Recommended Application Time
- We recommend you apply for this card after you have a credit history of at least two years and you are very comfortable with the credit card game.
- [1/6 rule] You can only apply for 1 Capital One credit card for every 6 months, including both personal and business credit cards. You will get automatic denial if you violate this rule, but there will be no hard pull.
Summary
The signup bonus is quite good. Apart from that, the major point of this card is 4% cashback on dining and entertainment. However, you can earn 4% cashback on dining with a no annual fee card Barclaycard Uber card. Therefore the annual fee on this card is not quite worth it. You can consider downgrade it to the SavorOne card after the first year.
