also said that I would not receive anything in writing and therefore would never know the results of their research.
There is something wrong with their system given that the online options don't work correctly and that they will not put anything in writing. She said that I could always call back to ensure that my maturity options for my other two CDs are correct, but that implies that their online options really are not reliable and the phone assistance not really that helpful. This does not instill confidence. When my two other CDs mature, I will be closing my savings and credit card accounts and open accounts at another institution.

Capital One is the worst card I have ever had. The customer service does not know what they are doing, it takes 30 minutes to try to explain something, and they don't get it and then if you think they do they still mess it up or just don't do it. I am a Retired United States Air Force Disable Veteran and They made me prove I was a citizen when I was born here. I had to show my social security card and where I lived. I was insulted!!!! I WILL be paying it off soon and it is GONE!!! I am sorry I ever got it. Good luck to all who want it.

Not only are they one of the highest interest credit cards but their customer service is terrible. They said I made a payment on the closing date of the previous billing cycle and they posted it to the previous cycle knowing I had already made a payment so now I have to make another payment in the current cycle!!!! Not cool!!!! Customer service offered nothing. They said SOL basically there was nothing they could do. I find that hard to believe in this day and time. I know better. No I would never recommend them. I spoke with three different customer service reps. All said the same thing and I filed a report with their complaints email but never heard a word.

When their system "suspects" fraudulent charges (which usually is for no reason at all), they completely shut down your card and you can't do anything online to verify you made the purchases, you have to call them. Then, even when you verify it isn't fraudulent, they shut down your card anyway and you can't make purchases for days because you have to wait for a new card to be issued. There is no way to contact them through text or email. They claim to be the most technologically forward company, but they are, by far, the least. They have phone and fax, and their system is completely IDIOTIC! I got their card because of the rewards, but the stress of having to redo everywhere that I have autopay on this card when there was absolutely nothing wrong is not worth it!!! And this is the third time it's happened.

I have had a Capital One card for years. I always pay at least four times more than the minimum payment and my payments are always on time. Yet I pay a very high interest rate even though my credit is great. They only care about signing people up instead of rewarding their loyal customers.

If I could leave 0 stars, I would. Ever since Capital One took over Discover, it's been a nightmare. Never in my life have I had so many issues with a credit card company. Anything I had as a recurring charge was cancelled instead of automatically charged to the new card. I stopped being able to use my existing card without notice. I can never get into the account online without calling them and going through a phone tree and reverifying information. They are the absolute worst. Will be cancelling immediately.

I was drawn in by the credit card details and terms which sounded nice. Applied through a fairly easy process and was approved. Only after logging into my account did I notice that many security details were attached to my ex wife's information. So I called support, needing assurance that those details usable to access my account would be replaced with my own.
The first customer service representative was cordial and understanding, then they transferred me to technical services, where the rep told me I was an idiot. Those details could never be removed. They identified me and that single sign-on was for my convenience and would always be available to those who knew the details. My phone would not be confirmed as MFA, and they would not remove her information. After being belittled and told they don't care if she can steal from me, I had to close the accounts with them about an hour after I had to endure hard credit inquiries and the worst customer service I have ever experienced.

Capitol One is the worst Credit Card that you can get don’t ever get a credit card from Capitol One. I made the payment the same day, apparently, because I didn’t made it before the eastern time and I’m in central time. They charged me a high late fee, which is unfair, and they will not refund the late fee.
