When I activated my Menards Capital One card, I found the online method to be the fastest. The Capitalone.com/activate website was user-friendly, and the entire process took less than 5 minutes. If you’re someone who prefers convenience, I recommend the mobile app, as it not only activates your card but also lets you track spending, set alerts, and pay bills on the go.
The phone method is just as reliable, especially if you don’t have internet access. Customer support was helpful when I tested this route.
