Since Capital One bought Discover mainly for their processing service, I’m guessing they may look to gradually move their existing cards over to the Discover network.
For me, I might think about canceling my Savor card since one reason I got it was to have a no foreign transaction fee card while traveling abroad. Discover still has a long way to go to be a good option internationally.
I really doubt they’ll switch over until the Discover network is accepted worldwide. It doesn’t make sense for them to do that now if people can’t use them.

I see them waiting on dedicated travel cards, but for cards like Savor or Quicksilver that are not travel-focused, I think they might push that change sooner.
@DolphGabbana
Savor feels like a high-end card, so I doubt they’ll rush any changes there. Quicksilver could be a candidate but it would be strange if they made that change before working to improve international acceptance.

Costco’s same day delivery service needs a better website, but their service and prices are good. If you often leave with items you didn’t plan to buy, it pays for itself quickly, even considering convenience.
@Mars
Are you referring to same day delivery via Instacart? Their prices do seem to be marked up about 5%.
One reason I prefer Sam’s is the curbside pickup with no extra charge if you have their executive membership. They still offer early shopping hours for plus members and free delivery with a Plus membership. With the Plus membership, your cash back is available instantly instead of waiting yearly, and with a Sam’s card, you can get cash back monthly.
@faithmay
The tipping aspect of Sam’s delivery is a downside for me, especially since Costco items can be larger and heavier, making me feel like I need to tip better. I wish they offered an in-home delivery option like Walmart.
I’d probably use it as my backup since I can’t rely on it for international travel. If Capital One raised the rewards rate, I might consider putting some of my regular expenses on it like insurance.

My Quicksilver Visa upgraded to Venture X. It started out as a secured Platinum card.
One of my Quicksilvers began as a 5/3 Bank Gold Optimum Mastercard managed by HSBC. Then HSBC sold it to Capital One and my card became a Platinum. I later upgraded to Quicksilver.
