Your call

Before you apply for the Capital One Quicksilver Rewards for Students

  1. Treat an eligible welcome offer as first-year value only, separately from ongoing rewards. Review spend requirements and account eligibility.
  2. Student eligibility and income requirements depend on the issuer; approval is not guaranteed.
  3. Compare the current purchase APR and consider how reliably you can pay the statement balance in full. Interest can outweigh rewards.
