The romance of travel can die quickly when you see your credit card statement. Few of us enjoy being charged to use our own money and when it comes to foreign transaction fees, it’s no different.

What might feel like just a few extra dollars in fees can quickly add up to a hefty end sum. For example, if you charge $2,000 to a credit card with a foreign transaction fee of 3%, that’s an extra $60.

Capital One has made an effort to appeal to the younger generation with marketing efforts such as branded cafes where Capital One cardholders receive special discounts, as well as exclusive access to tickets to sporting events, concerts and other entertainment. Considering how focused they are on targeting young people, it comes as no surprise that they issue credit cards tailored specifically to students. 

Currently, Capital One offers two credit cards made specifically for students: the Capital One SavorOne Rewards for Students Credit Card and the Capital One Quicksilver Rewards for Students Credit Card.

The Capital One Quicksilver Cash Rewards Credit Card is a great option for those who want to earn a flat cash back rate on all of their purchases without having to worry about which bonus categories are going to earn them the most. This card offers 1.5% cash back on every purchase, every day. However, this card can be a bit harder to qualify for. 

You can get the same cash back rewards offered by the Quicksilver card by signing up for the Capital One® QuicksilverOne® Cash Rewards Credit Card.

There are many ways to earn travel miles and points, but none is as easy, quick, and cheap as opening up travel rewards cards. In particular, earning welcome bonuses on travel rewards cards is the number one way to rack up points and miles.

In this article, we’re covering the basics of travel rewards credit cards.

Most small business owners want to find a credit card that offers valuable perks to help their business and good spending bonuses. Some business owners may have already racked up a solid amount of credit card debt and need a card that will allow them to pay that debt off over time while avoiding interest. This kind of credit card is typically known as a balance transfer card, which is the category that the U.S. Bank Business Platinum Card falls under. 

This card offers no rewards or one-time offers.

Adding an authorized user to your credit card can be a win-win situation.

You’ll rack up points and earn welcome bonuses faster, while they’ll build their credit history, enjoy cardholder perks and pay a much-reduced annual fee (if any!).

Yet, just as choosing the right credit card for yourself can be challenging, so too can identifying the best card for you and an authorized user. Not every card offers the same benefits to the authorized user as it does the primary cardholder.

U.S. Bank credit cards are often overlooked in favor of cards from more well-know issuers like Chase or American Express. However, U.S. Bank has some noteworthy options that might be a great fit for your finances, depending on your spending patterns. If you tend to spend a lot of money at the gas pump and also like to travel, the U.S. Bank Altitude® Connect Visa Signature® Card could be a great card for you.
