Is this card right for you?

✓ Best for

someone rebuilding credit who wants a card that reports to all three bureaus.

⚠ Think twice if

you would rather chase elevated bonus categories than earn one flat rate.

Earning rates

No rewards, but no annual fee either

Best ways to earn & redeem

Use it as a flat-rate everyday card, since it earns the same on every purchase, and pair it with bonus-category cards for groceries, dining, and travel.

When you cash in, take the rewards as cash back or a statement credit, worth a flat 1 cent each. We value every point at a flat 1 cent, so treat any transfer upside as a bonus rather than the baseline — see what your points are really worth.

Features & benefits

Open a $200 credit line with a refundable deposit of as little as $49
Capital One reviews your account for an upgrade to unsecured (deposit refunded), typically in 6 to 12 months
Reports to all three credit bureaus
No foreign transaction fee
