Capital One Savor Rewards for Good Credit is a no-annual-fee cash back card from Capital One. Its best everyday rates are 3% on dining, 3% on entertainment, and 3% on grocery stores; everything else earns 1%. The 8% rate applies only to entertainment booked through Capital One, so treat it as a bonus rather than the reason to apply.
On our reference budget of $24,600 a year it returns about $642, an effective 2.6% back.
Put the bonus categories on it and everything else on a flat 2% card. On its own the base rate drags the average down.
