The points are awesome -- ended with about 85000 (75000 + 2x points per dollar on purchases) flight miles and you can apply them 1 cent per point to past travel related expenses for up to 90 days.
When our trip was done, we just found those items, 'covered' the cost of travel on those and the bill went down. Love it.
There are so many other great benefits -- still have out $300 travel credit for when one of their Capital One Travel deals is close to the best we can find elsewhere.
Does the travel credit needs to be used on Capital One website or can be on any airline?
- Tsaprecheck or global entry fee waiver worth 100.
- Priority pass
$300 only if you book through their portal.
2 x Priority pass for venture as well.
Redeem for recent travel
You can use your miles to redeem for recent eligible travel purchases made in the last 90 days on your Venture or Spark card at a fixed rate of 1 cent each. There's no minimum redemption amount. You can redeem for purchases made with airlines, hotels, rail lines, car rental agencies, limousine services, bus lines, cruise lines, taxi cabs, travel agents and timeshares.
Anyone know what might have transpired?

Reason for denial : Too many active credit cards based on your loan history

There is no going back in time for CC SUB. You get what is available at the time of application. I would be surprised to see SUB applied that way from any CC.

One question, is the $300 credit, is it right after you signup the card or do you need to pay $395 for one year and then they provide it as annual benefit on next year? I anyway may have a travel plan this year (4k on tickets atleast), but if it is not first year, then may just go with the regular Venture ($95/year).
Show me a no annual fee card with a ~$650 bonus... I'll wait.
[a NON-business card with that bonus!]
American Airlines Red Aviator MasterCard. Can get first year fee waived, and often a miles bonus if you have a promo code. I got 65,000 miles for spending $1 on the card and used the miles for approximately $750 worth of flights. Can't beat that.
Amex Hilton Honors card isn't bad either. No AF, can get 100,000 points for $1,000 spend. If you find good redemptions you can get about $600-700 from it

The credit will be added within a few days of card opening. So you can use it for your travel purchases purchase.

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.

No annual fee. Some folks have an irrational fear of them, to the point they'll turn down objectively better signups if they include one for some reason (like cards where you get hundreds more dollars in sign up bonus but have to pay a $95 fee for example)
Most bank-currency points offer some kind of statement credit option, but many are objectively worse value doing that (Amex being a prime example) versus using them for travel in various ways (portals, or usually best of all-transfers to airlines (plus Hyatt in the case of Chase))
