Cap one

RobbieJay

Hi guys. I've recently opened an account with capital one and received the card today. I rang up to activate the card as requested by the sticker. The advisor said it would take upto 24 hours to activate. However I logged in to the website only to be greeted by the message that my access to my online account has been changed and to ring an 0800 number to discuss my account. I tried to ring only to be told my balance and available credit. Does this mean I can't use my card?
Thanks in advance

I recently applied and got a capital one card try go to the capital one website but with /activate at the end of the address. Activated mine and was able to use it a few days later, I actually got my pin before my card

Unfortunately that option is for American card holders. I am based in the uk. I can't even add the card to PayPal.

Why do you not do what the agent has told you wait 24 hours and then start using the card? Has it now been over 24 hours? Does the card work?
