Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received an offer through my capital One credit card account to receive {$150.00} in rewards cash for signing up for new XXXX XXXX home internet. I used the link, taking screenshots of the offer for confirmation, followed the prompts, signed up for a new eligible XXXX home internet plan. The offer stated the link must be used, and finalized within XXXX hours to be active and any purchase used on the capital one credit card. However, at the end of the transaction there was no balance. I had no activation fee, no fees for the equipment, and because I have good credit there was no deposit. I finalized the transaction and received confirmation from XXXX. 

Since then I have contacted capital one regarding the offer and was told it would arrived within 45 days ( as stated in the offer ) however as of XX/XX/XXXX I have not received anything. Today I spoke to XXXX capital one supervisors and they stated there was no XXXX purchase on the card, which I was aware of. I explained to them both that it is not possible to have a purchase for this offer. Unlike other Capital One offers, this is a service that is billed later, not a live purchase. XXXX supervisor suggested I should have paid the bill with it, however that wouldve been nearly XXXX months after the offer and obviously the link would be expired. I have read that others have been tricked into using this offer for new service through this link and its not possible for the capital one system to honor this reward automatically as no one can confirm a purchase since XXXX doesnt charge anything when activating. It is a Capital One system error that needs to be corrected or a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX needs to be removed. If they have an internal system that can confirm if the link was used or not, they should be able to confirm I signed up for service through it, but are refusing to.
