Capital One is a well- known credit card issuer that was founded in 1995 and has grown exponentially since then. It specializes in extending credit card offers to people with poor or damaged credit, allowing consumers with low credit scores a way to obtain a credit card and rebuild their credit record....

Capital One has been in my wallet since college. It had the neat water drops on the front - very hip. The rates jump EVERYWHERE! Balance transfers rates and timeframes are great, but then the rates skyrocket!  There is NOOOOO middle ground!  And trying to talk this out with a customer service rep is near impossible. I resorted to email. All the emall responses go around in circles - not addressing my specific rate questions on current balances and history of rates, instead the rep recites my current terms and conditions. There is no opportunity to negotiate, no attempt in keeping my business,...

You may get lulled by the commercials BUT where is the Customer Service when you NEED it...You can't talk to a customer service agent or get a Postal dated POSTING which is now overrided by their Eastern Time Zone computer clock. Annual fee(s) are posted ahed before the Annual Renewal date so...if you decide to cancel the FEE you have to chase the Supervisor to CANCEL the CARD relationship.

Automation takes the HUMAN touch away from YOU and the company.

NOT worth IT... YOU FINANCE the crazy commercials

This was the first credit card I ever got as a college student. It is a great product for people who are just starting to build their credit.

Once you do get some credit though, I'd recommend moving on to a new card. The company is very stingy with credit line increases, and their APR's aren't outstanding.

Overall though, I don't regret getting this card. I never had a problem with it, and it did allow me to build enough credit to get better cards with rewards and such.

After 6 years of having Capital One Visa-No Hassle Rewards card, I'm closing my account.  Because I normally pay my balance in full each month, I don't pay attention to fees and policies on late payments.  I paid one payment online ONE HOUR late a few months ago.  I knew I'd get hit with interest and I paid it.  However, the next month I got hit with interest again on all of my charges even though I paid in full and early.  I called and was told that's their policy--2nd month is charged interest no matter what.  I asked to speak to someone who might have authority to waive this interest given...

If you are looking for a cash rewards card, this is the best one so far out there. Especially if you pay on time and pay in full. It gives you 2% cash back on all gas and grocery purchases made at actual grocery stores not at warehouse stores or combination stores, like Walmart etc.You get 1% cash rewards on all other purchases.  It is fee free on purchases in foreign countries, so if you are traveling you only pay the exchange amount on the dollar no percentage fees on purchases.  This is very helpful and makes for low cost traveling. Most cards charge you a percentage like 1% of your purchase... read full review »

As of July 2009 - There's no annual fee if you have excellent credit, which I thought I did with a credit score in the upper 700s with all 3 bureaus, however I was declined.  My boyfriend was also declined.  I've had Capital One's card before, but I canceled because of the $29 annual fee.  It was a little hard to let go because they had raised my credit limit to $4500, but why pay to have a card when you should be getting paid?  Maybe if you're trying to improve your credit score...

When I visited the Capital One site a few months ago, they had the no annual fee offer available for "good"...

A great card for people with bad credit trying to reestablish their credit but a terrible card in the long run.  High yearly fees just to have the card, very small credit increases, high monthly finance charges, and no grace periods.  On-line access is not always available and payments made on-line don't always post properly (especially if your paying close to the due date).  High penalty charges for going over your credit limit even if its over at your statement time due to the finance charge.  Customer service has been just plain rude making statements like "You should keep a closer eye on... read full review »

BEWARE of this lending institution.  I had three of their cards at one time. They were not high balance cards but the annual fees and terms border on predatory lending practices in my opinion.  Finance charges often put your account over the limmit, which in turn creates additional fees.  This becomes a vicious cycle as you can imagine.  I went through this company because I felt my credit history was substandard.  The bottom line is, go to your own personal bank or credit union.  I was amazed to discover how reasonable their interest rates and fees were in comparison, and just as easy... read full review »

I have capital one visa card there services is fine however capital one does not tell you that they don't report your credit limit to the credit bureaus because of this it appears that your are always maxed out even if you only have a small balance.  With this said they have even admited this to me when I asked ... They also do this so you appear to be BIG SPENDER with your cards and are not appealing to other hip credit card companies.. There is also a class action law suit pendig... Capital one may give you some points however your credit score takes a hit anytime you balance is more than 30...

I got this card to use on a European vacation to get cash as I needed it. I thought I understood the terms and conditions, but I was wrong. I was charged $10 every time I got a "cash advance" from an ATM machine. Not only that, I was charged 24% becase the "cash advance" was unpaid until the due date. What I mean by that is that even though I paid the amount owed in full on the due date, I was still charged a finance charge because there was a cash advance on the account in the time period.

The card was advertised as having an introductory 0% finance charge for the first few months. After talking...

I have had this card for many years and overall I like this company very much. I have had issues in the past with credit card fraud and they were very helpful. They did not hold me accountable for any charges that were not mine. I've never had any issues with them except last month when I went to use my miles rewards earned. I discovered that it's all or nothing. The quota is 15k, 35k, or 60k miles needed to get a free ticket. There is no way to use partical rewards (i.e. using using a certain amount of miles in order to get a discounted ticket instead of a totally free ticket). It just seemed... read full review »

Great card, they promote it at easy to obtain even with shaky credit history.  I love being able to go paperless on my statements - no need for a company to waste money on paper and postage that I'm just going to shred and throw away anyway.  Online bill pay is also a big feature I like, they're not as fast as my other credit cards in posting the payment but I've never had a problem as I always pay well ahead and the mail would take 5 days or more anyway.  The reps are always courteous and have granted credit extensions when requested.

I think it should be just a little easer to get a visa credit card. If you don't have perfect credit you can forget it. With everything going on these days it is hard to keep perfect credit. They should really give us a break. Just because our credit is not the best doesn't mean we don't deserve a second chance without having to dish out money to get it. I think something should be done about this. The only way we can rebuild our credit is if we can get someone to give us credit. It's a lose lose situation.
