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 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.
I recently applied for venture x card. Will I be eligible for this card? Also can I combine the point from the two cards?
You can combine/transfer points between accounts in capital one (even to another person).
Not sure on the data points of being approved for this with promo if you have Venture-X.
If I were to guess, I would say low probability. C1 is quite tightfisted with approvals and bonuses.
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.
Either they have watered down the price protection recently or it depends on the ticket.
Couple of months ago, I was offered a max of $5 price protection for an international ticket.
Also, their prediction/recommendation was to "wait to buy", but the fare just kept going
up all the way to the departure date.

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).
Can't we get the confirmation code and enter it manually in the hotel rewards site?
Capitol 1 has weird approval system.
If you have good to excellent credit score, don't waste your HP on them.
They are also the only major creditor pulls from all 3 credit bureaus.
I'd advise stay away from them.
any idea about credit score and credit history requirements for this card? I just want to check roughly if I fall in this credit card eligibility criteria
700+ to be safe, but 685 might get you there if you have other positive factors in your report.
Food for thought; the Venture X has more lounge access and airport perks. It's $395, but comes with a yearly $300 travel credit. So if you buy essentially one plane ticket a year, it comes out to the same annual fee as the regular Venture card. I tried to ugrade when I realized this, but they said I'd opened my account too recently.
I've been using the Venture X for about a year. I got 100k bonus with it, but I figured I'd share my thoughts on those points. It's love/hate. The points transfer to a VERY slim number of partners. Most all of us will be stuck using the Capital One Travel portal to use them. Now, that's a good and bad thing. The good means you can use those points with any airline and any hotel. The bad is that I've had small issues with certain flights showing up on the carrier's website but not Capitol One's, and/or, the price is 2% higher on Capitol One's website, and/or, only the "basic" economy seat is available which costs extra for seat selection instead of the "regular" economy. etc etc Now then, I have found that if I just book the basic economy fare, my status with that airline then allows me to go into the carrier's app and select my seat/check a bag with no fees. So, overall, I'm doing pretty well with Capitol One Travel despite some hoop-jumping. But I could see how some people might have a different experience.
The regular Venture does not come with Priority Pass.... which honestly my experience with Priority Pass has been mixed too. Some lounges are overfilled and not allowing Priority Pass members. Or maybe they are, but you've got to wait awhile whereas other members walk right in. I waited over an hour in Vegas for entrance. First world problems for sure. But just telling you the real experience. It's not like having Admiral's Club or Centurion access, for example.
But as others have mentioned, the Venture X comes with a $300 travel credit and I also got a $200 AirBnB credit[thepointsguy.com] (don't see that called out anymore). Free global entry credit too, if you don't already have it.
