Do we know how far back Capital One looks to see if the applicant has previously held an account? I am not asking what their rules say, but do they actually look back to 1994 (or earlier)?

That I am not sure of, but it's very possible they go back to the beginning. You can always send the referral and see if it works, I don't see a negative effect of that. That would be an excellent DP.

Had a Spark Miles Business card from 10/2019-10/2020, but haven't had an account with them since.

TIA
Venture X referral T&C states that the person has to be a new Capital One credit card customer. I referred my wife end of January who is a new Capital One credit card customer (her first card with Cap One), but NOT a new Capital One customer ( she has checking and savings bank accounts with Cap One). She was instantly approved but I haven't seen any referral bonus post yet. But, I have read reports that the bonus does take a few weeks to post, so we shall see!
There is no clear language that I could find that says that existing Cap One bank customers wont be eligible, so I rolled the dice!

AFAIK you won't get the referral bonus until your wife meets the minimum spend and receivers her bonus.

Min spend is the condition for wife's SUB. Referral bonus only requires the referred person to be approved.

.

Approval is the condition for the referral. I received my 25k well in advance of P2 completed spend.

In the same boat as you. Friend had a checking account that they closed but no prior credit cards. Keep us updated! Hopefully we'll both get the referral bonuses!

C1 card referral questions and issues (No offers in this thread)

My $200 credit is still MIA for a Airbnb charge that posted on Feb 4th! Called Customer Service and just got the useless "wait 2 cycles" before they will look into it. Tons of people getting the credit in 3-4 days, so not sure why this charge (it is for a valid Airbnb stay, and not a gift card purchase) wont trigger the credit! Has something changed recently in how C1 is posting the credit?

My 25K referral bonus has also not posted, and I have been waiting almost a month! I had read about folks getting the bonus fairly quickly as well. Either C1 doesn't like me , or something seems to have changed on how C1 posts credit/bonus.

I'm sure you're aware, but if not, I too thought I was missing my 25k referral bonus. But found out the person referred has to be not only new to C1X but also C1 in general. Kinda a bummer, but I suppose understandable. Just a thought.

And as a point, I too was waiting over a month for my AirBnB credit. Called in and got the usual. Ended up canceling the AirBnb, for other reasons, but hope that doesn't put a snag in things when I go to use the credit again.

When my DW used her C1X credit it posted in like 4 days. Wonder if it has something to do with the new year as she got and used hers right when the card was launched.

I called because I don't have the refer a friend option and was told it was because I recently upgraded. I asked about the previous accounts rule. Referrals are eligible after 540 days (1.5 years?) after closure of an account. You can even have an open non-branded Capital One card like Williams-Sonoma, Walmart, etc. and be eligible.

P2 had a referral link immediately after approval. Never seen that before!

Bah! Well, just looked at when I closed that account, I thought it had been longer. Closed 508 days ago. Oh well. Maybe I'll get lucky.

The referrals now reflect the 75K point offer.
