I just discovered another peculiar thing about CapitalOne cards. My daughter is planning some overseas travel, so I recommended that she get a Cap1 card for its low forex fees.
I noticed on the application that there is a place where she can enter a friend's (my) Referral ID, which probably pays maybe $25 to the friend. I don't know my referral number, so I searched the Cap1 site for it. I found this text:
What should I do with my referral ID?
Your referral ID is unique to you, and is found in your original referral invitation. Use it when you submit your referrals online. This number can not be supplied to you again by our call center associates, so you need to save a copy of it for future referrals.
How strange, that they want you to refer your friends but then take away the incentive to do so.
