Review of the Capital One, Classic Credit Card:

Excellent service over 15 years

5
I have had a Capital One credit card for 15 years and have nothing but praise for the service. When an online accommodation company went bust I got my money back from Capital One, the whole process was very quick and painless. I have also benefitted from cashback so I have no hesitation in recommending Capital One. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

Very good credit card. we have been using it for a long time Reviewed on: 31st January 2019

High interest rates

2
I used my card by mistake - it's the same colour as my debit card - and it took me over my card limit. The card didn't get rejected and I got charged for going over my limit. Odd that it wasn't just rejected Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

awesome

really easy to apply and a total lifesaver Reviewed on: 3rd January 2019

Good credit

5
I like the company makes sure they rate a person accordingly and an opportunity to see if they accept you with out affecting your credit score. Reviewed on: 17th December 2018

The app contains details of both my cards

5
The app is easy to use and I can switch between both my card balances. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

This card will keep you credit rating low

1
Capital One market their cards as credit builders however they keep your credit score low by NOT increasing your credit limit past £1000 which flags a lack of trust to other lenders... all is nit as it seems with this company so beware before you apply very high interest rates and low credit limits. Poor customer service is just the tip of the iceberg Reviewed on: 14th April 2018

Grwat company!

5
Very good Customer Service, very helpful staff and brilliant at spotting fraudulent transactions. A* Reviewed on: 5th April 2018

Fast, Efficient and Practical

4
Approval was fast and efficient and I was kept well informed of the process from start to finish. Managing the card is easy through a variety of avenues from a customer care line to their polished and very useful app, and the service is exactly what you need for a daily use credit card. Reviewed on: 5th April 2018

There when you need it

4
I don't know what I'd have done if Capital One hadn't accepted my application for a credit card! They took me on when no-one else would. The repayments are manageable and their website is really easy to use. They reward my loyalty and reliability by increasing my credit limit by sensible amounts. Reviewed on: 4th April 2018

Got accepted when no one else would give me a card

Had no issues with the card or app Reviewed on: 4th April 2018
