    I have tried several times to activate the new card I just received. However, your site has decided not to let me do this. It keeps sending me to the bill payment page even though I keep trying to go to capitalone.com/activate. Apparently because I tried too many times, UNSUCCESSFULLY, to get to that site, you have now chosen to lock me out of my account. I am temporarily without phone service, so I cannot call you. I would appreciate your fixing the SNAFU and giving me the correct instructions on how to activate my card online. Thank you!

    Giving a 4 rating for now because I got my Platinum card activated with no problems,but can’t find any useful info about getting a PIN anywhere,just “We may give you a personal identification number (PIN). For security reasons,you may have to provide the PIN before you are able to use your card” Well….duhhh…Does Capital One send it separately or can I get one through my online Capital One account somehow?
