Capital One Savor
The Capital One Savor from Capital One has no annual fee. At $2,650 a month of typical household spending it pays about $569 a year after fees, $67 less than the Citi Double Cash, a flat 2% card.
Terms checked October 26, 2026. Net values use the spending mix of 1,229 U.S. households in the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Expenditure Interview Survey. This is an estimate, not financial advice.
What does the Capital One Savor earn?
Formerly SavorOne. 3% dining, groceries, streaming and entertainment (movie theaters, ticket sellers and promoters, amusement parks, attractions, zoos, aquariums, bowling; not golf or streaming). Superstores and wholesale clubs are excluded by the issuer.
How much would it pay you a year?
This is the card's rewards minus its annual fee, at three spending levels, with spending split the way the survey households split theirs. Statement credits and sign-up bonuses are left out.
| Spending a month | Capital One Savor | Citi Double Cash (2%) |
|---|---|---|
| $1,500 | $322 | $360 |
| $2,650 (the survey median) | $569 | $636 |
| $5,000 | $1,074 | $1,200 |
The mix is 30% everything else, 25% groceries, 16% phone and utilities, 13% dining, and smaller shares elsewhere. Your own split decides the real answer: add your statements to work it out on what you actually spent.
How did it do for real households?
We ran each of the 1,229 households in the 2024 survey through every card, on 12 straight months of their own spending. It would have been the best of 53 cards for under 1% of households, and paid more than the Citi Double Cash, a flat 2% card, for 27%. For the median household it paid $45 a year less than the flat 2% card.
The survey records spending categories but not merchants, so merchant bonuses and statement credits never count there, which favors flat cards. How we ran the household test.
