MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Capital
One launched the SavorOne Rewards for Students and Quicksilver
Rewards for Students credit cards, student versions of Capital
One's flagship credit cards designed to provide valuable rewards
and more choice for customers beginning their credit journey.
"Being new to credit and being able to enjoy rewards don't have
to be mutually exclusive," said Daniel
Mouadeb, Executive Vice President, Head of Mainstreet Card,
at Capital One. "By bringing more choices to our customers,
including access to credit and the benefit of rewards, we're paving
the way for a more inclusive and rewarding credit experience."
The SavorOne Student credit card enables cardholders to
automatically earn unlimited 3% cash back on dining, entertainment,
popular streaming services and at grocery stores, and 1% cash back
on all other purchases. Plus, cardholders can earn 8% cash back on
Vivid Seats through January 2023.
The Quicksilver Student credit card enables cardholders to earn
unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase, every day, just like
the flagship card. Both cards have no annual fees, no minimums for
cash back reward redemption, no rotating categories, and no
complicated sign-ups. Additionally, cash back won't expire for the
life of the account, and there's no limit to how much cardholders
can earn.
"When we asked students what they wanted in a credit card, they
overwhelmingly pointed to unlimited cash back on all purchases and
no annual fee," said Ralph Haro, Vice President, US Card, at
Capital One. "SavorOne Student and Quicksilver Student build on the
legacy of rewards offered with our flagship cards, and we are proud
to extend these best-in-class benefits to serve the financial needs
of students across the country."
With the addition of the two new student cards, students can now
choose from three Capital One student cards that offer cash back on
purchases and with no annual fee: SavorOne Student, Quicksilver
Student and Journey Student. Last year, Capital One added a
streaming benefit for new Journey student cardholders.
The Capital One Student Suite features include:
- With SavorOne Student, cardholders earn unlimited 3% cash back
on dining, entertainment, popular streaming services and at grocery
stores (excluding superstores like Walmart® and Target®), and 1%
cash back on all other purchases. Plus, cardholders can earn 8%
cash back on Vivid Seats through January
2023.
- With Quicksilver Student, cardholders earn unlimited 1.5% cash
back on all purchases, every day.
- New Journey cardholders can earn up to $60 in streaming service subscription credit
(conditions apply) in addition to the unlimited 1% cash back on
every purchase. Cardholders can boost the cash back to 1.25% when
paying on time.
- Cardholders can also get exclusive Capital One access to
curated experiences in sports, dining, and entertainment.
- No annual fees.
- Earn unlimited cash back that doesn't expire for the life of
the account.
- Redeem cash rewards by: getting account credit, using rewards
to pay via Paypal, shopping and paying for Amazon purchases,
spending rewards on gift cards, and getting reimbursed for your
purchases.
- No minimums for cash back reward redemption, no rotating
categories, and no complicated sign-ups.
- No foreign transaction fees, like all other Capital One
cards.
- Contactless technology, which allows cardholders to make
payments by "tapping" their cards in close proximity to
contactless-enabled credit card terminals.
Beyond the Credit Card
Millions of people have
started their credit and banking journey with Capital One, and we
work hard to help each one succeed. Capital One offers tools and
resources that can help students on the road to financial
independence including:
- CreditWise from Capital One, a free credit monitoring app where
users can understand and monitor their credit score.
- Learn & Grow Credit Building Content Hub, with helpful tips
and resources on how to build your credit.
- Digital features such as notifications when customers are
double-charged, flexible payment due dates, and instant card
locking—to better stay in control of your accounts anywhere,
anytime.
Capital One also has a legacy of supporting students' access to
education and opportunities for advancement. Most recently, Capital
One announced a partnership with Delaware
State University, the state's only HBCU, to expand its
recruiting partnership with the school to create more opportunities
for Delaware State students to pursue
careers at Capital One in fields including business analysis,
technology, and product development. Capital One is also supporting
the early talent pipeline by extending access to Capital One
programs for first and second year students, such as First- Gen
Focus for first-generation college students, and the HBCU Tech
Mini-Master, a two-week coding skills program to prepare students
for STEM-focused internships.
