    I have been a customer for over ten years. We left on an RV trip around the country 2 months ago. Several days after we left I got an email saying new cards were mailed. I didn't think much about it be cause our card don't expire until 10/26 Today, July 7th, I get an email saying that on July 9th my current credit card will no longer work and I need to activate my new card. Called them and said I won't be home until July 19th and I've been using my card for fuel purchases for the last 2 months and if the shut down my card they would been stranding me half way across the country. They said sorry. There was nothing they could do. There is something I can do and it involves never doing business with Capital One ever again.

    I had a Capital One credit card. I would pay off what I thought was the interest and the late fee, and very little went to the principal. No sooner did I pay that bill, they tacked on another $75 in interest, before the previous bill cleared my bank. When I was one day late, I asked if the $8.00 late fee could be waived (paycheck determined), and they told me "Well, we will see what we can do." Never removed the late fee. I tried several times to contact them about lowering my monthly payment to one that I can manage, after my card was charged off.

    They had only 4 options for me to consider, but none were within my budget. So, now they put on their "big boy pants (cough)," and I am now going to my local magistrate to talk to them in court. If you didn't understand that, yes, these predators are suing me for $3,600. Yet as I read here, they are sleazy. They get celebrities (who have lots of money) as their spokespersons, not real people like me and the ones that I read here.

    Buyer beware! Capital One may offer you travel credits. Also Discover and Airlines may offer you a temptation of a travel credit – do not accept it. The travel offers can be only be made through Capital One Travel. Each travel offer has a specific applicability, so it won’t work for almost anything you may have in mind - the starting prices will be much higher and the availability much lower. Read the terms and conditions – it’s about 100 pages long and there is no way you will ever meet all the terms and conditions. There’s always some exclusion somewhere that means after the fact, you’re just gonna be stuck paying for everything. Whatever the offer is do not accept it.

    I would rather have $10 cash than $1000 travel credit with Capital One. At least the $10 can be spent somewhere unlike the travel credits. We stayed at Hilton Hotels and planned on using travel credits, but this was never a possibility as we did not meet all of their conditions. $350 a night plus fees was the best deal - no help from Capital One.

    Used to be excellent. Some things still true. Easy to use, low fees. However, the recent change to Discover has been awful. Suddenly a huge trusted network of ATMs whittles down to barely any. Traveling is supposed to be easy with them, but with the Discover network it is hit or miss, sometimes completely useless. I found myself in Mexico completely unable to pull cash out for anything. If you travel at all, or rely on a broader network of coverage, stay away.

    I opened a 360 Checking account and deposited $1000 from my US bank account, based on Capital One's promotional offer, which stated that I would receive a $300 bonus after meeting the required conditions within three months. However, after four months, I still had not received the reward. When I contacted customer service, I was told that my initial deposit, which I had transferred from my U.S. Bank account, did not qualify for the promotion. They explained that the deposit needed to be made in a specific way, but despite their explanation, the requirements remained unclear and confusing.

    Ultimately, I decided to close the account. After doing so, I incurred account closure penalties, and the account closure also negatively affected my credit score. Overall, this was one of the worst banking experiences I have had. The promotional terms were not communicated clearly, and the lack of transparency made the entire process frustrating. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Capital One to others.

    I recently tried to pay my Capital One card(s) bill by phone using my debit card from the bank that I normally mail a check from. They will not take a payment by phone using a debit, they want me to voluntarily give up access to my bank account and routing number (this bank is an hour away) in order to make a one time payment by phone, that's not happening as they have been also pressuring me to go paperless and give them my bank account info. They REFUSED to take a payment with my debit card and this will cause me for the first time to be late out of all of my bills, mortgage etc...unless I go to the local bank and pay for a cashiers check to mail in order to prevent it being late while I wait for my checks to come in...they refused!!!

    I am extremely disappointed with how Capital One handled this situation. I purchased a vehicle warranty through a used car dealership, later canceled it, and received a refund of approximately $2,700. The refund was correctly applied as a credit to my Quicksilver credit card account. Since the credit created a positive balance, I simply requested that Capital One send me the remaining funds by check, which is a standard practice for credit balance refunds.

    However, after processing the refund, my rewards balance was adjusted to -$37, leaving me with a negative rewards balance that I now have to earn back before I can receive future rewards. I understand that the rewards adjustment may have been related to the refunded purchase, but I asked Capital One on two separate occasions to make a one-time courtesy adjustment to restore my rewards balance to zero, especially considering I have been a loyal customer since 2018, have never missed a payment, and have consistently paid my balance in full. Both requests were denied.

    This experience has completely changed my opinion of Capital One. I no longer have any incentive to continue using a credit card where I have to "earn back" a negative rewards balance after receiving a legitimate refund. Customer loyalty and years of responsible account management apparently carry very little weight when it comes to customer service decisions.

    As a result, I will no longer be using Capital One for my spending, and I will be moving my business to a company that values long-term customers and is willing to exercise reasonable discretion in situations like this. I will also share my experience with others whenever they ask for recommendations on credit cards. This situation could have been resolved with a simple $37 one-time courtesy adjustment, but instead it has cost Capital One a loyal customer.

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

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

After we closed the account, we had originally set up automatic payments of $500. After closing account, zero balance, they automatically took $500 out. Trying to get it back was a pain, it could take up to 2 business billing statements to get it back, OUR MONEY! I talked to a manager and got a check within a week or 2. Before cashing I noticed they credited our account for $500? Now I got a bill for 502.32 for check of which we did not cash, plus they are charging me interest. Called them, they will credit account, but could take up to 2 business cycles! In the meantime, I'm having to make min. payment and charged interest. It's only a couple buck, but it's the principle.

    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.

    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.

She resolved 2 issues within 5 minutes as opposed to what was taking me 1 and 1/2 hours. This was so refreshing compared to the initial route.

    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.

    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 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.

    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!

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.

The reason given was that they could not verify information they had requested, yet I never received any prior communication asking for this information.

    For a large, well-known bank, it is unacceptable not to make a reasonable effort to contact a long-time customer by phone or email before taking such a drastic step. This experience has been frustrating, disrespectful, and completely avoidable. As a result, I have lost trust in this institution and will not be opening any accounts with Capital One in the future.

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

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

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

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

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

    Sorry for the rant here but I've been stewing on this all. I have been with Capital One since roughly 2017. I opened a platinum card account so I could work on my credit and quickly followed this by opening a 360 checking account. Flash forward a few years and the platinum card has been upgraded to a quick silver and my deposit returned to me. Had nothing but good experiences for my entire time as a customer and have regularly recommended them. Especially over using chime or cash app as your primary bank.

    Then out of nowhere at 7am on a Saturday, they deactivated both of my Quick Silver cards. Their official reason "We are closing this Quicksilver Credit Card because Capital One has observed activity on one or more of your Capital One accounts that is inconsistent with typical customer account usage." Which means literally nothing.

    The customer support rep said it is likely do to a handful of returned payments. Which I will take fault for, I've been juggling to many things lately and occasionally forgot about a different automatic withdrawal, but it's been like 5 total in 6 years and I would blame them for at least 2 of them as they "returned" a payment back to my 360 event tho the funds were in there and indicated that I had to initiate a new payment, which I did at a higher amount as the original payment had not been withdrawn and I had just been paid.

    They processed both payments and kicked back the larger one and immediately shut off my QS accounts even though the original has been in good standing for 6 years and I had never had a returned payment. (The whole reason I opened a capital one checking account was to make paying the card easier. They are literally just move a balance for one column to another.)

    No attempt to connect with me or explain what was going on. I'm honestly not sure how they just took from me in rewards, but it was likely a decent amount as I run all of bills through one and my work expense account through the other. The experience has ruined the company for me and I will be closing the remainder of my accounts as soon as possible. Now I'm waiting for them to withdraw my last payment, which post to the balance on the CC on the 8th and that they confirmed was received via email, but has still not been removed from the checking account.

    This is a long review I wrote, but essentially they do not protect their customers from fraud and have little sympathy for it. Beware of this credit card company. I was recently on vacation in Mexico from April 4-11, 2026, and decided to withdraw money from a bank machine on the resort I was staying at. I withdrew $400 Canadian dollars on April 9. As soon as I was done my transaction my phone bank app alerted me that 3 additional transactions took place almost immediately. One for $122.85 and another one for $545.86 CAD and another one for $84. The $84 one was flagged and denied by my credit card company which is Capital one Mastercard, but the first two charges went through. My original transaction from the bank machine was listed as Bankaoolcabo. The next transaction was listed as ** JesusEnrique and the next one was listed as ** JoseLos. I then went into my bank app and locked my card so no further charges could go through.

    I went to the front desk of the resort and they directed me to a money exchange booth that they said was responsible for the bank machine. The exchange desk clerk gave me a phone number to call. I took a picture of that phone number but was going to wait until I got home to call it because my cell phone was not set up to make calls while in Mexico. After I returned home I called Capital One the next day, and told them what happened. They said they would remove the charges from my card. Then on April 28 Capital One called me to inform me that they were going to reapply the charges because my physical card with PIN # was used for these transactions even though I explained that those charges all happened within 5 minutes of my original transaction. They advised me to contact the merchant. I then tried calling the phone number I took a picture of and it was out of service.

    I called Capital One back and explained that to them, they then said that I could make a police report and provide them with the information from that and they would look at removing the charges again. I went to the police station on April 29th and filled out a report. I called Capital One back providing them with all the information they asked for except a suspect name. I explained that the police officer told me that they cannot launch an investigation into something that happened in Mexico. So essentially there will never be a suspect name. Capital One said they cannot move forward with reversing the charges because they need the suspect name and they closed my file. I then seen on their paperwork that I could request my file be forwarded to the Capital One Complaints Resolution Office if I was dissatisfied with the outcome of my claim.

    I spoke to the manager then who told me the same thing, they cannot do anything at all without a suspect name. They also told me that these charges were made by an Art Supplies Company. How could I make a transaction at one location and then run to another and spend almost another $700 in less than 5 minutes?? I think it is hugely unfair that they are making me pay all this money when I did not make these transactions.

    I'm the POA for my dad who was the victim of the 2022 data breach with this company, they stole his information and between 2023-2024 a hacker charged nearly $5,000 to his silver capital one credit card, last year in 2025, he was once again the victim of a scammer pretending to be Capital One. We've made several calls, but this breach is still currently going on. We tried going through the BBB, only to not hear back, this company owes me and my dad $5,000 due to the fact, we also had to put a stop payment on a check, open a new checking account, freeze the old account and we were out $30.00 additional for having to order new checks, in closing this is the most corrupt credit card company, and even now your information and data aren't secure or safe.

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

    All around terrible. It's to the point where it almost feels like they're running a scam. I've done this three times now just to see if it's common practice with them or coincidence. However all three times I got the same results. I get a flyer in the mail telling me I'm pre-approved. I sign up. They get all the necessary information and I get my card in the mail, in a timely manner. Yay I'm pre-approved for what I'm guessing is their minimum credit line. But I figure what the heck, maybe I'll build some credit and get a higher one in the future, so I activate card. Some time goes by and time comes when I decide to use my card. Three out of three times my first transaction gets declined and then they freeze the account dinging it for fraudulent purchases. LMAO.

    It's my first purchase. On what are they basing this fraudulent activity on? Anyway so I proceed to call them and tell the fraud people it's I the user so by all means they can retract the hold on my card now. But oh no not this fraud team. Even after proving I was who I said I was and it was me trying to use the card, I figured that would conclude our business with the fraud department but I figured wrong. Every single time they would tell me they couldn't unfreeze my card until I basically sent them every single thing you could possibly think of regarding my personal life, information, employment. All this for a minimum credit line. And coming from the fraud department of all places.

    And like with any credit card you apply for a fair amount of this information I've already given them during the application process. Assuming all is well once approved. And giving them all the information I was willing to give them apparently wasn't enough even though being granted approval makes no sense to me. I mean just deny me during the application process if the information I'm willing to share doesn't merit their minimums. But instead they seem to have some game they like to play. Like I said three out of three so it's definitely in the manuscript.

    My favorite part is upon me denying giving them any more than I already have and since they can't or won't relinquish my credit line without this atrocious amount of more information, I then proceed to ask them for one of two things and that is to free up my credit line and if you're unable to do this or unwilling to do this then please I'd like to close this account because it's obviously useless to me from this point on. So we closed the account. Or accounts I should say. Three times. My favorite part of this last one was when he asked me how I'd like to pay the $39 balance. Which was the yearly fee I believe. I said, "That's never going to happen." If I used the card even once, I would be more than happy to pay the fee. But since the card virtually isn't even active since they freeze it instantly upon the first purchase or attempted purchase which also is inconvenient and a headache and embarrassing in some situations.

    That is $39 of what they will never see from me. Consequences be damned. I don't know. I guess I just find it frustrating and not very logical or whatever approach this is that they insinuate on doing. I can't imagine it makes for a happy customer base. Perhaps the super wealthy at the top are just bored with their lives and have to torment us lower on the totem pole folks for their entertainment. I find it just nuts. That's all. So if you're thinking of giving them a try I would pass, save yourself the headache and satisfaction of knowing you're depriving some old rich prick his entertainment for the evening.

    I’ve been dealing with an issue with Capital One for over a month now, and it’s been one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve ever had with a bank. I made a credit card payment using my own external bank account. Shortly after, they flagged it as possible fraud and locked my account. Fine, I understand security checks happen. But what doesn’t make sense is that they still took my money while keeping my account restricted and making it nearly impossible to fix the situation.

    Since then, I’ve submitted everything they’ve asked for to prove the account is mine (bank statements, screenshots, direct deposit forms), all clearly showing my name and account. They keep rejecting it because my bank masks part of the account number for security reasons, which is normal for a lot of banks. Even my bank has told me that what Capital One is asking for is unreasonable. Every time I call, I get a different answer or no real solution. There’s no flexibility, no common sense, and no clear path to actually resolve this.

    What really crossed the line is that Capital One somehow contacted my mother about this issue, and she is not listed on my account at all. I never authorized that, and there is absolutely no reason they should be discussing my financial matters with anyone else. That’s a serious privacy concern. At this point, it feels like I’m being punished for using my own bank account to make a payment. My money is gone, my account is locked, and I’m stuck going in circles with customer service. I just want my account fixed and access restored, but instead I’ve wasted weeks dealing with this with no resolution. I would not recommend Capital One based on this experience.

    Their customer service representatives are polite but not always knowledgeable regarding credit card information. I was waiting for a card to arrive by USPS and never received it. However, somehow while being in the possession of the United States Postal Service my card was intercepted by someone and they made five different charges on the card before I ever saw the card or even received the card. I insisted that the replacement card needed to be sent by FedEx and it was. So I did get the replacement card and the charges were not mine so I wasn't charged for those fraudulent purchases. I was offered an upgraded credit card and I accepted that offer and was waiting for my new upgrade card but that too disappeared in the mail system and Capital One said that they would not send the replacement by FedEx as they did the first time and that they would send the replacement but United States Postal Service.

    Wish I was not happy about because after the first experience with never receiving my card I was reluctant to trust the postal service again. The representative on the phone informed me that my present card that I owned would not be canceled until I received graded card and that turned out to be incorrect information. So I was left without a credit card and was still waiting for the one that was supposed to be arriving by US mail which had not been received and was way overdue. Overall it's just been a frustrating experience with misinformation and cards being stolen by United States Postal Service employees. Capital One needs to stop relying on the United States Postal Service when they send credit cards and send them via FedEx which is more secure.

    Capital One is a fraud company that does not respect its clients. Their customer service is exceptionally poor, with incompetent staff who are unable to properly address issues. Whenever a concern is raised, they claim that their “back team” handles it, yet it’s impossible to get in touch with anyone from that team. After over 10 years with Capital One, I will be permanently closing all my accounts and have no intention of doing business with them in the future. It’s disappointing, because their customer service used to be very good. If this continues, I do foresee the company declining. Customers should seriously consider this before applying. Good luck.

    Capital One customer service is useless! I was trying to Zelle money to an online legal company. I was a little skeptical at first but everything I could find said that the company was legit. The only issue was that for the court fees they needed payment either with Zelle or a money order through the mail (which takes longer). I tried the Zelle method to save time but it was flagged by Capital One's fraud alert. I called Capital One customer service and they told me that they couldn't tell me WHY it was flagged but they told me that THEY KNEW WHY. They just couldn't tell me!?!? Apparently it was a secret that they were not allowed to tell me. AWESOME! I was told wait 24 hrs and try it again. No luck, still didn't work.

    I called Capital One back again and asked for the fraud alert to be lifted but they instructed me that there is nothing they can do. I insisted on talking to a manager because there IS ALWAYS someone who can override the computer software. I was patched through to someone named Diana or Diane who was VERY UNHELPFUL! She seemed incompetent. All she could tell me was that she can't do anything. I explained that it was my money and I should be able to use the way I want. If it's not a legit company that's MY PROBLEM because it's MY MONEY. I'm willing to take that risk. Like a parrot she just kept repeating that she didn't have the authority to help me and she didn't have the authority to connect me with someone who could help me! It was very annoying!

    I was quite happy with Capital One until I made two payments on the same card on the same day. I decided to pay the balance after making a payment. I got a note that I could not do that. I assumed Capital would not debit my bank account but they did without adjusting my card balance. Since July, I have contacted customer service countless times. A month later, I asked for a check. They sent it, tacked the same amount onto my balance! I got that even though it was over my credit limit. Until January they claimed it was my mistake. Then, I asked my account to print everything out, called them, and was told by two reps they could see their error but I was past the six-month grace period for solving the problem. There are quite a few customers that have complained about the practice. It’s theft, and I will work to get it settled until it is settled.

    The system is rigged at Capital One. I had a credit card payment that didn't go through because of insufficient funds, so I got a notice the payment was late. They charged me a fee for this. Then, I made a payment which was the minimum due on a Friday, through the app. By Monday morning I was still getting "late" notices and the payment still said "processing" on the app. I tried using their AI but it did not help.

    I called their support line and spoke to a representative. He was no help at all. He said that the payment hadn't gone through because it was over the weekend and it takes several business days to process a payment. I said, what? The app doesn't work on the weekend? He could not explain why, and he would not waive the late fee either. He said the payment should process by tomorrow (Tuesday). I said this makes no sense. When I have made payments through the app before, it processes in seconds. Now, with a late payment, it takes 4 business days? This is ridiculous. As soon as I can get my balance transferred to another company, I will be doing so.

    I really didn’t want to make a review about Capital One credit card but I feel they lied to get me to get a credit card. Number 1 it was only supposed to be to check your approval process and let you know if you’re able to get the credit card but they didn’t give me the option of agreeing or not because they already ran my credit so I was obligated to get it and then they say automatic credit increase but that’s not true. They want to run your credit again. Now if Visa can approve me for 10,000 dollar limit why Capital One only offered me a 500 dollar limit with a 100 dollar increase? I pay the full balance each month and pay early. You would think they see my ability to pay. So I’m not using it at all until they raise my credit limit to at least 5000 because at five hundred dollars as soon as you spend anything more than the 30 percent your credit will take a hit so I’ll just continue to use my Visa until Capital One does better.

    In my opinion, this company has the worst customer service and inexperienced agents I have ever seen! There are many credit card companies and banks out there that are superior to Capital One! After three months of trying to close a credit card account, calling several times for pay off balances, paid in full balances to my knowledge and agents, and paying interest charges that were their fault for not explaining.

    After calling for payoff amounts that were not correct on their end because daily interest by the time they received a check was no longer paid in full, so they charge interest on the whole account for that month! Not that we found that out by the previously two agents that don't know how their interest works! A manager Ashley that was also not helpful or understanding of our situation told us, receiving a bill in the mail and paying in full with a check, by the time they receive a check you have another 4-5 days interest that it took them to receive the check.

    So according to them, those extra few days has interest which is no longer paid in full, so they charge interest on the whole previous balance that month! Even a month after the account was closed, I received a bill strictly interest because of this, that's when Ashley, a manager sees we have called the last three months trying to resolve this and figure it out tells us why, because were mailing paid in full checks, even after talking to other agents are not receiving them that day, I guess!

    You think she cared her agents were giving us false information, or information they didn't even understand themselves? No, she didn't, just made us pay the interest over the phone to finally get the account zeroed out! If I would have paid my interest-only bill through the mail, I would have gotten another interest bill next month, two months after the account has been closed. I am very disappointed and angry how Capital One handled this drawn-out situation that took them 3 months to explain and didn't care one bit!

    Capital One is not a good place to use as a bank for family people. I open an account with Capital One I used the phone deposit. After depositing the check, it said 5 business days hold, but it said it would put some of the money in the account and later place the remaining over time. The next day, it said it will have to hold the check longer. Because it looked like fraud. Mind you, the check was from a large bank as well known, and it only takes 3 to 5 days for check to clear. Capital One is lazy, sorry and no good. Customer Service sucks. Never put your money in this bank if you need it faster than 15 to 20 days cause they will hold your check for a long time after this happen, I removed my money from Capital One.

    Beware of Capital One 360 bill pay service when your payee is mailed paper checks. Capital One's process is to create the check and send it to the payee by USPS. At the time the check is created, Capital One withdraws the check amount from your account -- not when the check is cashed by the payee. In the unfortunate event of the payee not receiving payment, Capital One does not try to resend payment and they consider this transaction closed. Their process is for the customer to 'dispute' the payment and Capital One will investigate the issue which takes up to 10-45 business days to restore the funds (if they decide to). They do not use tracking on this payment, so no one really knows what the issue was (Cap One or USPS).

    It is up to the customer to create another bill payment for the payee (but the original transaction funds can't be used for the new bill payment). This practice is not disclosed to customers in the terms and conditions of the bill pay service. This practice is vastly different from banks such as US Bank, where their service is limited to creating the check and mailing it to the payee on your behalf; the funds are NOT withdrawn from your account until the check is cashed.

    I’ve been a loyal Capital One customer for over 15 years. For a decade and a half, I did everything the right way—paid my bills on time, never missed payments, and paid thousands of dollars in interest along the way. I believed loyalty mattered. I believed that if I ever hit a hard season in life, the company I had supported for so many years would show a little understanding in return. Last January, my life took a turn I never expected. I lost my job. Instead of giving up, I tried to rebuild. I started a business, hoping to create something better for my future. Unfortunately, I trusted the wrong business partner, and that decision cost me my life savings.

    Since then, I’ve been fighting every single day to stay afloat. I’ve sold my personal belongings. I’ve canceled every unnecessary bill. I’ve applied for job after job, nonstop, trying to recover and rebuild my life. Through all of that struggle, I still made sure to keep my payments to Capital One on time, because that’s the kind of customer I’ve always been.

    But eventually, reality caught up with me. I reached the point where I had to start researching bankruptcy. I even looked into debt consolidation programs where credit card companies negotiate balances down to half. Out of loyalty—and honestly, hope—I decided to call Capital One before taking those steps. I explained everything: the job loss, the failed business partnership, the sacrifices I’ve made, and how hard I’ve been trying to stay responsible.

    All I asked was if there was any program that could temporarily reduce my payment or waive the monthly fee for a few months while I get back on my feet. They told me they wanted to help because I had been such a loyal customer. Their solution? They offered to waive the late fee for three months—but only if I made the full payment on time. Let that sink in.

    I just explained that I cannot afford the payment right now. I told them I may have to file bankruptcy—which means they receive nothing. I told them I may enter debt consolidation—where their balance would likely be cut in half. Yet after 15 years of loyalty, the only help they could offer was to waive a fee that only applies if I miss the payment they already know I can’t make.

    It felt less like help and more like a scripted response from a system that doesn’t actually listen. Fifteen years of loyalty. Fifteen years of paying on time. Fifteen years of paying interest. And when I finally needed help during the hardest chapter of my life, the answer was essentially… nothing. Thank you, Capital One, for showing exactly how much loyalty really matters to you.

    I have had a very disappointing experience with Capital One. On January 13, 2026, I called customer service to pay my full statement balance, including the interest charge, and requested that my account be closed. The representative confirmed the payment and the account closure. However, two months later I received another statement that included additional interest and a late fee. I have never made a late payment in the past 10 years with Capital One, so this was very concerning.

    I contacted customer service again to explain that I had already paid the balance in full and closed the account on January 13. The representative told me he did not know what happened but insisted that he could not waive the late fee. This experience has been extremely frustrating, especially after maintaining a good payment history for so many years. Based on this experience, I would not recommend Capital One to others.
