For those who might have had this in the past, the $250 credit is no longer a statement credit but a voucher to use in the Capital One portal. The portal is run by Hopper and is absolutely terrible for searching. If you search for 3 people in 1 room and you will get rooms with one bed and an occupancy limit of 2 people. There is also no way to have it sort to include additional fees and taxes - you just get the base rate until you select your room and then they add all the other charges. Even if you're using points, you get charged additional points at reservation to cover the tax. There can be a limited selection of hotels in some areas, with many common brands missing (compared to Booking or Agoda, or even the major flag portals like Bonvoy or Hilton). The prices are nearly always higher in the Hopper/CapOne portal than one of the major 3rd party (Booking/Priceline/Travelocity/Agoda/Expedia/Kayak meta) site for both hotels and cars, and ofter more expensive than booking direct. IMHO, if you're going to roll the dice booking 3rd party, you should be getting a better rate. If you use points for other than travel (statement credit) you get 1/2c per point, so it really is a travel-centric reward system. /end rant

Other than that it's a decent card and the Eno one-time/one-vendor card numbers are very helpful.
I have had this card for a year and there has not been a single deal or opportunity for the points.
Same. 800+ credit score and got rejected twice.

This whole statement is so accurate it's not even funny. Couldn't have said it better myself. Jacked up prices and horrible service. Other than that card is great though.

I'm all in on Chase, sitting at close to 500K points. Have considered Cap One in the past, but Chase UR portal is just so seamless and easy to use

C1 is not looking for people with excellent credit scores. If your score is ~800, you would likely not get approved.

I would recommend checking your probability of approval on Creditkarma or just use C1 pre-approval first. This would avoid a hit on your credit scores.

They declined me too. Already a client with a Quicksilver card, money in CD, and a 832 credit score displayed on their page.

Edit:
The rejection letter I got later states the following. I guess they don't like churners. Can't blame them.

The reason(s) for our decision are:
• Based on your credit report from one or more of the agencies on the back of this letter, there are
too many active credit cards based on your loan history
• Based on your credit report from one or more of the agencies on the back of this letter, there are
too many new revolving accounts

Your score is probably good. Their algorithm usually picks the ones that are at the beginning of their credit journey.

The main issue is that you cannot transfer the miles\points to some other reward system. However, you still can convert it to cash with a 1.5% rate. 75,000 might be around $400.

check the pre-approval on capone site - if you don't get the offer through that tool, likely they'll reject you (hard pull). I ran pre approval few times, don't see this card - assuming they'll reject me if i applied

Is that true for the regular Venture? My VX will transfer 1:1 into Flying Blue, Avios (BA et al/OneWorld), TAP (meh), Aeroplan (Star), Quantas,Virgin and several others. For hotels its only Wyndham or Choice (if you like terrible redemption values). You can also reimburse/credit statement against travel charges at a 1c/point rate, so 75,000 is $750 in statement credits for travel-coded purchases. It's true that AA/DL/UA aren't on the list, but they usually only favor their branded cards these days.

Thank you , 3 questions.

Are you saying the non x card can't transfer points to airlines etc?

I have the x card, if wife got the regular venture card, could she pool her points onto my x card?

What is the best use of x points?

Thank you again

What do you suggest using the travel credit on then, if not hotels? Sounds like flights is the best option, or perhaps car rental if you don't have subsidized contract rates with any car rental agency.

I generally don't trust my flying dollars to anyone but first party (airline direct) sales. If my flight gets changed, cancelled, delayed, or anything I don't want to have to argue with a 3rd party - and *definitely* not effing Hopper which has exactly zero CS support.

Hotels are, sadly, your best bet for burning the credit. Just know that you'll only get about 80-90c on the dollar for your reservation and - again, if things go sideways - you're on your own for changes or conflicts on site. If you're a skin-of-your-teeth traveler, or it's a last minute/same night reservation it's NBD. When you take my wife (, please) make sure you book direct with the hotel 'cause she's not going to care you got it for free with your Venture Card credit when she has to sleep in the airport or, God forbid, a Days Inn. .
