[Targeted] Capital One Offering Referral Bonuses To Some Cardholders

Update 4/8/21: Referral bonuses on Capital One spark cards are available again. Person referring gets $200 and person being referred gets $500 after spending $4,500 within the first three months. Might make sense to wait for the $2,000/200,000 point bonus. Hat tip to DDG

[Update 7/10/19: Some people got an offer for $100 per referral on the Savor card today. The new member will get $300 bonus with annual fee waived, so if you’re in 2-player mode this could make sense. The regular offer is $400 with no fee waiver. Some people are also getting the $100 referral offer on the Venture card. Others are getting $150 offer on the QuickSilver.]

[Update 3/26/19: a new batch of people were targeted today on Quicksilver. Signup bonus for the new referred member is the standard $150/$500 offer. $150 is the standard offer, though we have seen $200 in the past.]

Capital One has sent out an e-mail to some cardholders offering them a bonus of $100 for referring friends to the Quicksilver card. You can receive $100 per friend that you refer that is approved, up to a maximum of $500. It’s not clear if this promotion is only going out on Quicksilver cards, or if it’s also available on other cards.

This isn’t the first time Capital One has tested a targeted referral program like this, they also did something similar back in 2017. It’s not clear if Capital One will send out a 1099-misc form like Chase, American Express & Discover did for referrals earned in 2018. Please do not share your referral links in the comments below. As the offers aren’t very attractive for new cardholders I don’t think there will be any real demand for these links.

Capital One also has a business referral bonus of up to $300.

From what I read you could only refer people who does not have any capital one card to get the $100 bonus. Is this true?

I just referred P2 for the Spark Cash. I got no bonus after 6 months. P2 already had an existing Capital One CC. Will call Customer Service but not hopeful.

Landing page to check if you can generate a Cap1 CC referral if you didn’t get an email. The cards included in the program are Quicksilver, Venture, VentureOne, Savor, SavorOne. Can only refer to what you have. Don’t know if it’s still targeted. Venture offer I’m pulling up equals current public offer.

I have a QuickSilver credit card of Capital One.

I got referral and signup with that. I got 150$ on spending 500$ in first three months.

Also they are giving 1.5% cashback on every purchase.

Below is referral link

On referral you can get 100$ on every referral.

It is a nice credit card offer for first time than any other.

I received $100 offer on Savor for referrer. “Earn a one-time $300 cash bonus once you spend $3,000 on purchases within 3 months from account opening” for the person I referred.
