- Log in to your online account.
- Click the “I Want To” option on the account summary page.

- If eligible to receive a referral bonus, you’ll get a personalized referral link that you can share with whomever you want to refer.
- The person you refer will have to apply for one of your eligible cards using your link.
- Each approved referral will earn you a bonus, up to a certain amount per calendar year (depending on the card). The person you referred will not get a bonus other than any initial bonuses part of their card’s reward structure.
You can also refer a friend to a Capital One credit card through the bank’s mobile app for Android or iOS. To get started, tap the “Refer a Friend” title on your account details page. You should also keep in mind that you’ll be ineligible for a bonus if you have an account in default.
