Capital One Savor Cash Rewards

A no-fee cash back card for people who spend on food and fun: 3% on dining, entertainment, streaming and grocery.

Para quem é

This card fits you if your spending leans toward restaurants, groceries, concerts, movies and streaming. You earn 3% cash back on dining, entertainment, popular streaming services and grocery stores, 5% on hotels, vacation rentals and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel, and 1% on everything else. There's no annual fee, and you get 0% intro APR for 12 months on purchases and balance transfers.

Quem deve evitar

Skip it if your spending is spread out in categories it doesn't cover, where a flat 2% card earns more. And if you won't pay off purchases within the intro period, keep in mind the regular APR applies after that. Capital One generally looks for strong credit for this version of the card; if yours is still building, look at the student or good-credit versions in the catalog.

Como aproveitar ao máximo

Put dining, groceries, streaming and entertainment on this card. Use a flat-rate card for the rest. It has no foreign transaction fees, so it works well on trips. Pay the full statement every month and set up autopay. If you use the intro APR, divide the balance by 12 and pay at least that monthly.
