Money when you need it

5
Capital one credit card is brilliant for when you need to buy something now but payday is a bit away. If you need shopping you can buy now and pay on pay day. The online site for capital one is very easy to understand and use. Making a payment or just checking your balance is so easy. Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

Easy to see where i stand

4
I have a capital one classic credit card and this review is about the online site and the ease of using it. I have found it really easy to log in and see where my balance stands and all my purchases and payments are all on one screen so no need for me to keep having to look for things. All transactions appear really quickly so that day to day you know what you have spent and when you see that must have item, its very easy to see if you have enough on your balance to purchase it. Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

Brilliant when credit history is bad

5
Being a full time mum and having a poor credit history I didn't have much hope in getting a card, but Capital one accepted me and gave me an average credit limit. They quickly increased the limit too after regularly using and paying off the card. Highly recommend Reviewed on: 28th March 2016
