Complaint Hub<p><strong>This is why you always pay with a credit card</strong></p><p>Yesterday morning around 10am, I got a notification of a charge on my credit card. I didn’t recognize it – it was about $10 at walmart.com. We generally do not patronize union-busting establishments (don’t ask me about my Amazon Prime account), so this was unusual. I called Capital One and they cancelled the card. This was frustrating, though necessary, since I know the number by heart and I’ve become somewhat attached to it.</p><p>By 1130, I had a notification on my phone that my card number on Google Pay had been updated so I could continue to use Google Pay even though my physical card was cancelled.</p><p>Noon today, my new card arrived via FedEx.</p><p>It’s really amazing that in barely more than 24 hours, the ONLY issue I have is having to memorize a new card number. Capital One even updated the number at many of my existing recurring payments, and provided a list of those they were not able to change themselves. I’m going to wait until I get an email saying they couldn’t charge my card because I’m lazy, but I appreciate the thought.</p><p>So, just one more reason to get a <a href="https://www.capitalone.com/credit-cards/venture-x/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Capital One Venture X</a> card. It’s about $400 a year but that comes with a $300 travel credit if you book through their service. It covered my Global Entry fee, and there are a ton of other benefits. It’s the best credit card I’ve ever used.</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://complainthub.com/tag/capital-one/" target="_blank">#capitalOne</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://complainthub.com/tag/credit-cards/" target="_blank">#creditCards</a></p>
