Benefits of Capital One Quicksilver Card
Pay for as much as you can with your card if you want to maximise your Capital One Quicksilver rewards, especially for transactions that don’t normally qualify for higher category bonus rates. To get extra rewards for your purchases, it would also be ideal to combine this flat-rate cash back card with a rotating bonus category card.
Additionally, as mentioned above, Capital One provides Quicksilver Rewards cardholders with important advantages like travel, purchasing, and identity theft protections. Keep in mind that the advantages you receive depend on whether your Capital One Quicksilver is a Visa or Mastercard and what tier it is. It’s possible that some of the aforementioned benefits aren’t covered or have different conditions.
