Our Verdict
Standard bonus is $100, it’s frequently increased to $150 or occasionally $200; I don’t think we’ve ever seen $250. Some people also like having a Quicksilver card as they offer various promotions such as: Uber, Spotify & hotels.com deal.
Bear in mind that Capital One pulls all three credit bureaus. At $250 on an easy $500 spend it might be something to consider, though you might be better off getting the Venture card with 60,000 points and then product changing it to this card instead. Check out these things to know about Capital One credit cards before applying.
Hat tip to r/creditcards
Received an offer for $300 in my mailbox. Seems to be targeted as the public offer shows $200. SUB and APR offer the same as before.
It’s back, at $200 cash bonus for $500 spend. https://applynow.capitalone.com/?productId=16030
I checked if I am preapproved and clicked apply from there, so there is no promotion. I got approved. Is there a way to add this promotion?
Is capital one kind enough for adding promotion to already approved application?
This credit card is very hard to get approved for.
Just got a snail mail for $300 bonus on $500 spend, expires 2/18/22.
Interesting. I received a snail mail offer for $250 bonus on same $500 spend and they said “..this is our Best Offer” Those liars lol. Maybe I’ll call them to see if they will give me the real best offer. I still might bite since this is still pretty easy $$.
LOL. My spouse got the same $250 offer the day before mine. The only difference between our two relationships at CapOne is that I have about 10K more money in my savings.
I wasn’t intending on ever getting this card but it seems too good to pass up for only $500 spend. I can’t get any more Chase cards for over 36 months so I can play around this year 🙂
I need some general feedback / advice on strategies with credit cards. I have a credit score of 800+. I have several cards that I have collected over the last 13 years or so.
It has been several years since I tried to apply for more than one card within a short period of time. So I just want some feedback on this. I just applied and was approved for a Cap One Quicksilver. I also wanted to apply for a Chase Freedom Flex and a Chase CSP (for 100k in branch).
I was thinking apply for the Chase Freedom Flex online. I already have two vanilla Freedom cards (several years old). Is it pretty easy to get the Freedom Flex considering I was just approved for a Cap One Quicksilver?
If I apply for the Flex now.. would it hurt my chances of applying for a CSP in branch about a month from now? I had a CSR two years ago (so it’s been over 48 months).. and I have never had a CSP before. My CSR was downgraded to a Freedom after I met all the requirements. That’s why I have two Vanilla Freedoms.
Basically, I’m just wondering about applying for Cap One Quicksilver, Chase Freedom Flex, and CSP within a short period of time? My number of inquiries is pretty low.. on credit reports it only lists 1 inquiry (the Cap One Quicksilver from a few days ago).
Let me know if this makes sense or any better offers right now. I kind of just like easy bonus and low spend.. but the CSP is handy too I think for travel.. and also because I have a lot of UR points just sitting there for a long time.
It’s back for $200.
