5 Reasons Why I got the Capital One Savor One in 2024

[@oaklandtoindy]

The Savor/Savor One has you covered for an entire night out. Dinner, Movie, Bowling, and even the Uber home. Whether its an adults only night or hanging with the kids.

[@LukesPointsandMiles]

That’s a great way to look at it!

[@TheTravelingHatter]

The Savor One card. Not just for breakfast! 😀

[@oscelotgreen]

Uncle Luke said, felons don't waste your money on annual fees for travel cards, switch to a cash back set up 😂😂

[@ChaseYokoyama]

Just picked up the Venture X 2 days ago and the Savor One is on my upcoming list. I'm looking forward to a no annual fee grocery/dining card for once. And yes that earning 3% on groceries while abroad is clutch

[@LukesPointsandMiles]

Nice work player!!

[@KeithW901]

I was able to “upgrade” my venture one to a savor one after I got my venture x. I recommend trying that if you have another c1 card. No intro bonuses but no credit hit and you keep your apr and credit limit

[@LukesPointsandMiles]

@@KeithW901 that sounds right. I upgraded a quicksilver to the VX.

[@KeithW901]

@@LukesPointsandMiles yeah I was surprised and delighted to see I was able to make the change. Now that we have the vx my wife’s venture card (she had before we got married) needs to be downgraded, still trying to decide. Wishing c1 had a good gas category card

[@LukesPointsandMiles]

@@KeithW901 sadly it is missing gas. Which is kind of weird.

[@gphysco]

Got approved for it few days ago, the student version but still will get the benefits and get 50 once I spend 100. Which now days won't be hard to obtain when food has raised. Also switched to banking with Cap1 and only thing I'm missing is a savings which I have with Amex already.

[@danielace4212]

Thanks for the video, Luke. My Chase Freedom Unl. does not get used overseas due to the transaction fee, which leaves me with my Sapphire for all purchases. This card is the catch-all card I need for overseas expenses. A Savor One/Sapphire combo will be interesting; let's see if i can make it work for my current lifestyle.

[@danielace4212]

Ah, I see that this card is only 1x for everything else and not 2x; got it mixed up. However, the 3x for groceries overseas is huge.

[@dariusjamal]

I'm with you, the Savor one is a great no annual fee card. While I do prioritize my gold for spending, this is a nice backup to have. The uber benefits work together with use of both my amex credits, and the 3% entertainment is nice as well since I don't have coverage there. I think the Cap1 Duo is simple/easy value and my VX is always on me. Enjoyed the vid! 👍

This is my favorite card. In nyc Uber eats is just as expensive as any normal pick up. I put as many things as possible through Uber eats even drug store purchases and also I take many Uber rides. For 10x points on all this is unheard of and my biggest earner combined with the vx.

[@LukesPointsandMiles]

10x earnings is massive!!

[@kaina732]

I am considering cancelling the AmEx Gold, but I don't care for the Capital One transfer partners. I prefer the Chase and AmEx transfer partners for my current usage. We buy groceries from Costco and Target more these days so I have to figure out what I will do.

[@LukesPointsandMiles]

I think the cap1 partners take a bit more knowledge to get good use out of but at the end of the day their list is inferior to Amex and chase.

[@DicksonMaimouth]

Capital One customer service is terrible ! It’s been a nightmare to get a recent trip insurance to reimburse. It would be great to get your take on Travel insurances ? Pay extra at the Airlines while booking , coverage provided by paying with top tier credit cards or buy general travel insurance?

[@LukesPointsandMiles]

I’m curious what you mean when you say capital one is terrible with trip insurance. Which card because at least with the VX the insurance is provided by visa infinite so it basically has nothing to do with capital one.

Good to know about the 3x grocery overseas. I got denied for this card in Jan but I'm going to apply soon... just groceries on this card would get me about 46k points a year... and I agree I won't be using this card for dining as I do need to accumulate chase points other than ink card SUBs. 😂😂😂

[@LukesPointsandMiles]

Same!!

[@MattWelterOfficial]

Haha I definitely spend way too much $ on sporting events as well every year 😂Typically that spend ends up going on the card for whichever welcome bonus we are going after, but having my wife's Savor One is a good backup option to that! Great video Luke!

[@omarkassem2391]

Uncle Luke, after watching your last video, I just picked up the venture x early this month, and I just got a pre approved email for the 90k Amex gold offer. I was thinking to get the gold and in a year cancel and pick up the savor one after, you think that’s a good idea. Trying to do a trip next year and I already have the everyday card to hold Amex points if they are any left over. I also may get the aspire or platinum later in the year

[@LukesPointsandMiles]

Yeah I think that’s fine. 90k is a huge offer

[@Thecreditcardconnection]

Tio Luke! Thank you for the info! I would like to get this card and the Venture X, but they only offer the Savor card for “Good” credit with an 838 Fico score 🤣. I really would like to get these eventually to use for travel as you have stated. Thanks again for a great video!
