Capital One Platinum Costco MASTERCARD Consumer Reviews

I applied to get my credit card 2 months ago from Capital One because I’m a regular Costco customer, they gave me a temporary card and they were supposed to send me a permanent card, and I never received it, I phoned them to see why and they said that they had my address wrong, so they asked me again for all my information in order to send me another card and again I never received it, so I phone again hahahahaha and they said it was weird, so they send me a third one by express post, I finally received it and I phoned them to activate it and they said "Ok, everything is good now, you can use it", so I tried to use it and it was not working, I phoned again and the agent representative told me that they have to send me another one hahahahahaha I totally refused his offer and I asked him to cancel my account and everything, they have really poor and inefficient service... what can I expect from a small bank? Tomorrow I will go to get a real card from a real bank!!! It is disappointing and at the end of the way I don’t feel comfortable because I don’t know where my information is, should be somewhere in the city :(

The Capital One credit card is a joke. I get it with an 8k limit but I charge around 40k per month on my Presidents Choice financial card. I was talked into this card at costco and when I called they said they could not raise the limit for 1 year because I am a new client. So I charged about 3 times the 8k limit by paying it off and charging again. I did that for two months and tired of that so I overpaid my card by 5k thinking it could be applied to my credit limit. Well I was wrong, I charged 8k and its been 11 days and it still says I have no credit limit left when I clearly overpaid my card by 5k. I call in and they said overpayments dont count and I asked how it could take 11 days after it said payment processed to apply it to my account. I am going back to my credit card and have applied for MBNA, maybe I will have better luck there. Costco should know that the company told me they are not in the business of giving credit and the card is only meant to be used at costco. Yikes, what a response from Capital One, a joke of a credit card company.

I had a regular Capital One card & online account. Then I applied for this nightmare COSTCO card! WHAT A MISTAKE! It screwed up my online account, didn't recognize my phone number, and left me on hold for hours! Oh, and the card never arrived after ONE MONTH of waiting! After reading all these reviews, I realized that I had made a grave error by applying for this card, so I called my regular Capital One phone number, and told them to get my application CANCELLED. That has been done, and good-bye for good, Costco Capital One Card... Our relationship was short, and NOT sweet!

Capital One Mastercard has the one of the worst customer experiences on this planet we call earth. I honestly don't know how they are in business. Also, they have tens of thousands of 5 star reviews on their website. Do they know it's illegal to write and publish fraudulent reviews? I've been placed on hold day after day while trying to activate my Capital One Costco Mastercard. If I didn't like Costco so much I would have bailed. I fear Capital One is hurting Costco's reputation by offering horrid service while being attached to Costco's brand. In summary, Capital One sucks. They must hate their customers with a passion. Whey I finally got to a human he sounded angry. He was a man who hates his job. His hatred his employer, Capital One, their customers and life itself was clearly communicated through his tone of voice. Capital one must treat their employees as poorly as they treat their customers. My recommendation when applying for a Capital One MasterCard. "DON'T!!!" There are a lot of better cards out there. After days and days of calling them I still don't have an active card. Capital One Mastercard SUCKS! If I could give a minus 5 star review I would.

I received a replacement credit card with a phone number to activate the card. When I called to activate on the phone the system doesn't recognize my credit card number, and connects to a Customer Service Agent. Every time the wait time is above 45 minutes and subsequently get disconnected. I wasted about three hours and couldn't reach a customer service agent.

Terrible wait times just to activate a new card. The only message that gives me is that their time is more important than mine. Just hung up after two nights in a row to try to activate a new card. System was down last night, no idea what the issue is tonight as I hung up after a 30 minute wait time. With the high interest they charge, they should be able to hire staff.

and not even an indication as to when they will pick up. After twenty minutes on hold I went to their website for live chat...there I was given an estimated time of 35 minutes. Incredibly bad service.

Why would a great company like Costco partner with such a terrible company.

The only reason I got this card was to shop at Costco.
They have switched their online banking service which they originally said would be done by September 18th but then without any notification now say it is September 25th.
Today when I tried to re- register for online banking , it asked me for my information and then said the information was invalid which was false. I had to phone the company wait on hold for at least 20 minutes to be told they had moved their change date to September 25th. Why the heck did it not say that when I tried to re-register? !!!! Where is the communication and consideration for their customers. It is lacking.
