I use this card for my "everyday" purchases. Meaning, purchases that I don't have any other card for a higher cashback. This typical is internet purchases like at Macy's. I usually get 500-600 a year back through quicksilver.. I get 1500-2000 back on Capital One's Savor FYI.
Bought a new phone with it since they show the CC number in the app and instantly got the $200 signup bonus so I was able to apply that to my statement before my first bill has even come in yet.
I noticed the one I got has Price Protection (120 days, I think, to match a lower price up to $200) which is maybe one of the few cards left with that benefit. I'll probably use this card for purchases I know have regular price drops just in case I ever see lower prices and stick with my Citi Double Cash for everything else to get the extra .5% cash back.
I'm no longer going to use my CO card in the future. I've watched all of the other companies improve their services over the years and CO has remained barebones with terrible customer service.
Need advice with "other companies". Thought the quicksilver was not bad but seems like there are better things

Maybe as someone suggested, they disapprove applications with lots of cc already?
then I got a measly $100 credit increase on the 1k card I had for 3 yrs w/no lates! Very stingy indeed!
Has anyone ever transferred a Cap One cc into one of their others? I hate that platinum card with high interest but doesn't do a score any favors by closing a cc account.
I have only had one Capital One card, the Sony card, and they were wonderful. I'm really sad that Comenity handles the Sony card now. They suck.

Then you get into the category that AMEX is not a credit card but a charge card. Former AMEX customers who treated their card like carte blanche, where money is no object. They fall into the category of AMEX card holders who are in default. Which leads to having to sign monthly promissory notes. I promise to pay off my AMEX bill. Around 20 years ago AMEX got in trouble for offering a payment plan for AMEX card holders. The regulatory commission told them that they are a charge card brand and not a credit card company.
This led to the creation of the AMEX credit cards. Many former AMEX card customers debt was transferred to the American Express credit card that went by many different names. I think now it's just AMEX blue with other branded AMEX branded credit cards.
Having an AMEX charge card does nothing for your credit score. If someone has or has had an AMEX charge card for many years. It does make it easier to get approved for credit cards.
Yes I have two capital one cards
They have it available with visa and Mastercard. I have this card and a regular CO that they offered a free I upgrade to make it rewards capable and now i have 2 quicksilver cards. One Visa, one Mastercard
I've had 15+ credit cards, never once have I carried a balance. Paid off in full every month. Credit cards have netted me probably $10,000+ in rewards and cashback over the years.
When credit was easy in the 80's and 90's, there were guys who racked that much up in a month. Not consistently every month, but when it was time to do a cycle of credit card churning they could manufacture a ridiculous amount of rewards.

Btw, if I do get the new card, would closing the old card adversely affect my credit? As I wrote it has a zero balance now. What about closing it without getting the new card, would that be bad for my credit? Either way I want to avoid paying the $5 monthly fee.

- Ten years ago, with a library of credit cards with relative young histories, I felt it was worth the $60 to keep the Chase card.
- Now, with a more moderately aged credit card history (I've rotated cards in an out, but at least some of the older cards have aged), the equation has changed. Moreover, I don't travel nearly as much as I used to, making the United points less useful to me. Lastly, even after retiring the Chase credit card, it will remain in my credit history 10 years. So, by the time it is actually dropped from my history, my other credit cards would be 10 years older.
- At this point, it's probably something like a 50-50 proposition for me.
For you trying to decide whether to keep your old card, I'd suggest considering the impact 10 years from now (when the credit card drops off your credit history).EDIT: I just submitted a request to terminate my Chase United Mileage Plus VISA card. The point that tipped the equation in favor of closure was Chase's attitude toward fixing their online accounting practices. See attached letter. Chase still has not fixed this problem, nor acknowledged that the problem exists.
The problem is this: After Chase's system processes the items on their Pending list, it removes such records from the Pending list, adds the charges to the account total, BUT POSTS THE ACTIVITIES AT SOME LATER TIME. Sometimes, they don't update the account activities until hours later. That means the online bank sheets don't balance during the interim. To me, it is insane that they have been able to get away with this for years.
