When you freeze or lock your account, Capital One will decline new charges including, but not limited to: Purchases (including in-store, online, in-app and by phone) and cash advances. Any cards with the same number will also be locked. If you have authorized users, you need to lock their cards individually. Only the primary cardholder is able to unlock authorized users’ cards online. Some limitations may apply including but not limited to: (i) Service outages may occur and routine maintenance may result in downtime, during which the transactions might be approved; (ii) Some types of activity may continue, including but not limited to, returns, credits, dispute adjustments, payments, protection product fees, other account fees, interest, rewards redemptions and certain exempted transactions; (iii) If you have charges continuing from a previous card number that transferred to this card, those charges should continue since they’ve been authorized. You can remove merchants from your ‘Continued Charges’ list at any time; and (iv) Balance transfers may still be authorized. Capital One customers are responsible for regularly checking their account activity and making payments on locked cards.
