Capital One Cashback Card

Capital One's new Platinum Cashback card focuses on one feature and one feature only: cashback!

You won't find any impressively long balance transfer deals or free purchase periods, and the standard rate of the card is a fair but not outstanding 15.9% typical APR.

What you DO get is a pretty impressive cashback rate of 4% - although this lasts for just 3 months, before reverting to a less impressive but still attractive rate of 1%. Capital One say there's no catches - unlike certain other competing cards there are no exclusions on what you get cashback for, it applies to all purchases.

There's really not a lot more to say about this card. If you have a good credit rating and spend a lot on your current card, without needing additonal features, then the cashback you could earn with this card could make it well worth switching.
