Your call
Before you apply for the Capital One Quicksilver Rewards for Students
- Treat an eligible welcome offer as first-year value only, separately from ongoing rewards. Review spend requirements and account eligibility.
- Student eligibility and income requirements depend on the issuer; approval is not guaranteed.
- Compare the current purchase APR and consider how reliably you can pay the statement balance in full. Interest can outweigh rewards.
