• Purchase protection
• Rental car insurance

Capital One Savor is a Mastercard, not a Visa. Savor is a World Elite Mastercard, to be specific. That means it offers the Mastercard network’s highest level of benefits. Notable perks include up to $1 million in travel accident insurance and $1,500 per trip in trip cancellation insurance. The card’s extended warranty benefit also adds up to two extra years to an item’s original warranty and gives as much as $10,000 in coverage. Plus, there’s rental car insurance, roadside assistance, purchase protection and more.

Frequent travelers will enjoy the Capital One Savor Mastercard’s wide global acceptance. And there’s no foreign transaction fee. That means you’ll be able to use the Savor card abroad without having to pay a surcharge on everything you buy. Cards with foreign transaction fees typically charge an extra 1% to 3% on international purchases.

The Savor card provides plenty of its own rewards and perks to complement Mastercard’s array of benefits. For example, because it’s designed for people who like to go out on the town, Capital One Savor offers 4% cash back on dining and entertainment purchases. It also gives 2% cash back at grocery stores.

A Capital One Platinum balance transfer allows a cardholder to move high-interest debt from other credit accounts to the Platinum card. The Capital One Platinum card does not offer a low introductory interest rate for balance transfers, which means any savings will depend on whether the existing debt has an APR higher than the Platinum card’s regular rate. Capital One Platinum balance transfers accumulate interest daily at an APR of 26.99% (V). There is no Capital One Platinum balance transfer fee.

To request a Capital One Platinum balance transfer, call 1 (800) 227-4825 or go online and select the balance transfer option. Capital One Platinum (and all the other Capital One cards that permit balance transfers) will accept debt from credit cards, auto loans, personal loans, student loans, and more. But balance transfers from other Capital One accounts are not allowed.

The Capital One Mastercard annual fee is $0, in most cases.

Capital One has a few Mastercard credit cards offering $0 annual fee, like:

• Capital One Platinum Credit Card
• Capital One Secured Mastercard
• Capital One Quicksilver Cash Rewards Credit Card
• Cabela's Credit Card
• Union Plus Credit Card
• Saks Fifth Avenue Credit Card

There is one card, however, with a $39 annual fee, the Capital One QuicksilverOne Cash Rewards Credit Card. This one is only worth choosing if you plan on using your card regularly, otherwise I'd opt for one without an annual fee.

The credit limit for the Capital One Gold Mastercard will be determined by a few factors such as your credit score, income and overall creditworthiness.

Once your account is older than 3 months, you can request a credit limit increase online from your account or by calling 1-800-955-7070.

You have the best chances if you pay your bills in full and on time, and keep your credit utilization ratio low.

The best thing about Capital One and credit limit increases is that they will only result in a soft pull, thus won't affect your credit score.
