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 each card has something different to offer. I like the cell phone accident protection. Just use the venturex to pay your cell phone bill and all phones on the bill are covered up to $800. I have seven phones on my account.
Ha, I have a Wells Fargo Card for the same reason. The only thing I've ever used it for is that cell phone bill. I applied for a different WF card because it gives 2% back on everything with no AF. I was denied because I have too many cards opened recently...

No AF on that card. Skimpy sign up bonus ($200 I think) and I have no idea what their rates are but I've used the cell phone insurance once and they made good on it.
Anyone know if they will switch you from their other cards to this and get the bonus or is this for new customers? They keep trying to get me to upgrade my card.

New customers but you might be able to apply for one of their other cards separately and get a second bonus. That's what I did.
Can't you book directly with the airline or the hotel, and use the "Cover Your Travel Purchases" feature? Or is the redemption ratio not 1:1 with that feature?
From the Capital One website:
Cover Your Travel Purchases
Redeem your Venture miles on anything from hotel stays to unforgettable travel experiences with friends and family. You can redeem miles to cover the cost of any travel purchase made with your Venture card within 90 days of the purchase. With enough miles, you could essentially "erase" travel purchases from your most recent trip!
Purchases made from airlines, hotels, rail lines, car rental agencies, limousine services, bus lines, cruise lines, taxi cabs, travel agents and time shares are generally considered to be travel purchases, and availability for redemption is based on the merchant category code assigned to them by the merchant. Capital One is not responsible for how merchants assign these codes.
You spend $4000 in 3 months (with some $750 as airline ticket or hotel or car rental)
you will get 75000 bonus miles
Using cover your travel purchases option, example you booked a flight ticket for $750, you can redeem your 75000 miles to $750 as statement credit.
Incase if you dont have any valid airline ticket / hotel / rental within past 90 days, and if you decide to convert 75000 miles into statement credit, you will get only 750/2=$375 as statement credit.

That is helpful to know. Do any other travel related categories qualify? specifically will theme park tickets also qualify or is it restricted precisely to air/hotel/rental?
Also can I buy air tickets from any source (airline or intermediary like say kayak) using the card for the purchase to get full $750? Or am i restricted to capitalone's travel site?

I'm not sure about the theme parks tickets but for the second part of your question... yes, you can purchase tickets through any site using your Cap1 card and then get full value reimbursement as a statement credit. In fact, it's slightly preferred to do that because you'll earn a few more points when you buy those tickets.
Is Capital One sensitive if I just closed a credit card last week? The closed account has a good standing and from a different bank. Just wondering if it will impact my application with Capital One if they saw that I have a newly closed credit card account

1) theme park tickets mostly coded as entertainment (however in above link, they mention that theme park tickets purchases in 3rd party site might be coded as travel)
2) it seems kayak and other airline agencies will be covered, but i recommend either you book from airline website directly or book thru capital one travel portal (booking thru portal will get extra miles - i think 10x may be) and you can cover/redeem this purchase for 1:1 statement credit

they have weird approval policy. I have seen people with 800+ score got reject for venture card. if you have applied less than 5 cards in past 24 months, you can try their "pre-approval" (soft pull)

Do you know if Uber/lyft counts as travel?
