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 want to add a point here. For Venture X general usage we get 2 miles for every dollar and so while redeeming for cash if I get 1 cent for 2 miles then the cash redemption rate equals 1 cent per dollar.
On Chase (CSR/CSP) you make 1 mile per dollar, you redeem 1 cent per mile.
You get the best redemptions on travel and that is the whole point of these travel cards.

While all that is true- if you're getting 1 mile per dollar spent with a Chase card you're doing it wrong.
Chase Unlimited gets you 1.5x per dollar, no annual fee, on non-category spend.
Likewise with Ink Cash, Freedom and CSR you can get 5x on common spend each quarter, cable/phone/internet year round, and 3x on restaurants... (plus 3x on travel, but this is the one spot Cap One competes as it has bonus earn on travel too)
The much broader ability to get your spend into bonus categories is part of what makes building up Chase points faster/easier than with Cap One....
Amex used to suck at this game but has gotten a fair bit better, with ways to earn ~3-4x in several categories and 2x on everything these days.

Agree. I was just comparing the general use on 2 of the travel cards. I do make use of the card that gives me the best return.
I own a Venture X card and find their travel shopping portal prices to be frustrating. They quote you a price but after taxes and fees the end price is usually higher than 3rd party travel sites like booking.com. It usually by 5-10% which is the miles you earn with hotels or flights. I have trouble getting myself to use the miles because I can get a better deal elsewhere.

In that case, what do you think is a better use for the points collected at ventureX here?

Best use of points is still through the portal, but you aren't saving much money compared to other travel sites. You will get the 1.5-2x per dollar with venture/venture x general purchases and 5x via travel portal but it's more of a wash. I'm just giving SDers a heads up before owning this card thinking they will get a better travel deal.

Just a couple ideas:
Prepay bills like cell phone, utilities, cable/internet. Switch car insurance and pay for a 6 month or 12 month policy. Buy gift cards for gifts or at stores or restaurants you regularly go to.

Have you tried using CapitalOne offers (credits for shopping page)? Currently you can get 5% back in statement credit at booking.com and earn the 2% in miles. They have other 3rd party travel sites on there, as well.

I've done this. Problem is the sale has to be for the same room type/ date, or flight seat type/date/ticket type. Meaning, the conditions have to match exactly, and you can't be logged into an account, where the 3rd party may have given you a better deal. Sometimes you get a deal because you may have clicked through a Google link or promotion link, and that may not work because the capital one two needs to be able to do the same thing to get the same promotion, ie be in cognito mode and arrive at the same price.

Yes. I've used them and send the cashback rates. Their chrome browser extension actually gives better rates than the credit card shopping portal. While using Chrome, it sees what you are doing for and sometimes gives a higher rate than the regular rate on the capital one portal(not credit card one). Better yet, I've bought a hotel room and it sent me an email for a higher rebate rate than the one I bought it at. It was trip advisor 10% which became 40%! I canceled and tried again and it posted a week later. Booking dot Com was 7% became 10%. I usually compare the different rebate she's before buying. Try the chrome extension. Only caveat is rewards can only be redeemed for a variety of gift cards.

No, you will have to wait until you received and activated the card.
