Capital One Refer a Friend is Capital One's referral program for its credit cards. It rewards current cardholders for telling their friends and family (and even total strangers, if you feel like it) about Capital One. If your friend signs up (and in the case of credit cards, is approved), you'll get a bonus. Note that only new cardholders are eligible, so if your friend already has a card open with Capital One, they aren't eligible.
How does the Capital One Card referral program work?
To refer someone you know, you'll send them a unique link that they can use to sign up for the card. It will redirect them to the application.
Here's how you find the link:
- Sign in to your Capital One account and find your account summary page.
- Select the option that says, 'I Want To' which gives you a list of options to choose from.
- Click 'Refer and Friend' from the list and your account-specific link will appear.
- Send your link to your friends.

If they apply and are approved, you get a referral bonus. However, if they don't use your referral link to apply, you won't earn a reward-even if you were the one who told them all about it. You'll also only earn the referral bonus if they apply for a card you currently have.
How much is the bonus?
The bonus amount varies by card, but the referral bonuses are limited to $500 (or 50,000 miles) per year. Capital One doesn't put a limit on how many times you use Refer a Friend, but once you reach the $500 limit, you will no longer be rewarded for referrals.
When do I receive the bonus?
It can take some time for your reward to hit your account. It can take up to eight weeks to receive your rewards.
