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'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.
HTH
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.

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?
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)

Thanks
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 :/
