Capital One
Quicksilver
What it is
The Quicksilver is a Capital One card earning cash back. For most, its value is mostly up front in the welcome bonus rather than ongoing perks. Capital One's flat 1.5% cash-back card — bare-bones but no annual fee. The welcome bonus clears on tiny spend; a clean quick pickup with essentially no ongoing perks.
Offer history
Value is the welcome bonus at your valuations. The Year 1 total also counts recurring benefits and subtracts the annual fee. Spend / mo (the dashed line, right axis) is the monthly pace to clear the minimum spend in time — shown on every view so the spend stays in context.
