CAPITAL ONE - Modify your Features button

minimock — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 15:39:34 GMT

Has anyone ever got anything out of this sadistic button? I have a Plat for 4 years with perfect history, and I cant get that thing to do anything.

Was just curious if anyone ever got something out of it besides "Features are not available for your account" deadbeat LOL, you just know there is some counter someplace racking up total clicks, and some analysts taking bets around the water cooler on how many times the monkey hits the sadistic button LOL

Nothing for me.

I did convert one of my platinums to a VentureOne card, but I received that offer in the mail.

I'm guessing that button only works for some cards. Probably no options available for the rebuilder cards. I have a Classic Plat with a $39 AF and that button has never done anything for me. But someone with one of the Prime cards might be able to PC through that. Maybe someone with a Venture can hit it and tell us if there are any options available.

Nothing for me either, and i hit it at least once a week. Doesn't really matter, as i seldom use the card anyway. I just don't get Cap One sometimes

yeah ive been hitting that stupid button for yearrrs now...never anything.

This Visa Platinum was my first card about 4-5 years ago so I guess its probably not one of the cards that has any potential.

Nothing for me either. I have read on the forum that one person had a conversion offer, but that has been a few months ago. So they do exist, but it seems only rarely.

What card do you have? If people would list what cards they have, it would help collect accurate information. The amount of Cap One rebuilder cards on here is overrepresented (no offense if you have one, I do too). But so much of the Cap One info I feel is skewed in that direction. I don't know if it is accurate to say that it rarely has anything if the only info we have is from rebuilder cards that aren't eligible for modification. Perhaps you have one of their Prime products and still don't receive offers. That would be interesting to know.

I can only go off of what I have read here, so you are right that it is a small sample to go off of. Having said this, I am not seeing this thread light up with news otherwise, so until it does I will stand by my observation that it seems rarely to happen.

I have the Platinum CC and the Rewards CC.

I had the Platinum Visa from Capital One and just got it upgraded to Venture One. I called customer service because my computer messed up and sent my payment through twice, after he fixed that issue he told me my card was eligible for an upgrade to the Venture One card. This was my first credit card and I've had it for almost 5 years. It took 3 years for them to give me my first CLI and now 2 years later they upgraded it! Since I got my upgrade over the phone, I can't really speak to if the online button actually works, but maybe you should try calling them?

I have a secured platinum MC and a No Hassle Cash MC. Not gonna try the button for a year with the rewards card.

I clicked and recieved/accepted an offer to upgrade my visa platinum to a no hassle rewards card a few weeks after the 'modify your features' button showed up on our accounts a few years ago, like several others posted at that time...since then, nada.

ROTFL!!!!

As I made mention of on another thread, please feel free to check out it's older cousin:

The Really Big Button That Doesn't Do Anything

ETA: One of the comments from the site linked to above is just as apropos of the Cap1 button:

"I just don't get it," says <snip>. "I mean, it's a button, sorta like the other piccy-links on the web, but I push it and it doesn't do anything. It's SUPPOSED to take me somewhere cool on the web or give me a sound file or an MPEG. (Substitute appropriate function for Cap1 button) But it doesn't. I don't get it! WHY GOD WHY?!?

Just talked to a Account Specialist about upgrading my accounts. He said given my history with them, I should be eligible to upgrade and I should keep checking that "modify your feature" button. After I told him that I've checked for the last year and nothing ever comes up, he told me that some cards are just not upgradable. He couldn't tell me if mine was one of those cards or not, and he did say that there was no way to tell.
