The Savor Rewards from Capital One<\/strong> was launched in 2017 as a $95 annual fee card with great rewards for categories cardmembers spend money on, including 3% back on dining and groceries. The bank enhanced the Capital One Savor card's benefits<\/a> in 2021, adding bonus categories for streaming and entertainment and increasing the rewards for dining and groceries to an industry-leading 4%.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Capital One has now closed the card to new applications, leaving a gap for potential cardholders who were looking for a simplistic card that rewards on food and entertainment categories. Let's dig into what options are still available from Capital One and the competition.<\/p>\n

What Happens To Current Capital One Savor Cardholders?<\/span><\/h2>\n

While Capital One has closed the card to new applicants, current cardholders of the Capital One Savor can continue to hold the product for the foreseeable future. The future may see a forced product change for those cardholders — similar to what happened to me when my Wells Fargo Propel American Express\u00ae<\/sup> card (closed to new applicants) was switched to the Wells Fargo Active Cash\u00ae<\/sup> Card<\/a> (Rates & Fees<\/a>) last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the meantime, Capital One Savor cardholders will continue to earn rewards as they have been: 4% cash back on dining, entertainment, and popular streaming services; 3% at grocery stores; and 1% on all other purchases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best Capital One Savor Card Alternatives<\/span><\/h2>\n

While no cards quite match the Capital One Savor‘s balance of earning rates and reasonable annual fee (perhaps the reason the card was pulled), customers have solid alternatives that mirror Capital One Savor‘s cashback categories for a low fee.<\/p>\n

Entertainment<\/span><\/h3>\n

For those looking to maximize rewards on entertainment, the Capital One Savor Card's sibling Capital One Savor Cash Rewards Credit Card<\/a> offers 3% cash back on all entertainment. Even better, you'll earn 8% cash back on purchases made via the Capital One Entertainment ticketing platform. Best of all, this card charges $0 annual fee, meaning you can rack up cash back without a fee eating into your earnings.<\/span><\/p>\n
