The Offer
Capital One Link | Vivid Seats Link
- Capital One partnered with Vivid Seats to offer 8% cash back on purchases made with the Savor card at Vivid.
I believe 8% is the total earned, meaning the regular 4% earn on entertainment with an additional 4% bonus specific for Vivid.
Our Verdict
Vivid Seats is a Stubhub alternative. Zach Honig at TPG did a nice comparison and found the prices to be nearly identical (slightly higher fees with Vivid). He also notes that by abandoning his cart, they sent him a 10% off coupon code.
It’s interesting to see Capital One continue to innovate with limited-time partnerships with other companies to increase value for their cardholders.
i will use this at the ragers at local underground clubs breaking the quarantine in my city smh
Who uses Vivid seats?
My Savor has seen little value other than the initial SUB and $1 small credit waiver.
I received a targeted offer in my email this morning regarding this. So it looks like it is going out to existing cardholders.
Disappointing. From the headline I thought this was the long-awaited pornography bonus category.
The trick is you need to stream your porn, then claim it as a streaming service.
