  3. [R6] Capital One Mobile 3/5 · US Good for managing your account: The constantly bombard you with offers to spend more money..
  4. [R9] Capital One Mobile 3/5 · US Credited: My issue is that I feel that it takes relatively way too long for the payment process in the delivery and accessible credit to your account and really isn’t making any sense and it hinders me to pay bills when the delay is so long and strenuous

  9. [R1] Capital One Mobile 1/5 · US Interest: Your interest is too damn high!!!! That way, I don’t like Capital One
  10. [R18] Capital One Mobile 3/5 · US Too many popup ads: I really like the app and no fee structure for the bank accounts but in the past 4 years they have visibly added more aggressive marketing of new services and features, to the point it’s distasteful and I’m considering switching banks. Literally every time you open the app or navigate to a new page there are multiple popups, even if I click out of all of them they’ll just reapp
  11. [R27] Capital One Mobile 1/5 · US Charges: I was charged $30 three times without notice. I have paid every month!
  12. [R32] Capital One Mobile 5/5 · US Best card to have: I love the BJ’s with Capital One. With this card I get 15 cents off a galón of gas, and 5% on the club 2% on everything else I buy. Love the savings.
  13. [R16] Capital One Mobile 2/5 · US Referrals: App works great! Just don’t bet on your referrals actually making it into your account. I made two referrals that were completed and only one went to my account. Was told my capital one they can’t do anything about it. Overall it’s an okay app just don’t refer and expect the money!(Was not at the limit)
  14. [R17] Capital One Mobile 5/5 · US My Capital: I had Capital One for over 15 years. It’s been great. No issues at all. Every time I had a problem they took care of it for me.
  15. [R21] Capital One Mobile 3/5 · US Customer service: Great service everywhere
  16. [R26] Capital One Mobile 5/5 · US Very pleased with this credit card company: I had a serious problem with a few cards which resulted in all my accounts being suspended and then closed, I reached out to capital one and you listened and corrected the situation and my credit score with back up 154 points in 3 weeks.
  17. [R38] Capital One Mobile 5/5 · US I love it: I’ve had a great experience with Capital One. Their mobile app is easy to use, banking is convenient, and I appreciate how simple they make it to manage my accounts from anywhere. Customer service has always been helpful whenever I’ve needed assistance, and I like that many of their accounts have no unnecessary fees or minimums. The only thing I wish they would improve is having more ph
  18. [R40] Capital One Mobile 5/5 · US Customer Service: Many companies have lost the importance of quality customer service these days. I’m old enough to remember that “The Customer is King” was the standard. This is the standard at Capitol One.
  19. [R69] Intuit Credit Karma 3/5 · US Credit numbers are false.: They give u 2 credit agency’s numbers that are false. Don’t believe what u see.
  20. [R76] Intuit Credit Karma 1/5 · US Not Accurate: This information is never accurate and takes far too long to update. Moreover, finance persons refuse to accept CK information as valid.
  21. [R78] Intuit Credit Karma 3/5 · US Incorrect information: You really need to look in to a person‘s credit before you start posting a credit score. You’re very slow on gathering information. I have stuff on my credit report that should no longer be on my credit report after eight years of being there.
  22. [R81] Intuit Credit Karma 3/5 · US Accuracy: CK claims if payments are made timely this will affect a FICO, yet the suggested payments are made but this does not change an account. In addition, it takes a long time for CK to accurately report any new accounts.
  23. [R64] Intuit Credit Karma 2/5 · US Ads opening my Intuit app: I had this app and used it however every time an add played, it went into my phone and opened the app!! That’s a big NO for me!! I deleted the app
  24. [R70] Intuit Credit Karma 1/5 · US Too much: Credit Karma sends too many notifications on a daily basis. More importantly they provide misleading notifications that entice you click on the app. I received a notification that said ‘Equifax is registering an actionable item on your credit report in regard to said card’. It was complete b.s.
  25. [R91] Intuit Credit Karma 1/5 · US update made app useless: the app has been rendered useless after the most recent update; the homescreen is a garbage mess. it wasn’t broken, why change anything? its also nothing but advertisements & fake notifications
  26. [R109] Intuit Credit Karma 1/5 · US Infinite notifications: I think the guy who invented the pop up ad became intuit’s CTO or something. I get about 50 (not kidding) push notifications per day. Want to be reminded every 12 minutes that you can open a credit card? Have you forgotten that you could take out a loan? Download this app and you’ll never miss another chance to take advantage of outrageously obnoxious offers.
  27. [R59] Capital One Mobile 1/5 · US “We hit a snag”: I can’t imagine a worse app. Whenever I need this I get hit with an error on the splash page saying “we hit a snag” and with no way to access my app. I have tried updating, quitting and restarting… sometimes it just isn’t working. This is a real problem. I estimate the app works 10% of the time. I have been hit with late fees multiple times because of this. Buyer beware. I am
