As far as student credit cards go, the Capital One Quicksilver Student Cash Rewards Credit Card is an easy choice since no student card offers a flat cash back rate that is higher.
With 1.5% cash back on everything, you’re both building your credit (so you can step up to credit cards with richer rewards after you graduate, and earning a nice return on your credit card spend.
Plus, you’ll get a small cash bonus when you meet the terms of the Early Spend Bonus with your new Quicksilver Student card.
Importantly, there’s no annual fee and this is not a secured credit card.
And you do have the opportunity to earn 5% cash back on hotels and rental card booked via Capital One Travel.
All around, it’s a pretty solid student credit card!
