Capital One Savor dining rewards card?

Anonymous — Tue, 20 Feb 2018 01:41:41 GMT

I heard an ad on the radio for this card today and I'm surprised that was my first time hearing about it since I frequent this forum just about every day. Anyway, it's a 3% on dining, 2% on groceries and 1% on everything else card. Nothing fantastic here, but something new. Here's a link to it:

Anyway, does anyone know if it's possible to PC an existing CO product to the Savor? The reason I ask is because I have a QS in the SD, as it's 1.5% really does nothing for me. If I were able to PC it to the Savor, I could see marginal value in the 3% dining, as I currently just use a 2% card for that category. I would never apply for this card outright, but if a PC is possible it could be sightly useful. I'm not sure what the CO rules are for doing PCs, so hopefully someone can weigh in on that. Thanks!

I *think* I may have read something about not being able to PC because the card is so new. (It was released in Oct 2017, two weeks before the Barclays Uber) But never hurts to call and ask.

PC aren't possible many articles on here asking that exact same question. Maybe in the future, but who knows as they aren't allowed now. Someone tried a day or two back as of most recently.

Barclaycard Uber is 4% back. 3% on travel...

Looks like the QS will continue to reside in my SD then.

Haven't seen anyone able to PC to this card. It's also not really new per se; it was released IIRC over a year ago as "Premier Dining Rewards" or something like that, and later rebranded as Savor, but the rewards have been the same.

I think BBS is aware of the Uber Visa, he's just trying to make lemonade out of milk gone bad at this point.

But yes, Capone's Savor is pretty much a DoA product.

Yeah I guess not new then, but today was the first time I heard a radio commercial for it. I've also never seen a TV commercial for it, so while not "new" I'd say it's new that it's finally being advertised.

I actually saw a commercial on it today....first time ever.

Just search here for Savor and see all the threads you have somehow missed! It has been talked about a lot.

99% of that talk has been buried in related or unrelated threads, not in threads where the title would suggest so. A quick search for "Savor" shows me 2 threads with that word in the title, meaning that all of the other talk (that I've missed) has been in other threads not geared toward that specific product. That's fine and all, but unless I'm reading through every thread (which I'm not) I'm going to have missed the majority of that discussion.

The card got a lot more attention when it was released under its previous name.

Which makes more sense, as I at least recall reading the previous name a bunch of times on here, where "Savor" was foreign to me until just the other day.

I'm intrigued by the Savor but haven't bothered to do anything about it. We eat out frequently but there are only so many cards I want to lug around...went to a front pocket thin wallet to minimize back and hip pain from my old wallet riding in my right rear pocket.

On a side note, that might make an interesting question to pose...which pocket the wallet rides in.
