Capital One cards can be on the Visa or Mastercard network. Both Visa and Mastercard are accepted pretty much everywhere worldwide and both card networks offer good benefits, so it doesn't really matter whether your Capital One credit card is a Visa or a Mastercard.

The best Capital One Mastercard is the Capital One Savor Cash Rewards Credit Card. This card offers a bonus of $300 for spending $3,000 in the first 3 months. Plus, the card gives 5% cash back on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel, 4% cash back on dining, entertainment and popular streaming services, 3% back at grocery stores and 1% back on all other purchases (except for 8% back on Capital One Entertainment purchases and 10% back on purchases made through Uber & Uber Eats). Capital One Savor has a $95 annual fee.

The best Capital One Visa is the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card. The card’s initial bonus is 75,000 miles for spending $4,000 in the first 3 months. This card also gives 5 miles per $1 spent on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel, and 2 miles per $1 on all other purchases. Capital One Venture annual fee is $39.
