Back in July, Capital One closed applications for its popular Capital One Savor Cash Rewards Credit Card. The card was a favorite among cash-back enthusiasts thanks to its impressive bonus categories and a low annual fee of $95.
Capital One's credit card lineup can be confusing with its similarly named credit cards, and it's about to get a little more baffling. Starting Tuesday, the no-annual-fee Capital One SavorOne Cash Rewards Credit Card will be rebranded and called the Capital One Savor Cash Rewards Credit Card.
Slightly confusing, we know. Let's explore what's changing and what this means for existing and new cardholders.
New cardholders can receive a $250 bonus after spending $500 within the first three months from account opening. This offer falls between the now-canceled Savor credit card and the SavorOne credit card offers we've seen in the past.
In addition, the card is getting a refreshed design, which will help distinguish it from the previous Savor Cash Rewards credit card, which closed to new cardholders earlier this year.
Existing SavorOne Cash Rewards Credit Card holders will see the card's name change on their accounts when signed in on capitalone.com, in the mobile app and on their monthly statement after Tuesday.
If a SavorOne cardholder's card expires, is lost or is stolen, they will be issued a new card starting in November, reflecting the Savor name change and new card design.
Do not let the SavorOne Cash Rewards card name change trick you into believing new benefits or perks are headed your way. The card will still have no annual fee and continue offering unlimited 3% cash back at grocery stores and on dining, entertainment and popular streaming services; 8% cash back on Capital One Entertainment purchases; and 5% cash back on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel.

All other purchases made with the rebranded Savor Cash Rewards card will earn 1% cash back.
It's strange that Capital One would rebrand the SavorOne to a card it recently closed to new applicants, but what do you expect from an issuer that has nomenclature issues with its lineup offering various Venture, Quicksilver and Spark products?
Overall, this is a name change with no added benefit for existing or new cardholders. At most, you can rejoice that your "new" Savor card draws upon the legacy of the true Savor Rewards credit card that was applauded in cash-back-reward circles.

Before I joined TPG in early 2022, my knowledge of credit cards and the world of points and miles was limited, to say the least. Authorized users ... what are those? Free night awards? Don't know. Chase's 5/24 rule — never heard of it.
Over the last few years, the federal government has shown an increasing interest in credit cards and points and miles. Much of this originated with the proposed Credit Card Competition Act, but it has since expanded to major airlines and the loyalty programs they offer. Incidentally, the two original cosponsors of the CCCA were the first to call for an investigation into these frequent flyer programs — a call that ultimately led to the announcement of a formal probe by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
If you're familiar with TPG's valuations, you'll notice transferable rewards currencies such as American Express Membership Rewards points and Chase Ultimate Rewards points consistently rank as some of the most valuable rewards.
This week, Alaska Airlines announced sweeping changes to its Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan program. The overhaul will make it easier for customers to earn elite status and loyalty perks in 2025. Plus, the carrier revealed that customers should soon be able to book international itineraries aboard multiple Alaska partners through its website.
“As far back as I can remember, I knew I was different,” says Alexander Smalls. Growing up in a Gullah Geechee household in Spartanburg, North Carolina, the chef says he recognized the implication of those differences—in appearance, history, and cuisine. “I discovered early that my friends did not eat any of the foods that I ate. My foods were more akin to West Africa, you know, and very much pronounced in that way,” he says. It wan't until he moved to New York as an adult, that he assimilated the value of that diasporic connective tissue. “Food was a big part of cultural expression and identity of the African diaspora,” he says.
When we arrived in Bali, we had nine suitcases, one child getting over a cold, the other not sleeping through the night, and the hopes that a few months away might help us figure out our next steps. At least that was the plan.
“In Corpus Christi, it’s the beaches, then everything else,” my shuttle driver Angela shouted over the roar of the highway as we hurriedly made our way downtown. That might be the truest statement I’ve heard in some time. McGee, Whitecap, North Beach, Mustang Island State Park, Padre Island — Corpus Christi’s beache scene is iconic.
