After all, isn’t it better to earn rewards with EVERY purchase? Who needs the hassle of trying to remember what qualifies and what doesn’t! The Capital One Quicksilver credit card has a few great perks that I have to tell you about. You can earn an unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase, every day!! There’s no rotating categories and no sign ups needed to earn cash rewards. The holiday season is so hectic – it’s nice to know it’s all standard and straight forward. If you apply for the card now, there’s even a one-time $100 cash rewards bonus when you spend $500 on purchases within the first 3 months. So sit back and watch your rewards rack up, then redeem post-holiday for any amount, anytime, for your own present – say a Swedish massage – in January.
For existing Capital One cardholders, you can get 10%-20% off select gift cards (depending on the merchant) by using your rewards points until 12/2.
