Capital One Quicksilver World Mastercard®Cash Back Calculator

Unlimited dollar-for-dollar match of all cash back earned in your first year*

Our Take

The Capital One Quicksilver World Mastercard® offers the same headline rewards as its World Elite sibling, with a lower income bar of $50,000 individual or $80,000 household. You get unlimited 3% cash back on eligible groceries, gas and EV charging, 1% on everything else, no annual fee and no foreign transaction fees. New cardholders also get a dollar-for-dollar match of all cash back earned in the first 365 days, which doubles the earn rates in year one. Essentially, it's a more accessible alternative.

*This offer is exclusively for new cardholders and must be presented to you at the time of your application. We’ll match the cash back you earn on your eligible credit card from the day your new account is approved through your first 365 days and add it to your Rewards Account within two billing periods after the end of your match period. Cash back is earned on net purchases (purchases minus any credits, refunds, or returns) when a transaction is posted to your account, which may be after the transaction date. Cash advances (including cash-like transactions), balance transfers, interest charges, fees, statement credits, cancelled or reversed redemptions, or any referral credits or rewards are not considered purchases and do not qualify for cash back. We will not match cash back that is posted after your match period ends. Your account must be open and in good standing to receive your cash back match. In good standing means your account is not past due, over the credit limit, fraudulent, restricted, part of a consumer credit counselling program or bankruptcy, and not in violation of your Cardholder Agreement. Rewards can only be redeemed as a statement credit, which do not count towards your monthly minimum payment. Offer is subject to change or cancellation at any time.

¹With your Quicksilver World Mastercard, you will earn unlimited:

3% cash back on purchases made at eligible grocery stores (excluding superstores like Walmart and Costco) with Merchant Category Codes (MCC) 5411, 5422, 5451, and 5499.
3% cash back on purchases made at eligible gas stations and EV charging stations with MCCs 5542, 5541, and 5552.
1% cash back on the amount of all other eligible purchases.

Some merchants may sell gas or groceries, or are separate merchants located on the premises of another merchant, but have a different MCC classification, in which case the higher earn rate does not apply. Cash back is applied to total net Purchases. That means any purchases minus any credits, refunds or returns. Cash advances (including cash-like transactions), balance transfers, interest charges, and fees are not considered purchases and will not earn rewards. Rewards can only be redeemed as a statement credit, which do not count towards your monthly minimum payment. See the full Rewards and Redemption terms and conditions for details.
