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.

Capital One has the worst prices for airline tickets. I'd estimate they tack-on 25% when using their points.

Price is the same as Alaska Air website.
Pricing flights from CHS to OAX on the same dates in Nov, I get $700 with Google, American Air or the CapOne site. Same price for the shorter flight on all three.
So I wasp preapproved and then when I finished submitting application, it said will let you know in email about status of your application. Is there a recon number?
Interesting that I got a 90k offer from Chase the other day for the Chase Business Unlimited INK card. It requires a $6k spend in 3 months but there's no annual fee. I already have that card and two other Chase cards (all of which I got bonuses on) but I might try for yet another.
It's partially true. If you redeem the points for a statement credit (essentially cash), then they are only worth 0.5 cents/point. However, if you have any travel-related charges (hotel, airfare, car rental, etc), then you can redeem your points to offset those charges at 1.0 cents/point. They show up as a statement credit.
I think you can offset travel charges up to 90 days in the past, but I might be wrong about that.
How do you do that? Use points while making monthly payment?
Rewards, bonus points, transfer partners, ease of booking through their portal, other benefits etc
Earning in the chase system is generally a lot better because you have multiple cards that can get you 3x-5x in various categories... versus Cap one where other than flights booked via the portal you can only earn 2x max on anything.
Better transfer partners depends somewhat on what airlines you tend to use, though alliances make cross booking easier... I think Chase wins here but YMMV... (they're also the ONLY worthwhile option for hotels since they have Hyatt as a partner)
I don't generally book through the portal as transferring to airlines tends to return better value with most airlines-- but you get more "value" per point in the portal with Chase (1.25-1.5 c per point depending which paid card you have)
How do you do that? Use points while making monthly payment?
It's called "Cover travel purchases" on the rewards page. It will list any travel related charges going back a few months. Just pick one and apply however many points you wish towards that charge.
It is, in effect, a cash redemption, except that you need to have something travel related. Looks like airline/hotel/car rentals are eligible. Uber and Lyft might also be eligible, but I don't have any of those to verify.
Anyone get approved for the regular Venture (with SUB eligibility) recently that already had a Venture X?
I just got my VX about 2 months ago, and I'm wondering if I can double dip. I tried the pre-approval tool and was denied. The reason given was that I had a previous application that was still in process. How long do you have to wait before you become eligible again? I'd like to get the second SUB before C1 decides to put a restriction in V/VX the way Chase does with the Sapphire cards
