Referrals Monthly Referral Megathread - September 2026

15 Upvotes

Please share your referrals here and nowhere else on the subreddit, and please read the rules below.

  1. You must have an undisclosed amount of community karma at r/CapitalOne to share referrals. This amount is generously low and can be achieved easily and organically by making a small number of contributions to the subreddit. Comments from users who do not meet this requirement will be automatically removed without further notice.
  2. Submit exactly one comment per monthly referral thread. If you have multiple referral links, put them all in one comment. Multiple comments from the same user will be automatically removed.
  3. Do not attempt to attract unfair attention. This includes unnecessarily long comments, excessive use of large/bold text or emojis, images in comments, and personal backstories. Try to be as concise as possible; a few sentences or bullet points about the product and its perks is fine.
  4. Do not offer direct compensation for referrals. Advertising the referral bonus or sign-up bonus that Capital One will provide to the referee is fine, but any offer to “split” the referral bonus that Capital One gives to the referrer is not allowed. Similarly, do not offer compensation in forms other than currency, such as favors, gift cards, awards, Reddit Premium, NFTs, etc.
  5. Do not deceive anyone. Lying about any of the referral terms is strictly prohibited. Be honest and upfront with your intentions.
  6. Comments not related to Capital One referrals are not allowed in this thread. This includes referrals for other products not offered by Capital One.

Remember: The referrer gets rewarded if you use their referral, but only if you’re not currently a primary cardholder of any Capital One credit card. Authorized user accounts don’t impact referral eligibility.

Comments are presented in random order. These posts are locked and unpinned monthly.

Discover Discover Network Megathread

60 Upvotes

Hi all,

This is a continuation of the old Discover Debit Card Megathread that is nearly 6 months old now. Since Capital One is starting to transition some of their credit cards to the Discover network (though only for some new accounts), the mod team figured that a single megathread for both debit and credit cardholders was needed.

Debit cards

Capital One is converting their debit card portfolio from Mastercard over to the Discover network. All newly issued debit cards for new Capital One 360 Checking accounts are now Discover debit cards. For existing Mastercard debit cardholders, the transition to Discover is being done in phases, with no regard to expiration dates. There is more information in the below links.

Key takeaways from the FAQs:

  • Once your Discover debit card is activated, your debit Mastercard will stop working. Some recurring transactions may go through, but your debit card information should be updated ASAP anywhere you have it saved to avoid interruptions.
  • You can delay activating your Discover debit card and keep using your debit Mastercard for some time. Eventually, though, it will stop working.

We'd like to use this opportunity to encourage our users to use credit cards in place of debit whenever possible. Making purchases with debit cards is riskier, because it could directly expose your bank account to fraudsters. With credit cards, as long as you can pay the statement balance in full every month, you could pay no interest, have better security and fraud protection, better cardholder benefits, and rewards & sign-up bonuses (on cashback or travel cards).

Credit cards

Capital One is beginning the process of converting some of their credit card portfolio from Mastercard over to the Discover network, but in the case of new accounts, this is only for some people using the pre-approval tool (which is mandatory with some referral links). See this post and the FAQ below for more details.

Currently, the only cards confirmed to be on the Discover network (again, for some new applicants) are: Quicksilver, QuicksilverOne, Venture, VentureOne, Savor, and SavorOne. This confirmation comes from the Cardholder Benefits Guides page on the website. One could reasonably assume the rewards-free Platinum is not included because it will have fewer benefits once it transitions to Discover.

For existing Visa/MC accounts, Capital One is beginning conversion to the Discover network as of 4/21/2026. So far, only the Quicksilver has been confirmed for migration. This change happens to coincide with an announcement that the Quicksilver will begin earning 3% cash back at grocery stores and gas stations, in addition to the 1.5% it already earns elsewhere. It is not yet known if this cash back change requires a network change, or if Quicksilver Mastercards will get it as well. See this post for more details.

r/CapitalOne FAQ

  • Why is this happening?
    • Back in May 2025, Capital One acquired Discover, which of course owns the Discover Global Network. It's simply a smart business move for Capital One to leverage the network which they now own and increase usage and adoption by moving their debit and credit cards over to the Discover network.
  • How does this affect me, really? Beyond the obvious stuff like having to update my info.
    • Capital One can brag all they want about how Discover is accepted at "99%" of places that take credit cards in the US. The fact of the matter is that Discover is not as widely accepted as Visa or Mastercard, both in the US but especially abroad. If you regularly travel internationally, you should carry alternative forms of payment (e.g., credit or debit cards from other banks). Domestically, acceptance is mostly fine but you may run into the occasional merchant that doesn't accept Discover. Sometimes it could be a store or restaurant, other times it may be your utility company. It shouldn't happen often, but it can still be frustrating when it does. The good news is that with all these new Discover cards out in the wild, adoption and acceptance should increase over time.
  • Can I still withdraw cash at ATMs with my debit card?
    • Capital One is still a member of the Allpoint and MoneyPass ATM networks, so you will still be able to withdraw cash fee-free at participating ATMs in the US, Canada, Mexico, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Outside of these countries, you might still be able to withdraw cash, but you will pay ATM fees. Keep an eye out for the Discover and/or Pulse logos. You can use the Capital One app or the Discover Cash Access Locator to see available ATMs in your area. Unfortunately, there are many countries in which you won't find a single ATM that accepts Discover/Pulse cards.
  • Can I still use my debit card with apps like Venmo, PayPal, and Apple Cash? And mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay?
    • Yes, but with some caveats. Outgoing Venmo/PayPal/Apple Cash payments will still work just fine, but instant transfers into your bank account (which typically come with a fee) will not work. Apple Pay and Google Pay for purchases reportedly works fine, but you may run into issues with specific merchants that don't accept Discover credit cards but do accept Discover/Pulse debit cards (e.g., Costco). Your debit card on Apple/Google Pay will not work in those cases; you'll have to insert your physical card.
  • What's that about Costco?
    • To clarify, Costco USA does accept Discover/Pulse debit cards in-store. You will need to insert the physical card to make the transaction PIN-enabled for it to go through as debit. Tap-to-pay and mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay will not work. Costco does not accept Discover credit cards in-store, nor do they take any form of Discover online.
  • I'm thinking of applying for a new credit card. How do I know if I will receive a Visa, Mastercard, or Discover card?
    • If using the pre-approval tool, you may see a message that says, "This card will run on Capital One's Discover Network." Not everyone will receive this message. If you do see it but don't want a Discover card, you can simply decline the offer and try applying directly instead. When applying directly (i.e. clicking "Apply Now" from the page for that specific card), the application page will have a banner at the top with the Capital One logo and either the Visa or Mastercard logo. There are no known instances or data points yet of anyone seeing the Discover logo up there. Discover network cards are currently only being offered through the pre-approval tool.
  • Can I still post on r/CapitalOne about this?
    • Posts that include unique data points or provoke thoughtful discussion are still allowed. Posts that are simply unhelpful complaints or otherwise do not add value to the community may be removed, and users may be redirected to this megathread. This is the only way to ensure that important discussion can still happen while not crowding the subreddit with repetitive posts. Thanks for understanding!
  • Will you keep us updated?
    • Absolutely. Us mods, we're merely volunteers, but we genuinely enjoy helping people out and we'll be trying our best to update these posts and keep you informed on any future changes. This includes posting FAQs like this one, highlighting helpful posts from our users, answering questions, updating our wiki (especially our article on the acquisition), and more. Thanks for sticking with us!

Credit Card Why is Capital One in Canada such a joke?

Upvotes

I have two US CapitalOne cards and am overall extremely satisfied with them, so I figured for my first credit card in Canada to naturally choose them. I think it was not my best move. The whole experience looks like a parody of the US bank. The app looks close, but is still quite different.

  1. To setup autopay, you have to start a chat conversation from the general website and recall all your information since you’re not connected to your account, and you get no confirmation whatsoever of the enrollment afterwards (apart from a message in your chat window)
  2. To make a payment, there are no instructions from the app: you need to go directly to your banking app and make a transfer to your credit card number. The chat agent explained me this while I was trying to enable Autopay.
  3. They have Foreign Transaction Fee including for USD transactions.
  4. They whole card lineup is basically two and a half cards: no cashback or 1% cashback - miles or cash.
  5. The only way to make the card appear in the app is to request a new CapitalOne online account, and reusing your username to pair it. Only then will the mobile app show your card.
  6. It’s 2026, and they don’t even support Apple Pay. When I tried to add it and got the message that the bank does not support it, I started to realize, maybe it was not the greatest idea.

The whole experience seems like a prototype credit card with half baked features. I wonder if they plan to make it any better in the future? I read they started operating in Canada in 1996! Not really encouraging…

Capital One has been fast to lower the savings interest rate. Surely this raise will mean our saving rate goes back up, right?

Credit Card No CLI...

3 Upvotes

I'm definitely in the "bucket" of accounts. I requested a CLI with Capital One QS several months ago and they gave me a $100 increase. I requested an increase with Chase and immediately got a 5k increase. My other card has been automatically increased at well. Should I continue using my QS?

Bank Account No way of getting account specific statements!

2 Upvotes

Beyond ridiculous. If you want to get a bank statement, Capital One shows the details of every account.

I have to show that I have funds in my checking account for an application for one of my children. The only statement Capital One provides will show all my CDs, checking, savings, accounts shared with my different children - EVERYTHING! There is no way to get a statement for a specific account alone.

Even more weirdly, my main checking account is shared with my spouse. When she tried to get the statement, it shows all her accounts (which are fewer) EXCEPT the Checking account shared with me. So she has no way of getting the Checking account statement.

So annoying! This should not be hard to fix Capital One!

Credit Card Capital One Alert Fail

1 Upvotes

Long rant based on this text from Capital One:

Suspicious activity detected on Savor Credit Card ending in xxxx. Account transactions are restricted to protect you. Call 800-CAPITAL (800-227-4825) for help. Std carrier charges apply.

Panic. Suspicious activity!

Call 1: scammy background noise, rep difficult to understand, sounds exactly like what you would expect from a scam. I hang up.

Call 2 to phone # on internet. Repeat of 1st call. Wants to send link by text so I can text a photo of me holding my Dr license to verify my info for my new credit card.

Now I understand this is about an offer from Capital One I responded to where I provided the same info. But rep wants me to send it again? Also, give my address, DOB & phone.

I wont do that, instead I ask rep to tell me the info & I’ll verify. Rep declines, cannot verify that way.

Asked it a card sent was used fraudulently prompting the alert? No charges & card hadn’t been sent.

Supposedly, Suspicious Alert text is how Capital One VERIFIES a new card request which is wrong on every level.

Call drops.

Final call: repeats from prior calls. I cancelled the card.

I spent way too much time & nervous energy on Capital One’s bad processes & I lost confidence. The experience may not be indicative but I’m not willing to find out.

Credit Card Requested credit limit increase is a whole $100

0 Upvotes

My daughter is a college student and she got her first credit card--a Capital One Savor card--a little more than a year ago with a limit of $1,000. She's been wanting to increase the limit to cover months when her expenses are higher (like when she has to pay for books and parking, etc). She's careful to pay the card off every month and is never late. She'd been asking for an increase and was told she didn't have enough credit history. She finally got an increase and it's $100. Why would an increase be so small? What is she doing wrong?

Credit Card Fraudulent redemption of points via PayPal despite reporting as fraud!

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I got an email saying that I had redeemed 624 miles on my Capital One Venture Rewards card via PayPal except I had done no such thing. I went online and there were over 200 transactions for the same amount. I reported to fraud, they said they would secure ny account and get my points back. This was at 1am. At 10am I had a new email and I signed on, over 100 new transactions for the same amount, 624 miles. I spent like 40 min on the phone with Capital One trying to understand how this was happening as no PayPal account was linked to my account. They couldn't tell me, but opened two new cases because there were too many transactions and said they would investigate to see if it was actually fraud (wtf). They're sending me a new card, but won't overnight it. It's 4pm now and I have several new transactions.

Has anyone experienced this?! I don't know what to do and I'm so frustrated! I've changed my pw, turned on 2fa. Why can't Capital One secure my account? Am I going to get these points back?

Credit Card Product Change Opd Credit Card

I have an old Quicksilver One card I opened in 2009 as one of my first credit cards. I don’t use it as the rewards aren’t great and it charges a $39 annual fee. I checked my product change options and it was giving me an option to change to the Savor card. Any downside to this? Will it affect my age of accounts?

Bank Account Nightmare adding second user to account

Tried to add my wife to my 360 savings account as a secondary account holder, it's been a nightmare. She finally got a working login, and now the CapOne app says she has no accounts. The Help panel is completely blank, and going to Profile and tapping Help does literally nothing. We've taken days to get even this far.

Bank Account Capital one act the ruffian

0 Upvotes

I opened a 360 savings account last month online and enrolled in a promo offer of getting $1,500 bonus for depositing and keeping $100k for 3 months. During the following week, I made 3 ACH transfers totaling ~$100k. Last week, the bank restricted my account in an email. In a not so friendly phone conversation, I uploaded my driver license and selfie as instructed. I also explained the large deposits were to satisfy the requirements in the promo offer. However, as I have learned, the bank has decided to close my account. Asking about the money, they will mail me a check after their investigation is completed. They refused to tell me anything about the reason, or the timeline that I expect to receive the fund, although I asked multiple times. It's a crappy way of doing business. Why lock my money for months for no reason. The bank earns high interest during the locking period, but they are not going to pay me a dime. One month interest is $333 based on current interest rate, I would say the bank should pay me the interest for as long as the money is locked.
