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.

Thanks so much for that info. Downloaded app to my iPad but it says "This account is currently restricted". It's only been 2 dys since approval so maybe too soon. I'll try again in a couple of dys.

Surprising. I was pre-approved and immediately was able to get virtual CC . Call csr and ask them to remove any restrictions . That would be my advise

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



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.
Chase travel portal is garbage, inflated prices, and they don't price match like Capital One does.

Also Chase restricts what you can do through their website, forcing you to make a phone call to them for things like requesting a credit limit increase.

This is really helpful; they make it sound like it's super liberal and transfers to anything/everything. Apparently not so.
They have tons of transfer partners:

Yes- Same here- I canceled it right after one year.

They still have lots of Priority Pass lounges with food in the Lounge. Also Plaza Premium lounges are also included and it's awsome

Had to upload a photo of my drivers license and restriction was lifted.

Quote from Masterguy :
Download capital one app. Sign in and click on 'get your virtual card'. You have a unique 16 digit number along with all details. Just use it for online purchases. That's what I did to purchase 8k worth of air tickets immediately after approval.

If you are planning to use in store, you have to wait 7 working days before your card will arrive

Quote from GonzaloGallegos :
Just got mine and activated it. They charged me the annual fee from day one. Is this normal? I thought the annual fee was after the first year?

Many credit cards waive the fee for the first year, so there is no such charge until the one year mark. Capital One Venture isn't one of them. It's normal to get the fee charged when the card is first issued, and every year after that of course.

One downside is that the dollar values in Capital One Travel are always about 5% higher than the equivalent airline website.

Did everyone get charged on day one? I thought it was only after year one. Is it same with venture. X? Charged on day one?

Yes, I was charged on day one. As I said, they don't waive the fee for the first year.
I believe it's the same for Venture X, but I don't have this card.

You can also check doctorofcredit (website) for details, and search the comments there for recent data points.

I'd suggest skipping the shopping portals and 3rd party online agencies and booking directly at the airline's website anyway.

You can't. The points and travel credit are only valid on their portal.

True, but if something goes wrong with the flight, or you need to make a change, each company will tell you that you need to deal with the other.
It's not worth it, in my opinion. You will still get 2 x the miles/points using the credit card on the airline's site.

If you use portal you get 5X points plus $300 credit. They also price match the price for any other website
