Overview

The no-fee Capital One Quicksilver card earns 1.5% cash back. While you can do better with no-fee 2% cash back cards such as Citi Double Cash, or the Fidelity Investment Rewards Visa, the Quicksilver card often offers excellent discounts with popular services such as Uber or Spotify.

Overall, this is a good choice for a welcome offer. Not a great choice to use for spend, but can be very good for specific discount offers.

Application Tips

Capital One Application Tips

6 month rule: Must wait 6 months after applying for a Capital One card before applying for another one.

2 card limit: Conventional wisdom and user experience has been that you can have at most 2 Capital One consumer cards, but according to application terms it may be possible to have up to 5. You may be limited to 2 of their rewards cards. Note that this limit does not apply to Capital One co-branded cards like the Kohl's charge card.

Get Same Card Again: There is no known rule against getting the same card and bonus again even if you still have the card open.

Hard inquiries usually get issued through all 3 credit bureaus
