Terrible customer service and policies
Using CapitalOne travel was the WORST experience I have ever had booking travel. I would rate them a -10. I used CapitalOne travel service or the first time last year in July. After I purchased my airline ticket, I unfortunately had to cancel due to illness. I received an airline credit only to find out that my credit needed to be used on two different airlines. I was not informed before buying my ticket that due to purchasing one ticket with two different airlines (one leaving and the other coming home) that I would have to travel like this when using my credit. I have been trying to use my credit for about 5 months now, but I am being shot down every single time by some policy or another that is a "CapitalOne" policy and NOT the airlines. Most of the calls I made to CapitalOne I got a representative that was very rude, even the managers. I called one of the airlines directly to ask about their policy, only to find out it is different from CapitalOne. CapitalOne is trying to tell me I have to use my credit by expiration date or lose it, while the airlines tell me (and I found it on their website) that I only have to book before expiration date and I can fly any time after that date. Long story short (I called CapitalOne 5 times to try to work something out with them to no avail) So I do not lose my credit, I will now pay $50 to the airline (JetBlu) to take over my credit and they will book something for me before my expiration date (July) and I can fly any date I chose after. I have since closed all three of my banking accounts with CapitalOne and will soon cancel my credit card. I will be posting this on every social media outlet I can. Lesson: ALWAYS book direct with the airline.....NEVER use CapitalOne travel!!
