@MASTER HANDWRITING yeah thats ok mam but how i send using Post or email
If you’re making a purchase online, there’s almost surely a way for you to save on that purchase. If you’re a Capital One cardholder, one of your options is to utilize Capital One Offers.
Capital One Offers is a relatively-new and not-well-advertised cashback savings program for Capital One cardholders. It’s somewhat similar to other bank-operated savings programs like Amex Offers and Chase Offers. But, as you’ll see below, there are some key differences.

Offers are only available in the U.S. and only through the Capital One website or Capital One Mobile app. On the website, you’ll find a link to Capital One Offers on your account dashboard under “Earn Credits for Shopping”.
Alternatively, if you’re logged into your Capital One account, you can access Capital One Offers directly by clicking this link.
However, beware that the Capital One Offers page will load even if you don’t have an eligible credit card. I found this out the hard way when logged into an old Capital One account that was only connected to a closed credit card. Despite this, I was still able to open the Capital One Offers page and click through to a merchant to make a purchase.
Capital One Offers is available to Winter village bryant park 2015, consumer credit cards. Your Capital One card needs to be open and in good standing to take advantage of this savings program. Capital One specifically specifies that business credit cards and checking and savings accounts aren’t eligible.
Capital One doesn’t share a list of all of the personal credit cards that are eligible for Capital One Offers. So, you’ll want to check your Capital One credit card to make sure that the “Earn Credits for Shopping” section shows on your account dashboard.
Cards eligible for Capital One Offers include U.S.-issued personal credit cards. See our list of best Capital One credit cards if you’re interested in Capital One Offers but don’t currently have a Capital One card.
Capital One Offers works the same whether your Capital One credit card earns miles or cash back. Either way, you’ll earn statement credits on your credit card account. Unfortunately, there’s no option to earn bonus Capital One Miles instead. That limits the upside potential for those that maximize Capital One’s airline and hotel transfer partners.
As it’s limited to consumer credit cards, Capital One small business cards aren’t eligible for Capital One Offers. However, small businesses can use plenty of other savings programs.
Capital One Offers works a bit differently than Amex Offers, Chase Offers and other bank savings programs. In most programs, cardholders need to enroll in an offer on the website. Then you simply make a purchase with your activated card consistent with the offer’s terms.
Instead, Capital One Offers works more like a shopping portal. When you click on an offer, Capital One links you to the merchant’s website for you to complete the purchase. That means you’ll need to go through Capital One Offers immediately before you make the purchase.
Technically, you have 24 hours to complete the purchase after clicking the link. However, to be a qualifying offer purchase, you’ll need to use a qualifying card to make a purchase during the “same open browser session”. To be safe, it’s best to just wait until you’re ready to buy before clicking through from Capital One Offers.
When you click “Save Now” on an offer, Capital One will open a new browser tab with the merchant’s website. Don’t close the Capital One tab yet. Instead, click back to that tab to note your “activated offer reference ID” for this site visit. This reference is useful to note in case the savings doesn’t automatically post to your credit card account.
Speaking of posting, Capital One Offers warns that it can take up to 3 billing cycles before a statement credit is posted to your credit card account.
Note that these statement credits aren’t a substitute for making a payment on your account. If you can’t pay your balance in full, you’ll still need to make at least the minimum payment on your credit card statement.
There’s a big downside to how Capital One Offers is set up: You won’t be able to stack Capital One Offers with other savings programs.
With most Amex Offers and Chase Offers, the terms of the offer only require that you use your enrolled card. The bank then checks your posted transactions for eligible purchases. Because of this, cardholders can often click through a shopping portal to save twice: once through the shopping portal and again through the bank savings program.
However, since Capital One Offers acts like a shopping portal, you won’t be able to use another portal at the same time. That significantly reduces the potential for savings.
Capital One Offers also limits how much cardholders can save through the program. Each eligible Capital One credit card is limited to a total of activate my credit card capital one in statement credits every three billing cycles.
It’s unclear if this limitation is applied on a quarterly basis or is applied on a rolling three-statement basis. Either way, beware of this limit if you’re a power user of Capital One Offers.
Capital One offers a wide range of offers. At time of writing, my Capital One card is targeted for 115 offers.
Unfortunately, Capital One Offers aren’t grouped into categories. If you’re looking for a particular merchant, you will have to manually search the list. There’s no search tool and you can’t even use your browser’s search function. That means you’re going to have to scroll through the long list of merchants to find a merchant that you want to utilize.
Since Capital One Offers is set up as an online shopping portal, all offers require a purchase to be made online. Most of us are making more online purchases than ever anyway, however, this means certain types of purchases typically made in-person aren’t going to be eligible—such as purchases at restaurants and many types of travel purchases. You’re not going to be able to save on these types of purchases through Capital One Offers.
With that said, there are still some travel offers available:
The travel offers may interest you if you have a Capital One travel rewards card because you could use the offer, wait for your statement credit (as long as it comes within 90 days), then erase the rest of your purchase with miles.
Although Capital One Offers aren’t divided into categories, there are some specific categories with a few merchant offers.
If you still haven’t done your taxes, you can save on tax services:
As with any shopping portal, meal delivery kits are common—including offers from:
Although there are only a couple of pet-related offers, the cashback rates are solid:
Online flower merchants are another staple of shopping portals. Unfortunately, the current rates are rather minimal through Capital One Offers:
Capital One Offers isn’t the only way to save on online purchases. There’s a bounty of shopping activate my credit card capital one available to online shoppers. And you’ll want to make sure that another shopping portal isn’t offering a better deal for the same merchant.
One of the best tools that we’ve found to compare shopping portal payout rates is CashbackMonitor. Unfortunately, Capital One Offers isn’t listed on CashbackMonitor. But, it can be helpful for comparing Capital One Offers with a few dozen other shopping portals.
Let’s take an example. One of the Capital One Offers that caught my eye was KiwiCo. The 15% rebate rate intrigued me enough to look into the unique crate-delivery program for kids and consider getting a present for my niece.
Then I checked CashbackMonitor and found that there are plenty of other portals that are offering enticing rates.
The best of these is clearly Rakuten, which is paying out 22.5% today. That’s 50% more than the cashback I can get through Capital One Offers. Even better, Rakuten lets members opt into earning Membership Rewards points instead of cashback. Since travelers can often get much more than 1 cent per Membership Rewards point in value, this option is even more valuable.

Capital One Offers gives Capital One cardholders another option to save when shopping online. However, the program works more like a shopping portal than a bank savings program like Amex Offers. Savvy online shoppers may do better by stacking online shopping portals and other bank savings programs or just by going through another shopping portal.

Q: I have a question about my Capital One consumer credit card account. We have three people on our account. We added our son as an authorized user on the account years ago to help him build up his credit history. He never actually had the card or used the account. When we received a card with his name on it before, we just put it aside.
We just received our new cards with EMV chips from Capital One. Previously, all of our cards had the same account number. With these new cards, each has a different account number. And on our statement, it breaks down the transactions between my wife's card and mine.
Are these still all part of one account, or is each now considered as a separate account? And will the balance reported to the credit bureau be the same for each of us, even if we had different amounts of purchases? What if we don't activate our son's card? Will this account still show up on his credit report and help his credit rating?
G.P., North Royalton
A: This was a new one for me. We normally see separate account numbers under one umbrella account only with corporate accounts. These help companies track spending by different employees.
But Capital One is indeed doing this with its newly issued cards, said Capital One spokeswoman Sukhi Sahni.

This has nothing to do with EMV chip technology, she said. It applies to all Capital One cards. Each individual on an account gets his or her own, unique number, which allows the primary user to easily track card usage. In some cases, the first eight digits of the number will be the same among all of the cards on the account; the last eight digits will be different. But all of the cards are still considered part of the same master account.
You'll still get one statement with one minimum payment due and one total balance, but the transactions will be divided among each of the card holders.
It's still one account and that account will still be reported to the credit bureaus as before. "There is no change in credit bureau reporting," Sahni said.
Further, when you activated the card for the primary user, you should have received a message that all of your cards had been activated and were ready for use.
I'm assuming you had checked your son's credit report in the past at no charge through annualcreditreport.com and found the Capital One account on his report. You (or he) should request his report again in a few months, or whenever it's time for that annual check-in. In the meantime, if you're worried, you could always activate his card separately to make you feel better, and still put it aside as you did before and not allow him to have it or use it.
While www walmart one com up for a new credit card is exciting—who doesn’t love cash back and travel points?—there are lots of reasons you may end up not activating your card when it arrives.
In some cases, you might simply forget, but you if you’ve decided you no longer want the card, you should think twice before you just throw it in a drawer.
Let’s look at what happens if you don’t activate a credit card, what to do if you miss your chance to activate it and what the possible downsides are of skipping activation.
We all get busy and it’s easy to let that pile of mail on the kitchen counter grow. If your new credit card is sitting in that pile, you’re likely wondering, “What happens if I don’t activate a credit card?”
If the reason you haven’t activated your credit card is that you’ve decided you don’t want it anymore, ignoring it isn’t the solution. Not activating a credit card is not the same as closing it. Still, the repercussions of not activating a card are something you’ll likely want to avoid.
One of the most immediate impacts you may feel when you don’t activate a credit card is paying an annual fee without enjoying the cardholder benefits.
Your account is opened when your application is approved, so even if you don’t activate the credit card you receive in the mail, you still have an open account and you’ll still need to pay the annual fee associated with it.
This applies to secured credit cards that come with fees as well. If you forget to pay the annual fee, it can count as a missed payment which can hurt your credit score.
Interest and late fees can also come into play here. When you transfer a balance over to a new card and activate my credit card capital one activate it, interest and late fees can begin to mount if you forget about the a balance.
Your credit score can also be negatively impacted if the credit card issuer reports your late payments and a high credit utilization rate (if you transferred a balance you’re not paying down) to the credit bureaus.
As soon as you open a new credit card account, a report with your credit limit and other pertinent info is sent to the three credit reporting bureaus, so managing your card is something you need to jump on right away.
When considering how long you have to activate a credit card, it’s important to check in with your credit card issuer to nail down the exact time frame. In many cases, you have 45 to 60 days to activate a new credit card.
Some lenders will reach out if you don’t activate your card during the activation period to confirm you received it but that’s not a guarantee. The clock starts ticking the day you’re approved, since that’s the day your account opens.
If you don’t activate your card during the activation period, you may need to contact your credit card issuer to request a new card so you can activate the new one instead.
If you have a credit card that will expire soon, keep an eye on your mailbox. Credit card issuers send replacement credit cards as much as six months in advance of your expiration date. You don’t need to wait to activate this new card—you do it as soon as you get it. Make sure you destroy your old card as soon as you activate the new one.
Ideally, you’ll always activate your credit card right away to avoid running into any activation issues. All you have to do is follow the instructions you receive in your acceptance letter for online activation or call the phone number on your card.
If you choose to do it by phone, it can be helpful to make that call from the same phone number listed on your application so the credit card company can more easily confirm your identity. If you’re an existing customer, you may be able to activate a new card through your issuer’s mobile app.
The process of how to cancel a credit card that was never activated varies by each credit card issuer but generally, the issuer will reach out to you if you wait too long to activate your new credit card.
If the credit card company calls you, this call can serve two purposes. On their end, they’re hoping to remind you to activate your credit card. On your end, it gives you an easy opportunity to let them know you want to close your account.
If you want to close your account, you shouldn’t wait for this call, but it is a good time to do it if you forgot to cancel the card.
To cancel a credit card proactively, you can call your credit card’s customer service line and inform them that you want to close your account.
First, confirm with the customer service rep that there aren’t any fees associated with canceling. You’ll also want to check that you don’t have a balance on the card (more likely the case with a balance transfer card) before you close it.
If you want to get any fees waived (like an annual fee) on a new card, also confirm with the customer service rep that those fees will be dropped and get confirmation in writing, as well as confirmation of your request to close your account.
For extra confirmation, you can send a letter to the credit card company via recorded mail stating the date the account was closed, as well as your name, the last four digits of your account and any other important details.
Once your account is closed, properly dispose of the credit card. You can do this yourself or return it to the issuer in person or by mail.
There aren’t really any benefits associated with not activating a credit card. It’s easy to assume that not activating a new credit card is the same as not opening a new credit account but by the time get a card in the mail, the account is already open.
Ignoring a new credit card can lead to paying fees without reaping any of your cardholder benefits. In addition, you can damage your credit score if you forget to make payments on interest and fees and you may have to go through the hassle of requesting a new card if you wait too long to activate the first one. If you want to cancel your credit card, it’s best to call the credit card issuer right away.

Whether you’re getting your very first credit card or adding another rewards card to your collection, getting a new credit card can be an exciting experience. It usually takes a few days for your new card to arrive in the mail, but you might not have to wait that long to use it.
In some instances, you may be able to use a new credit card before you’ve received the physical card. Although not all cards offer this option, it’s worth looking into if you need to use a new card quickly. Whether you want to fund a big purchase or get a head start on earning cash back or free travel, here’s how you can use your new credit card before it arrives in the mail.
Using a credit card before it arrives is possible — but only with certain cards. If you want to use a credit card early, you must have either an instant use card or a credit card that offers virtual account numbers.
With an instant use card, you can apply and get approved in a matter of minutes, which gives you instant access to the account. One of the most common types of instant use cards is retail store cards, which you can apply for in-store and use to pay for a transaction right after.
Customers who sign up for a retail credit card in-store may receive a copy that they can use right away, says Ranjit Sarai, vice president of digital banking product at Credit Sesame, a credit monitoring service. This can be done by printing the card information on a receipt to capture that first in-store spend, he says. Often, these cards will offer discounts or rewards to encourage customers to use the card immediately.
In addition to retail credit cards, here are some of the most popular instant use cards:
$300
$0 introductory annual fee for the first year, then $95.
13.99%-23.99% Variable
670-850 (Good to Excellent)
50,000 points
$95
15.99% – 22.99% Variable APR on purchases and balance transfers
670-850 (Good to Excellent)
Virtual account numbers or virtual card numbers, not to be confused with digital wallets, are another way to use your card online before it is delivered.
Virtual account numbers work differently compared to physical credit cards. When you get a virtual account number, you receive a one-time-use credit card number each time you make a transaction. When you buy something, you’ll be prompted to enter a personal identification number (PIN) to verify your identity.
The main draw of a virtual account number is that it can be more secure than a regular credit card with a single, reusable number. They can also be easily used online, just as you would a regular credit card.
“A virtual credit card can be used to shop online, which has become increasingly common during the pandemic,” says Sarai. “Additionally, a virtual card can be added to a digital wallet like Google Pay, Apple Pay, or Samsung Pay,” he says.
Because virtual account numbers are less common than traditional credit cards, fewer financial institutions offer them. Here are some offerings available:
Whether you have an activate my credit card capital one use credit card or a virtual account number, it’s a good idea to add the card to your digital wallet of choice. That way, you can use your stored card information before the physical version arrives.
Here are the steps to add a credit card to a digital wallet:
Using a digital wallet to make purchases is also very simple. When you visit a store in-person, check to see if the retailer accepts digital wallets. Most point-of-sale (POS) terminals — what a store uses to process credit card payments — have a small sticker indicating if contactless payments are allowed.
Then, just hold your phone to the terminal and wait for a beep. You may see a pop-up notification on your activate my credit card capital one screen asking you to verify the transaction with a PIN or a biometric login.
There are many reasons why someone would want to use their new credit card ASAP. “Whether it’s a replacement for a previous card that was compromised, or someone’s very first credit card, they should have the option to start using it right away for expenses,” says Sarai.
The only credit cards you can use early are instant use cards and virtual cards. You can also add these cards to your phone’s digital wallet for contactless payments.
One of the biggest reasons to use a card before the physical version arrives is to make a big purchase. This is especially true if you’ve applied for a rewards credit card and want to start using the card ASAP to earn points on your purchases or meet the spending requirement for a sign-up bonus.
Generally speaking, using a virtual account number or digital wallet is very safe. “There are security features within this process to ensure that the phone belongs to the cardholder to help minimize the risk of fraud,” says David Shipper, senior research analyst at Aite Group, a financial research and consulting firm. And once a card is added to a digital wallet, the information is encrypted so it can’t be stolen or hacked.
However, one thing to consider is that using a new card before it arrives might lead to poor spending habits. Just like credit cards make spending money feel less “painful” than physically handing over cash, using a credit card you can’t see may make it even easier to overspend. Ultimately, whether you have a physical card or a virtual one, the keys to responsible credit card usage remain the same: never charge more than you can afford to pay off, pay your bills on time and in full, and try to use less than 30% of your total credit line.

I’ve been using this app for years and prefer it over competitor’s offerings. I like that notifications can be configured and received for every transaction. However within the past week or so, these notifications have been arriving very late — like many hours after the transaction has occurred. E.g. if my wife makes a purchase in the morning on her card I won’t see the transaction notification until the afternoon and I have to ask her if that was a legitimate transaction or not. It’s not very helpful, please look into why these delays are occurring.
EDIT: reduced from 5 stars to 2 stars because the delays in the purchase notifications have gotten absurd. I have iOS and SMS notifications enabled for purchases and both have been arriving OVER TWLEVE HOURS AFTER the actual purchase time. This is plainly ridiculous. Please fix!
EDIT2 (14Jan2020): OK back to five stars for now! The notifications issue seems to have been resolved as the “Instant Purchase Notifications” are back to being “instant”. Overall I have no qualms about this app as it’s easy to use for the few basic things I need it to do, with the notifications thing being at the top of the list. Thank you for the fix!
From what I hear this app and Capital One as a whole is AMAZING for credit card holders but for those that own deposit accounts this app really isn’t that useful! I’ve been banking with Capital One for years and I can honestly say I miss a lot of the features the Capital One Wallet app used to provide. I’d love the developers of this app to take their deposit account holders into consideration and add features like alerts when a deposit is made to my account as well as alerts when a transaction is made over a certain dollar amount. To be clear, when I say alerts I mean actual notifications to my device sent from the app that appear on my home screen. I don’t want to have to receive alerts via text that is so outdated plus I have enough text threads as it is between work and family. I’m beginning to feel like Capital One isn’t interested in investing in their deposit account holders now or even in the future. I believe this company is more focused and geared towards their credit and lending services. To be fair Chase not only provides these basic notification services to customers but they also have added the ability to view what you spend money on weekly to activate my credit card capital one app. I do not want to close my accounts and go over to another bank because I truly enjoy banking with Cap. One. I love everything from the customer service all the way down to the debit card design. But I have a feeling I will leave if I don’t see any changes being made.
We appreciate you taking time to provide us with your feedback regarding the app and its features. We're always looking at ways to make our app be the best it can be, so we'll be sure to pass along your feedback to our dev team. If you have any additional feedback to share with us, feel free to update your review.
For example: I would love to see notifications for my debit card on the app. that would be super helpful to see your spending of any amount of money. So all information regarding your debit card is important too. You can only get texts which helps too, but if you can have texts+notifications all that working at the same time that could be better. I’m pretty sure that we need that on direct deposit account holders too! I can tell that CO credit cards works way more informative, but other bank service apps has the ability to see notifications for debit card spending already. I mean why not have developers/engineers take a look at the benefits and the full potential of this app. Just revamp this app use your skills think big. invest on your product/app/services to get it fixed at its fullest UI customer service, tools, options plus content. Capital One hasn’t been very successful with these updates. so keep an eye on these issues/suggestions think about this! Be the best bank app ever. don’t wait for weeks or even complete months to improve it. Remember when it comes down to $$$ anything really matters!

If you’re making a purchase online, there’s almost surely a way for you to save on that purchase. If you’re a Capital One cardholder, one of your options is to utilize Capital One Offers.
Capital One Offers is a relatively-new and not-well-advertised cashback savings program for Capital One cardholders. It’s somewhat similar to other bank-operated savings programs like Amex Offers and Chase Offers. But, as you’ll see below, there are some key differences.
Learn More
Capital One Offers is a cashback savings program for Capital One cardholders. By clicking through an offer on the Capital One Offers website before making an online purchase, cardholders earn statement credits. There are currently over 100 merchants where you can save using Capital One Offers.
Offers are only available in the U.S. and only through the Capital One website or Capital One Mobile app. On the website, you’ll find a link to Capital One Offers on your account dashboard under “Earn Credits for Shopping”.
Alternatively, if you’re logged into your Capital One account, you can access Capital One Offers directly by clicking this link.
However, beware that the Capital One Offers page will load even if you don’t have an eligible credit card. I found this out the hard way when logged into an old Capital One account that was only connected to a closed credit card. Despite this, I was still able to open the Capital One Offers page and click through to a merchant to make a purchase.
Capital One Offers is available to U.S.-issued, consumer credit cards. Your Capital One card needs to be open and in good standing to take advantage of this savings program. Capital One specifically specifies that business credit cards and checking and savings accounts aren’t eligible.
Capital One doesn’t share a list of all of the personal credit cards that are eligible for Capital One Offers. So, you’ll want to check your Capital One credit card to make sure that the “Earn Credits for Shopping” section shows on your account dashboard.
Cards eligible for Capital One Offers include U.S.-issued personal credit cards. See our list of best Capital One credit cards if you’re interested in Capital One Offers but don’t currently have a Capital One card.
Capital One Offers works the same whether your Capital One credit card earns miles or cash back. Either way, you’ll earn statement credits on your credit card account. Unfortunately, there’s no option to earn bonus Capital One Miles instead. That limits the upside potential for those that maximize Capital One’s airline and hotel transfer partners.
As it’s limited to consumer credit cards, Capital One small business cards aren’t eligible for Capital One Offers. However, small businesses can use plenty of other savings programs.
Capital One Offers works a bit differently than Amex Offers, Chase Offers and other bank savings programs. In most programs, cardholders need to enroll in an offer on the website. Then you simply make a purchase with your activated card consistent with the offer’s terms.
Instead, Capital One Offers works more like a shopping portal. When you click on an offer, Capital One links you to the merchant’s website for you to complete the purchase. That means you’ll need to go through Capital One Offers immediately before you make the purchase.
Technically, you have 24 hours to complete the purchase after clicking the link. However, to be a qualifying offer purchase, you’ll need to use a qualifying card to make a purchase during the “same open browser session”. To be safe, it’s best to just wait until you’re ready to buy before clicking through from Capital One Offers.
When you click “Save Now” on an offer, Capital One will open a new browser tab with the merchant’s website. Don’t close the Capital One tab yet. Instead, click back to that tab to note your “activated offer reference ID” for this site visit. This reference is useful to note in case the savings doesn’t automatically post to your credit card account.
Speaking of posting, Capital One Offers warns that it can take up to 3 billing cycles before a statement credit is posted to your credit card account.
Note that these statement credits aren’t a substitute for making a payment on your account. If you can’t pay your balance in full, you’ll still need to make at least the minimum payment on your credit card statement.
There’s a big downside to how Capital One Offers is set up: You won’t be able to stack Capital One Offers with other savings programs.
With most Amex Offers and Chase Offers, the terms of the offer only require that you use your enrolled card. The bank then checks your posted transactions for eligible purchases. Because of this, cardholders can often click through a shopping portal to save twice: once through the shopping portal and again through the bank savings program.
However, since Capital One Offers acts like a shopping portal, you won’t be able to use another portal at the same time. That significantly reduces the potential for savings.
Capital One Offers also limits how much cardholders can save through the program. Each eligible Capital One credit card is limited to a total of $1,000 in statement credits every three billing cycles.
It’s unclear if this limitation is applied on a quarterly basis or is applied on a rolling three-statement basis. Either way, beware of this limit if you’re a power user of Capital One Offers.
Capital One offers a wide range of offers. At time of writing, my Capital One card is targeted for 115 offers.
Unfortunately, Capital One Offers aren’t grouped into categories. If you’re looking for a particular merchant, you will have to manually search the list. There’s no search tool and you can’t even use your browser’s search function. That means you’re going to have to scroll through the long list of merchants to find a merchant that you want to utilize.
Since Capital One Offers is set up as an online shopping portal, all offers require a purchase to be made online. Most of us are making more online purchases than ever anyway, however, this means certain types of purchases typically made in-person aren’t going to be eligible—such as purchases at restaurants and many types of travel purchases. You’re not going to be able to save on these types of purchases through Capital One Offers.
With that said, there are still some travel offers available:
The travel offers may interest you if you have a Capital One travel rewards card because you could use the offer, wait for your statement credit (as long as it comes within 90 days), then erase the rest of your purchase with miles.
Although Capital One Offers aren’t divided into categories, there are some specific categories with a few merchant offers.
If you still haven’t done your taxes, you can save on tax services:
As with any shopping portal, meal delivery kits are common—including offers from:
Although there are only a couple of pet-related offers, the cashback rates are solid:
Online flower merchants are another staple of shopping portals. Unfortunately, the current rates are rather minimal through Capital One Offers:
Capital One Offers isn’t the only way to save on online purchases. There’s a bounty of shopping portals available to online shoppers. And you’ll want to make sure that another shopping portal isn’t offering a better deal for the same merchant.
One of the best tools that we’ve found to compare shopping portal payout rates is CashbackMonitor. Unfortunately, Capital One Offers isn’t listed on CashbackMonitor. But, it can be helpful for comparing Capital One Offers with a few dozen other shopping portals.
Let’s take an example. One of the Capital One Offers that caught my eye was KiwiCo. The 15% rebate rate intrigued me enough to look into the unique crate-delivery program for kids and consider getting a present for my niece.
Then I checked CashbackMonitor and found that there are plenty of other portals that are offering enticing rates.
The best of these is clearly Rakuten, which is paying out 22.5% today. That’s 50% more than the cashback I can get through Capital One Offers. Even better, Rakuten lets members opt into earning Membership Rewards points instead of cashback. Since travelers can often get much more than 1 cent per Membership Rewards point in value, this option is even more valuable.

Capital One Offers gives Capital One cardholders another option to save when shopping online. However, the program works more like a shopping portal than a bank savings program like Amex Offers. Savvy online shoppers may do better by stacking online shopping portals and other bank savings programs or just by going through another shopping portal.

Whether you’re getting your very first credit card or adding another rewards card to your collection, getting a new credit card can be an exciting experience. It usually takes a few days for your new card to arrive in the mail, but you might not have to wait that long to use it.
In some instances, you may be able to use a new credit card before you’ve received the physical card. Although not all cards offer this option, it’s worth looking into if you need to use a new card quickly. Whether you want to fund a big purchase or get a head start on earning cash back or free travel, here’s how you can use your new credit card before it arrives in the mail.
Using a credit card before it arrives is possible — but only with certain cards. If you want to use a credit card early, you must have either an instant use card or a credit card that offers virtual account numbers.
With an instant use card, you can apply and get approved in a matter of minutes, which gives you instant access to the account. One of the most common types of instant use cards is retail store cards, which you can apply for in-store and use to pay for a transaction right after.
Customers who sign up for a retail credit card in-store may receive a copy that they can use right away, says Ranjit Sarai, vice president of digital banking product at Credit Sesame, a credit monitoring service. This can be done by printing the card information on a receipt to capture that first in-store spend, he says. Often, these cards will offer discounts or rewards to encourage customers to use the card immediately.
In addition to retail credit cards, here are some of the most popular instant use cards:
$300
$0 introductory annual fee for the first year, then $95.
13.99%-23.99% Variable
670-850 (Good to Excellent)
50,000 points
$95
15.99% – 22.99% Variable APR on purchases and balance transfers
670-850 (Good to Excellent)
Virtual account numbers or virtual card numbers, not to be confused with digital wallets, are another way to use your card online before it is delivered.
Virtual account numbers work differently compared to physical credit cards. When you get a virtual account number, you receive a one-time-use credit card number each time you make a transaction. When you buy something, you’ll be prompted to enter a personal identification number (PIN) to verify your identity.
The main draw of a virtual account number is that it can be more secure than a regular credit card with a single, reusable number. They can also be easily used online, just as you would a regular credit card.
“A virtual credit card can be used to shop online, which has become increasingly common during the pandemic,” says Sarai. “Additionally, a virtual card can be added to a digital wallet like Google Pay, Apple Pay, or Samsung Pay,” he says.
Because virtual account numbers are less common than traditional credit cards, fewer financial institutions offer them. Here are some offerings available:
Whether you have an instant use credit card or a virtual account number, it’s a good idea to add the card to your digital wallet of choice. That way, you can use your stored card information before the physical version arrives.
Here are the steps to add a credit card to a digital wallet:
Using a digital wallet to make purchases is also very simple. When you visit a store in-person, check to see if the retailer accepts digital wallets. Most point-of-sale (POS) terminals — what a store uses to process credit card payments — have a small sticker indicating if contactless payments are allowed.
Then, just hold your phone to the terminal and wait for a beep. You may see a pop-up notification on your phone screen asking you to verify the transaction with a PIN or a biometric login.
There are many reasons why someone would want to use their new credit card ASAP. “Whether it’s a replacement for a previous card that was compromised, or someone’s very first credit card, they should have the option to start using it right away for expenses,” says Sarai.
The only credit cards you can use early are instant use cards and virtual cards. You can also add these cards to your phone’s digital wallet for contactless payments.
One of the biggest reasons to use a card before the physical version arrives is to make a big purchase. This is especially true if you’ve applied for a rewards credit card and want to start using the card ASAP to earn points on your purchases or meet the spending requirement for a sign-up bonus.
Generally speaking, using a virtual account number or digital wallet is very safe. “There are security features within this process to ensure that the phone belongs to the cardholder to help minimize the risk of fraud,” says David Shipper, senior research analyst at Aite Group, a financial research and consulting firm. And once a card is added to a digital wallet, the information is encrypted so it can’t be stolen or hacked.
However, one thing to consider is that using a new card before it arrives might lead to poor spending habits. Just like credit cards make spending money feel less “painful” than physically handing over cash, using a credit card you can’t see may make it even easier to overspend. Ultimately, whether you have a physical card or a virtual one, the keys to responsible credit card usage remain the same: never charge more than you can afford to pay off, pay your bills on time and in full, and try to use less than 30% of your total credit line.

Q: I have a question about my Capital One consumer credit card account. We have three people on our account. We added our son as an authorized user on the account years ago to help him build up his credit history. He never actually had the card or used the account. When we received a card with his name on it before, we just put it aside.
We just received our new cards with EMV chips from Capital One. Previously, all of our cards had the same account number. With these new cards, each has a different account number. And on our statement, it breaks down the transactions between my wife's card and mine.
Are these still all part of one account, or is each now considered as a separate account? And will the balance reported to the credit bureau be the same for each of us, even if we had different amounts of purchases? What if we don't activate our son's card? Will this account still show up on his credit report and help his credit rating?
G.P., North Royalton
A: This was a new one for me. We normally see separate account numbers under one umbrella account only with corporate accounts. These help companies track spending by different employees.
But Capital One is indeed doing this with its newly issued cards, said Capital One spokeswoman Sukhi Sahni.

This has nothing to do with EMV chip technology, she said. It applies to all Capital One cards. Each individual on an account gets his or her own, unique number, which allows the primary user to easily track card usage. In some cases, the first eight digits of the number will be the same among all of the cards on the account; the last eight digits will be different. But all of the cards are still considered part of the same master account.
You'll still get one statement with one minimum payment due and one total balance, but the transactions will be divided among each of the card holders.
It's still one account and that account will still be reported to the credit bureaus as before. "There is no change in credit bureau reporting," Sahni said.
Further, when you activated the card for the primary user, you should have received a message that all of your cards had been activated and were ready for use.
I'm assuming you had checked your son's credit report in the past at no charge through annualcreditreport.com and found the Capital One account on his report. You (or he) should request his report again in a few months, or whenever it's time for that annual check-in. In the meantime, if you're worried, you could always activate his card separately to make you feel better, and still put it aside as you did before and not allow him to have it or use it.
Shopping online is a great way to buy things without having to leave your house.
One big concern of online shopping:
The security of your credit card number.
You may accidentally enter your card number on a less reputable site, or the online retailer might be hacked down the road, revealing your payment information to the hacker.
To address these worries, Capital One lets credit card customers create virtual account numbers for safer online shopping. But, what is Eno and how do virtual account numbers work?
Capital One Eno is an intelligent virtual assistant that was created to help customers make the most of their credit cards.
You can sign up for Eno through Capital One’s website. Once you’ve signed up, Eno will send you a welcome text message. From there, all you have to do is text questions or actions to Eno.
The digital assistant can help with various tasks that include:
Eno intends to help you keep track of your account and help you stay on top of your finances.
Featured credit card:
One of the most useful features of Eno is the ability to quickly create virtual card numbers that you can use to make purchases.
A virtual account number is a temporary credit card number that allows you to pay for an online purchase without giving away your real credit card information.
Every credit card has a card number.
For Capital One cards, the number is 16 digits long. That number, plus the expiration date and security code serve to identify your specific card. If someone is able to get ahold of your card number, they could use it to make online purchases without your permission.
When you create a virtual card number, you're creating a second card number that is tied to your real card number. You can use this new, virtual card number to make purchases, and the charges will show up on your credit card account.
You might consider using Eno because it’s much easier to prevent fraud when you use a virtual card number. If someone steals your real card number, you have to ask the card issuer to send you a new card with an entirely new account number. If you use that card for any regular payments, you’ll need to provide the new card’s info to any merchant that charged your old card.
With a virtual card number, you can set specific expiration dates, spending limits, or other restrictions.
If someone steals a virtual card number, they’re likely to be blocked if they try to use it to make a purchase.
Even if they can use the virtual card number, deleting the virtual card number and making a new one is easy.
You could create a separate virtual card number for every online merchant you shop at, making it easy to determine how someone got access to your card number.
Using Eno to make a virtual card number is easy.
One of the best things about Eno:
You don’t have to remember the virtual numbers that it creates for you.
Eno does all of that work for you.
That’s good news because you’re likely to have a lot of virtual card numbers. The card numbers it creates are tied to the specific merchant you’re buying from at the time that the number is created. If you want to use a virtual account number with a new merchant, you’ll need to make a new one.
Keep in mind, virtual account numbers are only for online shopping. You can’t use them at brick-and-mortar stores.
Virtual account numbers do eventually expire, just like real credit card numbers.
Now:
You have to keep track of each number’s expiration date.
If you pay for a recurring subscription with a virtual account number and it expires, you might lose service when the company tries to charge your now expired virtual card.
You can check the expiration date for your virtual card numbers by visiting the Eno control panel on the Capital One website.
The number one reason to use a virtual account number is security.
The reality is that online merchants are a major target for online crime because of the amount of payment information that they have.
Criminals who want to collect people’s payment data have sophisticated tools that they use to steal that information. Cybersecurity experts and cybercriminals are constantly trying to outpace the other when it comes to discovering and exploiting new bugs and techniques.
In all likelihood, your card information being compromised is a when rather than an if.
So:
Using a virtual account number can significantly reduce the impact of having your payment information compromised.
If someone steals your true credit card number, you’ll need to get an entirely new card.
This leaves you without a card until the new one is shipped to you, and means that you’ll have to update your payment information with every company that charges that card. This can be an arduous process and you’re likely to miss a few merchants.
Using a virtual card number makes dealing with this kind of situation much easier.
Just cancel the virtual card number and make a new one.
There’s no waiting for a new card to show up and no updating card information with multiple merchants.
Returning an item bought with a virtual card number is no problem.
When you make a purchase using a virtual card number, Capital One automatically applies the purchase to your real card, even if it never reveals your actual card information to the merchant.
Similarly, if you return something that you purchase, Capital One will credit the return against your actual card, even if the merchant reports the return to Capital One using your virtual card number.
In short, there is almost no reason that you should not use a virtual account number.
Eno makes creating, managing, and using a virtual account number incredibly easy. There’s nothing extra required, just use the virtual card numbers as though they were regular card numbers, and pay your bill like usual. Everything else will be the same.
The security benefits of using a virtual account number are more than worth the very slight effort of allowing Eno to create the virtual account numbers.
The only exceptions to this are situations where you may new to show your card to confirm a reservation or pick up tickets.
If you use a virtual card number for this type of purchase, the merchant will never see your real card number.
When you go to pick up the tickets or check in to the hotel, you won’t be able to show the merchant the card that you used to make the purchase, because the card number that will be on record will be different than the number that is actually on your card.
In these cases, it might be better to make the purchase without using a virtual card number.
That will make it easy to go to the merchant and show them the card so you can check in to the hotel or pick up your tickets.
Eno, Capital One’s virtual assistant, can help you with a variety of tasks, including keeping your card safe by creating virtual numbers for you.
There’s no reason not to take advantage of this service, so keep your card protected by using a virtual card number whenever possible.

I’ve been using this app for years and prefer it over competitor’s offerings. I like that notifications can be configured and received for every transaction. However within the past week or so, these notifications have been arriving very late — like many hours after the transaction has occurred. E.g. if my wife makes a purchase in the morning on her card I won’t see the transaction notification until the afternoon and I have to ask her if that was a legitimate transaction or not. It’s not very helpful, please look into why these delays are occurring.
EDIT: reduced from 5 stars to 2 stars because the delays in the purchase notifications have gotten absurd. I have iOS and SMS notifications enabled for purchases and both have been arriving OVER TWLEVE HOURS AFTER the actual purchase time. This is plainly ridiculous. Please fix!
EDIT2 (14Jan2020): OK back to five stars for now! The notifications issue seems to have been resolved as the “Instant Purchase Notifications” are back to being “instant”. Overall I have no qualms about this app as it’s easy to use for the few basic things I need it to do, with the notifications thing being at the top of the list. Thank you for the fix!
From what I hear this app and Capital One as a whole is AMAZING for credit card holders but for those that own deposit accounts this app really isn’t that useful! I’ve been banking with Capital One for years and I can honestly say I miss a lot of the features the Capital One Wallet app used to provide. I’d love the developers of this app to take their deposit account holders into consideration and add features like alerts when a deposit is made to my account as well as alerts when a transaction is made over a certain dollar amount. To be clear, when I say alerts I mean actual notifications to my device sent from the app that appear on my home screen. I don’t want to have to receive alerts via text that is so outdated plus I have enough text threads as it is between work and family. I’m beginning to feel like Capital One isn’t interested in investing in their deposit account holders now or even in the future. I believe this company is more focused and geared towards their credit and lending services. To be fair Chase not only provides these basic notification services to customers but they also have added the ability to view what you spend money on weekly to their app. I do not want to close my accounts and go over to another bank because I truly enjoy banking with Cap. One. I love everything from the customer service all the way down to the debit card design. But I have a feeling I will leave if I don’t see any changes being made.
We appreciate you taking time to provide us with your feedback regarding the app and its features. We're always looking at ways to make our app be the best it can be, so we'll be sure to pass along your feedback to our dev team. If you have any additional feedback to share with us, feel free to update your review.
For example: I would love to see notifications for my debit card on the app... that would be super helpful to see your spending of any amount of money. So all information regarding your debit card is important too. You can only get texts which helps too, but if you can have texts+notifications all that working at the same time that could be better. I’m pretty sure that we need that on direct deposit account holders too! I can tell that CO credit cards works way more informative, but other bank service apps has the ability to see notifications for debit card spending already. I mean why not have developers/engineers take a look at the benefits and the full potential of this app... Just revamp this app use your skills think big... invest on your product/app/services to get it fixed at its fullest UI customer service, tools, options plus content. Capital One hasn’t been very successful with these updates.... so keep an eye on these issues/suggestions think about this! Be the best bank app ever... don’t wait for weeks or even complete months to improve it. Remember when it comes down to $$$ anything really matters!
