Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Capital One offered a complimentary XXXX XXXX membership for six months. After enrolling, the cardholder received a monthly statement credit for the monthly cost of the membership. 

I was enrolled for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  months, I was charged {$9.00} and received the statement credit within 4-5 days. However, for XXXX I did not receive any credit. Capital One has no online or chat contact option so I called customer service. After 45 minutes and being transferred to five different people I was told I must contact XXXX regarding missing statement credit. I attempted to contact XXXX through the app and the website and received more than a dozen responses that were either non-intelligible or non-responsive. It was clear that the customer service agents were not reading my complaints as they were asking for details that had already been supplied, Frustratingly they insisted that only Capital One could issue the statement credit even though the terms of the promotional offer clearly state that the all credits were issued by XXXX. Even after I provided the original offer that stated this, XXXX 's only response was to contact Capital One and they stopped responding to further complaints. After I received two statements and the credit for XXXX and XXXX, but still had not been issued the credit for XXXX, I contacted Capital One by phone again I encountered a completely useless phone agent who did not speak fluent XXXX and had no solution except to tell me to contact XXXX for the credit even after I had already explained that XXXX had redirected me back to Capital One. I insisted on being transferred to a supervisor or someone who could resolve this issue. Finally after another XXXX minutes, the supervisor agreed to issue the {$9.00} credit.more than six weeks after it was due. 

It really should not have taken two hours of my time on the phone over six weeks plus countless time wasted exchanging messages with XXXX to receive a credit for a promotional offer that was supposed to be a perk Capital One offered to its customers. Capital One should reconsider who it partners with and the level of customer service those partners provide ( which in this case was terrible ). Additionally Capital One should empower its phone agents to actually provide customer service : I had done more than {$10.00} of business with Capital One in the previous nine months prior to this incident, yet the agents could not issue a {$9.00} credit to which they had already confirmed I was entitled to?
