Tutorial to check for Capital One PC options

[NoMoreE46]

This is a tutorial for anyone interested in how to look for PC upgrade options for their existing C1 card.

C1 gets a good amount of views and often, folks are asking about PCs options within the Approvals or what not.  To try to keep those threads on-topic, I decided to post this tutorial so it could be it's own thread for ease.

There are two  three ways (TY @FireMedic1 )  to check for your options-   naving via the Website or via the App. 

[Edit]  Adding the URL link as 3rd option:

https://www.capitalone.com/?external_id=%2Fproductupgrade  

Website screenshots:

Select the card you want to PC and then click I Want To

and then View Offers and Upgrades

and finally,  Explore Upgrades

Hopefully, you will be presented with your PC upgrade options.

From the App, Tap the applicable account for the PC.

Scroll to the Special Offers, tap View All. 

Tap Explore upgrades

Hopefully, you'll be presented with a few PC upgrade options.

My QS shows an offer to BT at purchase APR (~16%) with no BT fee.  Not all that useful!

Love it! It's a very frequent question that comes up on these forums.

If you don't mind, add the "=/productupgrade" link on there as well. I think it'll help a lot of ppl.

Hey @StephenH,

Thanks for mentioning this open secret !

This verbiage to add is basically a short cut to the same landing page from the website option.   Anyone can certainly add the =/productupgrade  to their particular URL for a direct jump.   For most though,  it is probably easier to navigate there with three clicks instead.

+1 for adding the direct product upgrade link as the other navigation options may not be there for everyone.  Prior to getting a PC from a QS1 to a VentureOne via the direct link about 4.5mo ago, neither the "view offers and upgrades" on the website nor the "special offers" option in the app were ever visible for me.  I had no way to get to the upgrade page without the direct link.  Ever since upgrading it's always there on desktop (though I have no worthwhile offers) and is there on the app (no offers just "we're still learning what's best for you")

That's nice. Pity they are not offering anything I like. Also I am on the way to drop them as a issuer in my collection because of how bad their products are. I remember a time they actually tried to care but oh well.

Same, except at my insane 31.24% APR. No thanks, I'll use one of the many 0% APR BT options I can easliy get if I need to do a BT.

@NoMoreE46  that's pretty cool -- is that unique to Capitol One?

For a lot (most?) of us, "/productupgrade" is completely different from clicking through the app or webpage.

For instance, the only offer I see when I do the 3 clicks is a BT offer (at 31.24%... you're not the only one, @isik!). But if I use the /productupgrade link, I see the option to PC to the Venture One. Back when I converted my Platinum to a Quicksilver, my offers page was completely blank, but the secret link worked.
