Deal Details
Capital One is launching its first-ever premium travel credit card, Venture X

Here are the initial card details of the Venture X card:

Welcome bonus: The Venture X will launch with an offer of 100,000 bonus miles after spending $10,000 on purchases in the first six months, and for a limited time, cardholders can also get up to $200 in statement credits for vacation rental purchases like Airbnb and Vrbo charged to their account within the first year.

Earning: The Venture X will earn 10 miles per dollar on hotels and car rentals booked via Capital One Travel, 5 miles per dollar on flights booked via Capital One Travel and an unlimited 2 miles per dollar on everything else.

Statement credit: Up to $300 back in statement credit annually for bookings made through Capital One Travel.

Anniversary bonus: 10,000 bonus miles every account anniversary, starting on your first anniversary (worth $100 toward travel).

Lounge access: Complimentary access for cardholders, authorized users and up to two guests per visit to Capital One Lounges and to more than 1,300 Priority Pass lounges worldwide.

Authorized users: Up to four authorized users can be added at no charge, and AUs get Capital One Lounge access with up to two guests.

Global Entry or TSA PreCheck: Up to $100 in statement credits for either TSA PreCheck or Global Entry.


Annual fee:
$395.

Application link: https://www.capitalone.com/credit...venture-x/

This looks like a great card for travel compared to Chase Sapphire Reserve and Amex Platinum. Especially I like the lower annual fee part and the sign up bonus also looks generous.

Interesting - that has changed in the past month. I have the venture and was looking to cash out and just about everything but wyndham and BA was 800miles:1000 points. AirFrance/KLM is currently 1200mile:1000points (ends 12/1/21) . The change may be for the VentureX launch; I would not trust C1 to keep these redemptions. If you are planning to transfer, I would MS to the 10k as fast as possible and roll the points if that's where you think you'll use them. FWIW, my Venture bonus wasn't awarded until after my billing cycle ended, even though it was paid off early...so don't count on getting the points before the 31 days.

It's also worth noting that there are no direct US carriers in the transfer portal.

Note: I like Capital One for the single-use credit card number and the ability to have those numbers auto-expire on a date I set. I just don't think their bonus programs are all that if you're sole redemption isn't through bill credits for travel.
You are right. I didn't notice the lack of US airlines for direct transfers. Although sometimes the best redemptions are actually through these foreign airline partners, it does make for a more cumbersome redemption experience. I guess I can lean on the other CC providers for those (Amex, Chase).

T I have the regular Venture with the $95 fee and I plan to product change without the sub.

I presume you mean without the bonus. If they offer you something for the trade up, please post back - I've actually got some int'l travel brewing and I'm on the fence about the upgrade being worth it.

That's not true on transfer ratios. Most airlines are 1:1 except one airline (EVA).

Sadly Eva is the only airline on the list that I would use...

To me Citi credit cards work a lot better as TYP can be transferred 1:1 to Eva.

This is not entirely accurate. The miles earned can be used for almost any travel expense and this includes the bonus miles. The $300 annual travel credit is the only reward that has to redeemed through Cap One Travel. For anyone that travels at least once per year this card is a no-brainer. The bonuses easily cover the card fee and one will get at least 2% back on all purchases. I have the regular Venture with the $95 fee and I plan to product change without the sub. The new Venture X easily beats Chase Sapphire Reserve and imho it blows Amex Platinum out of the water.
If you are saying that this "blows the Amex platinum out of water" - you are definitely not using the Amex platinum the right way. I am easily able to get more value on my Amex platinum, especially recently due to so many Amex offers they have been running.

The AMEX Plat may almost not be considered a travel card (or heading that way). The "glorified coupon book" approach they are taking is very strange.
No one will argue AMEX offers are not a great value, however.​

Agreed. It pales in comparison to these cards on travel ease of use but somehow makes up for it with the coupons on other everyday spending categories. It still forces you to change your shopping behavior or otherwise remember to clip those coupons just to maximize value to the card.

Agreed, approach is indeed very strange. But for me, I am able to get enough value and come out ahead of the annual fees and at the same time there is a room to still enjoy some premium benefits. The automatic status updates for both Hilton and Marriot are I don't think available in other independent travel cards.

I spoke to AMEX about their "coupons" to express my displeasure. They said they have an overwhelming positive response to them. Either they are full of it or I'm the outlier. I eventually opted to downgrade to the Gold card and they pointed out I took advantage of a lot of the benefits of the Plat like the $200 incidental credit and the $15/mo. Uber credit. They don't understand there is a difference between using them because you are forced to in order to get some value or using them because you need them.

This card is an excellent option for those that do any traveling. IMHO it beats most other travel cards including Amex Platinum. I have the Venture card and I hope I can product change to the new card. I'm not sure I want to take three hard pulls on a cold app.
you can do that, but I don't think you'll be able to get the new signup bonus incentives with a product change.
