Bigger bonuses. Then once it's time to renew, you downgrade to a no annual fee card.

No matter whatever card you get from them, Cap One is wasted credit inquiries. They like to pull ALL three bureaus. Most other cards only pull one. Nothing Cap One offers is worth 3 inquires on your reports.
Cancel after one year. So effectively a $650 bonus.
Show me a no annual fee card with a ~$650 bonus... I'll wait.

I've heard the Capital one booking system has slim options but wonder if anyone with more experience can weigh in on that?
I liked it. It was simple to use and easier to get a hold of them the hotel themselves.
One thing I learned is that the service has it's own rooms blocked. So the rooms aren't what the hotels have.
Advantage: if rooms are sold out due to an event, this could be easier to book through capital one. In my case I wanted a really nice suite where the hotel was sold out of, but capital one still had some available.
Negative: you can't use rewards programs with the hotel. That's annoying as bc I'm cheap and trying to maximize. Also it means you have to book things separately (like a cabana in my case).
I've had both the venture and x (still have the x). Their point transfer is, imho, very limited and - unlike Chase high end cards which offer 1c cash or 1.25/1.5c for certain travel/trade - you only get 0.5c in credit or 1c/point towards travel. I love the one time use cc numbers, but that's avail on all cards. Their travel portal is middling at best, but I find it unnecessarily restrictive (can't use a Hertz Prez Circle number, no multi-destination or open jaw airfare) and - in some cases - their cash-back referral portal gives better return than their 5x miles tier for travel portal purchases.
75k/4k is a good ratio and worth the AF for the first year, but I'd def drop before I paid a second AF for CapOne. Unless they sweeten the pot with a large credit bonus I'll prob drop my VX when my AF is up and just stick with their free cash back.
I have Venture X since Nov 21 and applied this today but it didn't approve but it popped up another screen with counter offer of other two cards - I don't remember which two were there. I called them to reconsider but rep told me to wait until I get a rejection letter.
Lol the Venture X is the card that got away, still not sure why but that was the only app I've had denied in a long while. Surprised to see this one finally went through.
Just got this one for the wife. She just got approved for the sapphire offer for 80k as well a couple of weeks ago. Planning on applying for the venture X and Citi premier on my end in a few weeks. Have to furnish a whole house so this is perfect timing to rack up these points!
I've booked flights on the travel site. The selection is about par what you see on Google flights. I do only see Spirit, Frontier, Delta, AA and United flights and their prices match the price on the other travel sites. They also do price protection if you book a flight when they suggest you to do it and if the price drops within a week, then they'll credit you the difference. I got back $30 for one flight.
Agree with the post as far as prices being in par. Noticed though there is a small fee on top of the price though. I think it was less than a couple of dollars. That fee is not refunded even if you cancel within 24 hours and cancellation has to be done with the airline. Price protection feature seems nice though..
Why get a credit card with annual fees when there are plenty without the fee
You'd hate to see my wallet
I'll assume you are genuinely asking. The best answer is because you get MORE value for money you were ALREADY going to spend throughout the year.
There are calculators out there for every major rewards/travel card, plug in your spending and see what the card is worth to you.

I think Venture X is still the best bet... For $395 fee.... you are getting $300 in travel back... and another 10000 points ($100) value every year... and also the same 75000 bonus points.
Keep in mind the $300 credit is ONLY for travel purchases made THROUGH Capital One Travel. And if it's anything like Chase's rules, you don't earn points on the $300 they credit back, but you would on any amount over $300.
That's why I love my CSR, $300 back on very loosely defined travel makes it much easier to use the credit. Even though I buy tickets almost exclusively through Chase Ultimate Rewards portal anyway.
This is my primary card. Never had an issue redeeming miles either through their portal or applying them retroactively to a flight purchased directly with an airline or travel agency (believe it will find airline charges automatically within 90 days of purchase). You can also just apply the miles towards your statement balance if you don't travel much.
Best travel perk is the free Global Entry/TSA precheck that saves quite a bit of time depending on the airports you frequent.
The Capitol One lounges are only $65 without a card FWIW, and the only one is currently in Terminal D at DFW. Just went last week, was pretty nice. On par with AA's Admirals Club and the like, will be a much better travel perk whenever they finally get around to putting them in more airports.
Aside from that Capitol One's Eno virtual card service is pretty nice and I wish everybody offered something similar.
If you apply it as a statement balance will it be a 1:1?
Am I eligible for this card if I had this 3 years back?
Not eligible for the promo if you switched the account to another capital one card and still have it. I also used to venture. And then switched to quicksilver after the promo. They'll let me switch back, but no more promo :/

Most premium 1st party cards (ie not cobranded by a hotel or airline or something) will overnight or 2-day ship a new card at your request.
Amex most broadly gives you instant # but there's a number of others who offer a way to use the card instantly (often via app or mobile wallet)
