Capital One is offering consumers an outstanding rewards package through its new Cashback with World™ MasterCard® credit card. This makes Capital One the first UK issuer to offer the new World MasterCard, which includes a range of exciting travel benefits.
 

The Capital One Cashback with World MasterCard credit card offers consumers 4% cashback on all purchases for the first three months and 1% cashback on all purchases thereafter. The card has a competitive 15.9% APR typical variable.
 

In addition to the excellent cashback rate offered by Capital One, cardholders can take advantage of a range of World MasterCard travel benefits including free travel insurance and travel assistance, which provides customers with advice to help to resolve travel, legal or medical emergencies while they are abroad. If a customer loses their travel documents while on holiday the travel assistance service will help source replacement documents. It will also provide an advancement of funds should a customer lose their card abroad to ensure they can still afford the essentials. Cardholders can also use the travel assistance service for pre-trip advice on inoculations, visas and exchange rates.
