When I activated my Menards Capital One card, I found the online method to be the fastest. The Activate.capitalone.com website was user-friendly, and the entire process took less than 5 minutes. I suggest the mobile app if you value convenience because it allows you to track spending, set notifications, and pay bills while on the move in addition to activating your card.
If you don't have internet access, the phone approach is equally dependable. When I tested this route, customer service was helpful.
