Cap1 QuickSilver Cashback

[Anonymous]

Do you think Capital One will ever increase the cash back on the QS to compete with the likes of Citi DC, Paypal 2% MC, BBVA, etc.?

Only if it makes business sense to them. With the CCCs making profit hand over fist, I have a hard time imagining that they wouldn't. But who knows, Cap1 is an odd duck.

Unlikely, IMO, unless everyone else does (Amex Cash Magnet, Chase Freedom Unlimited, Wells Fargo Cash Wise, HSBC Cash Rewards, US Bank Cash 365, etc.). I would say that Capital One might, but their decision on the Savor/SavorOne does not make sense to me when the Uber Visa card exists. Although, who knows?

Upping QS to 2% will render their flagship Venture (2% with AF) useless, as well as cutting into Savor (AF)/Savor One's 2% category, reasons why I doubt it will happen without revamping their entire lineup.

I think Cap One may do 2% with QS.

Perhaps 2% with QS and 1.5% with QS1.

They need to do 3% with Venture.

Perhaps 2% with VentureOne.

see the pattern?

Yes, we see the pattern, but of course it is entirely made up!

As others have said, there needs to be a business driver to do so, and we have no idea if QS is experiencing any drop in profits due to competitor cards.   My guess is that in the general population, people stay loyal to their cards (unless something bad happens), so if I have a QS, I don't shop around for better deals, just use what works.  And with new cards being launched offering 1.5%, it's not as if the QS looks so out of date.

And even here, people make what seems to me to be "strange" decisions: e.g. going for the Cash Magnet and keeping Venture with an AF after the first year.

I think its more that people dont know any better. Before I came on here, I had no idea about penfed, bbva, and dcu. People know the quicksilver from all the commercials they're bombarded with.

I also agree about the cash magnet. People here lose their minds if someone gets a 1.5% instead of 2% card, but go gaga for the magnet. Once the sub is done, then what? You still have a 1.5% card.
