No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
so I was updating my accounts and when I checked Capital one it said Credit card accounts would not be available until 6/10 due to updates... then I noticed my Cap 1 quicksilver was now called World Elite Mastercard... the quicksilver is my oldest card but with only 1.5% cash back is now only a sock drawer card that I haven't used in a few months... I haven't been able to find much online about Capital One World elite Mastercard... I don't see anything on Cap 1 website... anyone have any info about rewards and benefits? thanks, AKJ

Are all these benefits really available on the Capital One WEMC? I know that for Visa Signature and Visa Infinity, the banks negotiate with Visa to determine which elite benefits to apply to that bank's elite cards.
Here's where you can get benefits info specific to Capital One: https://www.capitalone.com/credit-cards/benefits-guide/
Edited to add: You have to drill-down in the respective documents a bit, but there are differences. For example, for my Venture One Platinum MC price protection is good for 60 days from the date of purchase, while for my Quicksilver WEMC it's good for 120 days from the date of purchase.
My GM BuyPower card "by" Capitol One is an MCWE and with the exception of having $1200 "banked" toward my next new car purchase, I've never used a single "elite" benefit/feature, but I will say the shiny silver logo is kind of neat
My QS got "automatically upgraded" to World Elite but never found one good use of the new features...
The card is shiny though
Appears that they are just after the higher swipe fees accosiated with WE cards, compared to what the QS was.

You are correct. I just posted the link for in general. Visa has a page like this, as well as a downloadable pdf for theirs. Every credit card will have variations, but for the most part, it's intact across brands.

Congrats on the upgrade!
Where did you see on the website that your card was upgraded? For DP, what is you CL and how long have you had the card for?
