This content was paid for by Capital One and created by Tasting Table.
When the holiday season rolls around, food is the unofficial star of the show. From baking cookies using your favorite family recipe to a sparkling New Year's Eve out on the town, we hope you've brought your appetite. But when it comes to celebrating and coordinating plans with friends and loved ones — and paying for the check at the end — we could all use a little help. Luckily, Capital One can support both during the holidays and beyond.
Whatever makes your holidays joyful and bright, Capital One has a suite of benefits available to cardholders that make going out and staying in more rewarding. Whether it's access to a coveted dinner reservation, Uber and Uber Eats perks through a complimentary Uber One membership, or cash back on dining and entertainment, Capital One cardholders can celebrate the way they like this holiday season assured they're getting the most out of their spending.
Get rewarded whether you go out or stay in
Can't choose between going out or staying in this holiday season? You don't have to with the Capital One SavorOne card, which rewards users for their dining and entertainment purchases. That means if you're bundling up and braving the cold for a night on the town, you'll get rewarded for the champagne in your flute and the steak on your plate. Or if you're grabbing a quilt, lighting a candle, and hunkering down for a festive movie marathon, you'll be rewarded for the takeout delivered to your front door. SavorOne cardholders get earnings on "the fun stuff" like — 3% cash back on dining, entertainment, and popular streaming purchases. The SavorOne card also offers 3% cash back on everything you buy at the grocery store* and 1% on all other purchases, so you can feel secure sending out your holiday party RSVPs with a plus one and welcoming last-minute guests into your home.
And even if you're celebrating with your family via video meeting from your dorm, you can still take advantage of the benefits offered by Capital One through the SavorOne Student card. SavorOne Student cardholders also earn 3% cash back on dining, entertainment, streaming, and at grocery stores (excludes superstores like Walmart® and Target®), plus 1% cash back on all other purchases. With the SavorOne and SavorOne Student cards, you don't have to pay an annual fee to unlock these benefits. Now, that's a win!
Have a helping hand with hosting
Having a houseful of loved ones during the holidays can be terrific fun, but it can also be terrifically stressful. What will your picky nephew eat? Where can you get a roast beef that'll impress grandma? And who was supposed to pick everyone up from the airport?
Luckily, Capital One's latest partnership offers rewards on Uber and Uber Eats purchases. Savor, SavorOne, SavorOne Student, and Quicksilver Student cardholders earn unlimited 10% cash back on purchases with Uber and Uber Eats. The cash back comes when you pay with a qualifying card in the Uber or Uber Eats app. Need to get six people from New York City to Greenwich, Connecticut by 6:00 for the family holiday party? No biggie; there's 10% cash back for that. The turkey is still raw and you incinerated the latkes? Order with confidence knowing you'll earn cash back on that massive Uber Eats order you placed.
As an added perk, Savor, SavorOne, SavorOne Student, and Quicksilver Student cardholders get a complimentary Uber One monthly membership (valued at $9.99/month) through November 14, 2024. (Quicksilver, Quicksilver One, and Quicksilver Secured cardholders can enjoy the Uber One service for up to six months, also through November 14.) In case you've never tried it out, an Uber One membership currently comes with up to 10% off eligible Uber Eats purchases and $0 delivery fees at participating restaurants, grocery stores, and on Uber Eats orders. You can also order with peace of mind — if the estimated latest arrival time is wrong, you'll get $5 Uber Cash to make up for it. That Uber One membership also currently comes with up to 5% off on eligible rides and other upgrades such as top-rated drivers on rides and premium support. So if you're looking for a ride from the airport or need a meal delivered stat for those hungry relatives, it's easy for cardholders to earn 10% cash back automatically on purchases with Uber and Uber Eats, topped with additional discounts and perks through the Uber One membership for an even sweeter deal.
