The smaller Walmart Neighborhood stores count as grocery stores. The large Big Box stores do not.
www.doctorofcredit.com has all the faqs:

1. Cap1 allows only 2 personal cards & 2 business cards (but a few have extra grandfathered in) & co-branded cards do not count

2. Cap1 pulls from ALL 3 bureaus at each time for each application (3 pulls per application & averages them out!)

3. need at least 720-740+ mininum FICO according to data points from last several years (but other factors such as too high balances or too many inquiries in past year can cause rejection).. do not know of this year's mininum
so if you are APPROVED; please list your FICO score that got approved
&
how many new cards you got in the past 2 years because there is rumor that Savor cards have a 5/24 rule similar to Chase (ie; must be under 5 new credit card accounts in past 24 months)
Signed up previously with the $250 offer and was instantly approved. After receiving the card and using it for a week, they restricted my card because they had to verify my income. I had to e-sign an IRS form 4506-T for them to check my 2019 tax Return. After that, it took two weeks for them to verify and remove the restriction. They seem so strict compared to other credit card companies @.@

You can't call Cap1 and ask to convert it to a no-fee card? It costs every bank to acquire a new customer, so I can't imagine they would say no.

Quote from KMan View quoted comment :
Will it hurt my credit to close my older Cap1 Platinum account with the $0 balance and $5/mo fee, if I just applied and was approved for the Savor card, with a credit limit several thousand higher than the one on my older card? I'd like to save the $60 a year for a card I no longer need or intend to use.

I did precisely that earlier today, and they said no. But, I just got approved for the Savor card, with a higher credit limit and 15 months of 0% APR, so I can always cancel the first card, which I wasn't going to use anyway as there are no benefits. I'm just wondering what the implications are for my credit rating if I do that. As for the Savor, I'll use it for 15 months, hopefully get the $200 if they don't try to pull something on me, then stop using it, since the APR goes up to 25% according to the original terms. It's a gimmick card for people who want easy money and aren't that great with credit (thus the many rejections for people who have good credit). They want to suck them in with early incentives and hope they amass so much credit that they don't pay off in time that it'll eventually dwarf what they lost on them initially.

And that's the thing. I just spoke to a CS rep who checked and said that I qualify for this offer, but she didn't sound very knowledgeable and was just reading the above off her screen, and didn't mention the last sentence about existing or previous account holders.

I worry that after spending $500, I won't get the $200, and if I call CS to inquire, they'll mention this caveat, and if I complain, they'll say the obligatory we're so sorry for this confusion but it's clearly there in the terms. Of course the key words are "may not be", not "are not", with no indication of how this is determined.

I smell a potential semi-scam, precisely because of this weasel word wording.

So, to existing or previous Cap1 account holders who applied for and were approved for this card with this offer, then spent $500 or more within 3 months, did you get the $200?
I am an existing capital one card holder (many, many years) that applied for this card and was approved for $10k limit. I spent the minimum $500 within the first week and was given the $250 (the previous bonus amount) within a few days.
I also applied for and received the $400 bonus for the capital one checking account.

Edit: Just checked my account and I received the bonus the same day I hit $500+ in transactions

Thanks. Reassuring. I need to spend $500 on various things within the next few months anyway. Hopefully I'll get the $200 too.

My credit is pretty good minus the score part, it is 670. I got approved for $5k in seconds. The comments here about them
Being super selective delayed me in applying sooner, I guess it's on a case to case basis, but it's worth a shot

15 months of zero interest on purchases is pretty standard for most new cards. You still must make the minimum payments or they will jack up the interest to 20% or more. They don't lose money on the deal because they charge the merchant at least 2 or 3 % on each transaction.

Capital One must have some algorithm to predict which applicants just collect the $200 bonus and not use it after that . Guilty as charged.

....
As far as credit impacts for closing the Platinum card, the effect of closing a single account will probably have little impact on your overall credit score. Provided the account was in good standing, it will remain on your credit history for 10 years ... by which time your other accounts will have matured by a decade. (Note: Closing the account would have a significant impact if you constantly churn your other credit cards AND this is one of the few that you would have ordinarily kept permanently.)

I don't know about the "stop using it" part of your post. The Savor returns 3% on dining and entertainment, which is pretty competitive with most cards. The only card that I've found better on dining is the U.S. Bank Altitude Go card that gives back 4X points on purchases.

I always close them when they they start to hit me with an annual fee (unless I calculated that benefits out-weigh the fee). It doesn't seem to hurt my credit.
For the Savor, I'd suggest spending the $500 and collecting the $200 and after that either stop using it or pay off the balance each month. Then the APR won't matter.

This used to be a $500 bonus on a $3k spend.

Well I also have Chase Unlimited & Flex cards and I believe at least one of them offers 3% CB on dining too, so I have options. I'll probably keep the SavorOne, especially if I close the Platinum, and just won't carry a balance. But then that's my goal across all my cards.

And, I don't really "churn", if you mean constantly applying for new cards to get a bonus and/or 0% financing, then either closing them or not using them and doing it all over again, repeatedly. I realize that some people do this but it's not my thing. But, once every 4-5 years seems ok.

Exactly, and what I intend to do with ALL my cards from now on.

Exactly! Who cares about the high APR when we smart SDers will not carry a balance from purchases? FICO is not a SAT score. It is not necessary to keep it high all the time. Many including myself manage it to capitalize and turn it to free money by signing up new card every 24 months. I have 26 credit cards with $270K total credit and my FICO is still 820+. Yes, it would have a temporary drop on the credit score, but it would recover after several months. It is unwise to pay $60 annual fee for a card that is hardly used just to maintain the credit score. When someone has already established his credit history for more than 20 years, closing a single credit card will not make a big deal if he uses his credit responsibly.

You hit the nail right on the head. There are many similar bonus offers.

If you can't take advantage of the 3% cash back on dining and entertainment or if you don't have any need to postpone payments (interest free) for 15 months, then there's really no reason for you to sign up for this offer.

Minor update. I got my physical card today and when I went into the app to activate it (turns out it had already been activated when I used it to buy something online, which Cap1 allows you to do before you get the actual card), there was this feature that showed me how close I was to reaching $500 in purchases towards the $200 bonus, so even though I was an existing customer and they have this caveat about how existing members "may" not get the $200, looks like I will, assuming I buy $500 or more in the next 3 months. Shouldn't have a problem there as I actually do need to buy some things for my car that I've put off for a few weeks in anticipation of this.
