Capital One Venture shutting down rewards transfers - temporarily?

I just received this email from Capital One stating how rewards transfers will not be allowed after September 15. They say temporarily but I think that is unlikely. My wife and I both have cards and we consistently combine the points for bigger purchases. Transfers are the only reason we use the Venture over the Arrival+ which offers the 10% redemption bonus as otherwise they are basically identical. I guess the Arrival+ has just made it to 1st place on our everyday spending card list.  "Recently, we’ve been working to provide you with even better ways to manage and redeem your rewards. As we update our program, we’ll be making changes to some redemption features you may have used in the past. As of September 15, 2015, the following redemption options and features will change:If you gave someone else permission to redeem rewards on your behalf, they will no longer be able to do so as of September 15, 2015. You’ll need to redeem your own rewards after that time.The ability to transfer rewards from one Capital One® account to another will be unavailable; however, we know this feature is important to our customers and will be working to bring it back at a later date.Remember, if you’d like to use the above features, please do so before September 15, 2015. We look forward to improving your rewards experience in the future!" 

There are apparently some changes to the rewards structure of the Barclay Arrival Plus card that are not so good. They're bringing down the 10% bonus travel rebate earning  to 5% starting sometime late 2015-2016 (depending on when you first applied and received the card). They're also increasing the minimum redemption amount from 2500 to 10K miles, which is a bit of a bummer. Things are definitely changing for this card - you can't even apply for one anymore (for the time being, that is).

  • 3 out 4 isn't bad, the 4th one is shutting down

    I just got 4 822's Friday. 3 of them work fine, the 4th one is
    shutting down. So we have been doing the pull the battery routine.
    I called customer service on Sunday. They were very helpful,
    said we have to do a full software reload as the first step, if this does not
    work call us back and we will ship you a new phone. Very professional and I
    felt good after the call.
    I called today, because the software reload did not fix the
    issue. A different Verizon answered. The Verizon "customer service" I
    got today was up sale central. Can some logic be applied to your phone scripts?
    If I just upgraded everything 4 days ago, do you really think I want again so soon?
    Also if I am calling back on a repeat issue, do you feel I will be in the mood
    to listen to the sales pitch? After today's call, I am frustrated and concerned
    that there will be mistakes made in which phone I need replaced and if they
    made changes to my account.
    After saying no every way I know how, they finally decided to
    send me a replacement phone. Hopefully this one will be like the other 3.

    Try to ping 4.2.2.2 .
    If you get replies from the same number then try to ping yahoo.com and see if you get replies.

  • Capital One Venture Card approval proccess

    So I helped my wife apply for the Cap One Venture card with the 40k bonus offer. The screen shot stated "You are approved"  you will receive your card in 7-10 days but  did not give any other info such as CL etc. When I applied for that same card I was immediately notified that I was approved and my liimit was 20k.  I contacted the 800 number and the recording said that the application was under review. I assume that is under review in regards to determining the initial CL and APR?  Any thoughts, experiences with applying for this card.

    Congrats on both approvals!       In my wallet: Capital One (secured) 1917; Quicksilver 5000; Venture 15,000; Barclay Apple Rewards 2000; CareCredit 3300; Bank of America Platinum Visa 2000; Bank of America Travel Rewards 3500; Bank of America Travel Rewards 3500; Amazon Store Card 5000; Discover 10,000. Total Credit: 51,217.

  • My HP Pavilion All-in-One often shuts down during PC games.

    My HP Pavilion All-in-One is just a year old. It shuts down more and more frequently with PC games like Age of Empires and Age of Titans, and the online game Wizards 101. Can anyone tell me why and what I can do about it? The games were not from original disks and I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Thanks

    Linda, welcome to the forum.
    It sounds like a heat problem to me.  Most laptops and All-in-ones are frankly not meant for gaming.  Also, you could try installing any patches that are available for the games.  This could be part of the problem if not the heat.

  • Itunes shuts down when transferring audio books to Library

    I have downloaded several audio books. There are now in my download folder. When I attempt to transfer one of them to my Library I get a Windows error message that says itunes must shut down. This is a fairly new problem. In fact one of the Audio books I am trying to transfer is part two and I sucessfully downlaoded the first part a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for your help.

    Friends:  Here's the answer to at least my problem of having iTunes crash most of the way through Step 3 of the iTunes Match process:  There were Voice Memo files mixed in with the music files.  Although both are listed as *.m4a files, the match system hiccupped when encountering them.
    Solution:  Use the "Info" button to find out where the possibly offending files are located.  Go to that location and move them someplace else. 
    Once the offending files are gone the entire process works like a charm.
    Now why couldn't Apple have told us that little "secret" instead of having us *customers* thrashing around in the dark?
    Hopefully this will help someone else out there.

  • Capital One Venture Approval and Lowes Approval after verification

    Capital One applied July 16th didn't get a decision until July 27 (that's when letter is dated, but I just found out today when it came in the mail). Originally asked me to fax documents, then said documents were too dark and needed to re fax, then EO wanted me to email documents, then I got a denial letter that I couldn't retrieve, reps said it was because they couldn't identify me, theeeeeeeennnnnnnn they said EO never sent them my IDs that I emailed. I have active military ID, drivers license and vet ID from my last deployment. Still weren't good enough. So I was resolved to accept the denial and close my accounts (have investments, and savings with them as well as QS One and secured card). I told EO department this through email. So needless to say, the letter I received today stated I had been approved for 10,000. I previously worked for Capital One and I know that if you have a certain amount of money with them they automatically can recon  your account if you ask but I didn't meet that threshold. However, I think they approved me to keep me as a customer. (come on, I used to work there, sent in two IDs, a SS card and randomly a birth certificate and you still deny me due to not being able to identify me lol) Just glad that's over. Bought some appliances for my mom and applied for lowes card. Was hoping to convince the rep to let me use military discount with 5% everyday. after having to call verification team (this again..) I was approved for SL of 2000. I will ask for higher CL tomorrow. So after much stress to prove i'm not jimmy joe from down the street, I did okay LOL.

    ImaginaryFriend, I burned them in 2009 and they've approved three cards for me so far this year.

  • Capital One Venture

    So I got approved for a Venture One about 4 months ago for $5k and CLI to $7k at 3 months.I have been applying for a Venture Card for about the last 3 months and the Capital One system always auto denies it saying that I have a pending application already (like doesn't even process the application and does not pull credit)I had spoke with Executive office over a month ago and they offered to manual review the application but I declined and just tried to wait out 30 days and apply again because I feel like these computer approvals are better.Well finally about a week ago after applying again and after instantly declining (not processing) I called and asked it be manual reviewed.I just received a piece of mail that says:Cograts, you should receive your card in 5-7 days.Approved for $10,000!

    Too late for me  My app with Venture was on 6/28/2015. Does this still mean I can get another card? I don't care about the pull since my inquiries are disgusting and I just want some prime cards.check pre-qual... if you get offer you can get another now... otherwise I would wait until your card is 30 days old.

  • HTC ONE randomly shut down now requires password to decrypt storage..

    I have had my ONE for a couple of months and had MULTIPLE issues but this one takes the cake!   I was in Wal-Mart and the phone randomly shut down with a full battery.  It would never reboot on it's own so I had to push power down and volume down to get reboot screen.  When it finally restarted, it came up with a screen that says "Type password to decrypt storage" or "place an emergency call".  I never set a password so am unclear on what to do from here.  Tried to factory reset but it doesn't work.  Any advice??

        That's pretty strange, dstenz50. It takes a few steps to encrypt a phone http://bit.ly/1kdQYgh and I haven't come across it doing the process on it's own. Has anyone had access to your phone? Did you previously set up a PIN or password to your device? What's the exact message you're seeing?

  • Capital one venture restriction

    just started using the card, figured id put my everyday expenses on it gas grocerices pharmacy and today when i checked my accouts just to see what my tab was i noticed i had a account restriction on the new acct, i immediatly called in they verified my home phone, had me hang up and call back and verify my purchases, the whole process took maybe 5 min. and the restriction was immediatly lifted. whew!!! im imagining what if i was doing other things like on vacation major embarassing

    Yeah, CAP 1 has been doing that for a while.  They do it mostly when your charge declines in the store also.  I was on edge once in a long line and the card decline at check out. When I called, they thought it was fraud and I had to hang up for them to call me back.Wow... this is surprising to hear.  In my case Capital One has never even flinched, even when they have the right to.  I've shopped at a grocery store at 2AM at a store hundreds of miles away from my billing address, and I actually expected to have to call them but it worked - just like it always does. I also recently made my an international purchase over the internet for the first time with my Capital One card; I chatted with them to let them know I was about to make the purchase, and the CSR acted confused as to why I was even bringing it up.  The int'l charge was approved, and I've used my card for small overseas purchases several times since then, all without calling and each time it's been approved. USAA, on the other hand... is a different story.  I really, really like them, but for better or worse, their security is a bit more tight.  Actually, my Capital One card is my go-to if there is ever an issue with my USAA account, since I'm usually not in the mood to call the bank when I'm at the register if I have another card I know will work.

  • My IMac shuts down when transfering files to a Hard Drive through USB

    Hi all,
    I have been having trouble with my IMac. It's over 3 years old and I didn't actualized the operative system. Everytime I try to transfer files from the computer to a hard drive or pen drive (through USB), the computer shuts down. Sometimes it restarts, sometimes it gets shut. I wonder what's the issue and if getting a newer operate system (Snow Leopard maybe) will help.
    Thanks

  • My ipad one keeps shutting down when I open a page

    it shuts down whether I am using Chrome or Safari, any suggestions?

    That is very interesting in that my iPhone was exhibiting similar behavior with the "blue screen of death" with Pages a few months ago. An update for Pages came out and when I installed the update, the problem disappeared.
    Is Pages completely updated on your iPad? Do you use iCloud with Pages? If you use iCloud, try turning it off. settings>Pages>Use iCloud>Off. You will not lose your documents since they will still be in iCloud even if you turn that off on your iPad.

I actually called them back before 30 days to make sure no pop up balance came up so they wouldn't report a late charge.

  • AC1200 seems to overheat and shut down when transferring large data amounts

    I have the AC1200 in an AC network.  While it is nice to have as a range extender, I bought it primarily to use as an AC bridge to two music servers that require ethernet connections.  
    Each night, i transfer data wirelessly from my desktop computer to one of the music servers that is connected to the AC1200.  I have noted that, if the data being transferred takes more than half an hour or so to stream, the AC1200 frequently drops off the network.  Then, when I go to restart it manually, I find that its case is very warm, sometimes almost too hot to touch.
    The unit sits, exposed, on top of the cabinet in which the servers are located. Absolutely nothing impedes the flow of air from the top, bottom, or any side of the unit.  
    Doe ths unit run hot normally or does the transfer of "excessive" amounts of data cause it to overheat to the point it shuts itself down?  I was using firmware with a June 2014 date, but, just before writing this, updated to the latest version, from July 2014.  The unit is about two and a half months old.  Other than this issue, it seems to be okay for its intended use.  
    Any thoughts? 

    I've had this problem off and on for the entire time I've owned the unit. I've spent hours and hours with tech support, both online chatting and on the phone. I did notice the unit was quite warm, but guess I thought that was somewhat normal and never mentioned it to tech support. Mostly the problem is that it drops the signal after 20 to 30 minutes when streaming movies or music. I think the unit is defective, but apparently can't get tech support to deem it so unless I spend even more time doing the same things over and over. (uninstall, reinstall, reset, rename and around and around we go.) 
    My 90-day warranty will expire in a couple days. Meantime, I just spent another 41 minutes talking to customer service this morning; they said that since I had to end the last chat session (after 2 hours) I still need to talk to tech support AGAIN and go through "troubleshooting" AGAIN until the tech deems it defective.
    I am so fed up with this I could just scream.  I even paid for tech support at one point early on, because I gave up on this unit and reinstalled my old range extender. All I needed them to tell me was how to re-establish a network connection/internet access, and it cost me $30 to find out I had to remove my network before I could reconnect to it...a 1-minute operation. How much punishment should I take?
