Issuer Rules

Rules: For 2026, the Capital One Quicksilver card typically offers a cash bonus (e.g., $200) after spending a specified amount (e.g., $500) within the first 3 months of account opening. Eligibility generally requires good to excellent credit. Applicants are typically restricted to one Capital One credit card approval every six months. Furthermore, applicants are generally not eligible for the bonus if they currently have or have had the Capital One Quicksilver card within the past 48 months. While the 'once per lifetime' bonus restriction is known for premium cards like Venture X, it does not directly apply to the Quicksilver's standard welcome bonus, though re-earning the bonus on the same product is restricted.

Maximum Cards Per Issuer: 5

Minimum Spend Interval: 3 months

Shutdown Risk Triggers: Manufactured spending, high cumulative credit limit across all Capital One products, rapid application for multiple credit cards (especially within Capital One), unusual spending patterns inconsistent with income or credit history, frequent late payments, or excessive credit limit increase requests.
