This week Capital One launched two new student credit cards designed to provide more choice for customers who want to start building their credit and not deny themselves rewards.
The two new credit cards are the Capital One Savor Student Cash Rewards Credit Card and Capital One Quicksilver Student Cash Rewards Credit Card. These cards are in fact student versions of Capital One's main credit cards, but with slight variations to cater to the needs of students. Whether you are at a 4-year university, community college or other higher education institution, this card might be an option for you.
Both new student credit cards are cash back credit cards. However, they do not have welcome bonus offers. Earned cash back can be redeemed as statement credits, for cash, to cover recent purchases, or for gift cards. Also, rewards can be used to pay via PayPal or for shopping and paying for Amazon purchases. The cash back rewards are unlimited and won't expire for the life of the account.
Here's a quick review of the new student credit cards from Capital One.
The Capital One Savor Student Cash Rewards Credit Card:
- Unlimited 3% cash back on dining, entertainment, popular streaming services and at grocery stores (excluding superstores like Walmart® and Target®)

The Capital One Quicksilver Student Cash Rewards Credit Card:
