Maximize Benefits and Avoid Fees

There are several ways to maximize your benefits with this card, including:

• Annual fee refund: This card's ongoing value is that you can effectively skip the annual fee by spending enough money during the year.
• Pay the full balance each month: Although there’s no APR, you’ll be charged for any remaining balance if you don’t pay it off on time.
• Qualify for the welcome bonus: This credit card's one-time $1,200 welcome bonus is a first-year value. Spend enough money in the first three months to qualify.
• Use Capital One Travel: You can earn higher cash-back rewards if you make transactions through Capital One Travel.
• Use the card on everyday purchases: Another ongoing value with this card is the 2% unlimited cash back with regular purchases. These rewards can add up as long as you can pay off the balance in full each month. For example, if you spend $100,000 monthly on this card, your annual cash-back rewards total could be $24,000.
