Anyone have and use one of these yet? Is rewards accrual and redemption pretty much as easy as the QS?
Kinda surprised they didn't brand this as a QS... like call it a QS dining rewards or QS 1-2-3 or something.
Thinking about maybe PCing my QS to this since I now have a Citi DC 2% for general purpose stuff.

Sorry Mr Disco, I have no data points for you, since I don't have this card. However, I found your point above of interest.
From a marketing perspective, i agree with you that cap 1 should have marketed this new card as a QS 1-2-3. This would bring there QS line into harmony.
I believe Chase has done this best with there Freedom and Freedom Unlimited. Customers are more apt to carry both to maximize rewards, in this case, Cash Back.
BTW, can't Cap 1 come up with a more physically attractive card than "iron bar Gray?" What gives? There cards are hideous! Although I do like the look of there Venture cards, the QS and the platinum cards leave a little something to desire.
I got it a few weeks ago. Its working just like the QS. Rewards posts the same. Used it at restaurants, Mikey D's, and the grocery store a few times. All is good. More than halfway to the $100 bonus. Got 7 bucks already in rewards.

I thought it was the color of Toxic Lead.
The card is ugly, yes. As FireMedic1 stated, yes, it works much like Quicksilver. Rewards posts as soon as the transactions post. The 3% on dining is useful because of no FTFs, and it's essentially 3% back on dining if you travel and dine for no annual fee, which is a nice added benefit. 2% on groceries work at Walmart Supercenters and Target for groceries where I live. The card looks like the Cap1 Platinum card - why couldn't they come up with a new design? The only difference is the Silver Mastercard logo and on the front it says "World Elite" in the same font as the DC. I went with the custom design, hopefully, it'll look better.
The bonus for me still hasn't posted yet. From what others have said, it should of posted days after I met the min, spending requirements - and it has not done so. We'll see when the next statement cuts if it adds to my reward dollars.

The Platinum does, but I've no idea on the dining rewards card.
With CO having QS and QS1 already, I wonder if QS 1-2-3 would lead to confusion with a lower end product. Maybe QS³ (cubed)?
