Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card: $250 Travel Credit + 75,000 Miles ($1,000 Travel Value) Expired

Same. 800+ credit score and got rejected twice.

Capitalone travel price matches with public sites. I made a booking and then called them and they price matched immediately and gave me travel credit.

So beware, they thank loyal customers, who are responsible with credit and don't always utilize credit they don't need,

That's technically true, but (a) there must be availability after you reserve, so you can't take the last [preferred bed/room type] publicly available at the time (b) you can't price match any rate if you have to log in - which means you're overpaying 10-15% right off the top - for Hilton, Marriott, Priceline, Booking, etc. member and (c) most rates are non-refundable, so if your price match is declined you're stuck with the higher rate. Even Hopper - CapOne's gateway - gives you better rates when you log in - rates which are non-price-matchable. And you can't call and price match ahead of time, because the gateway is online-only.

I don't know anyone of SlickDeals worth who is going to take a public price / from a public site and think that's the best you can do.

Not that's it's the end of the world, it just means that your $250 credit is worth more like $200 if you're a real slickdealer. The play for points, if you're not transferring to an airline partner for a last minute or special redemption, is to use their Offers portal for referrals - click through for Booking, Viator, or Expedia. They offer 10% statement credits on top of points when using the Offers. Instead of getting 5 points* on a questionable rate with a limited selection of properties and mediocre search capabilities, you get a competent hotel aggregator, a better rate, plus the 10% cb referral as a statement credit plus the 2 points per dollar spend which you can use to further reimburse yourself.

*I think Venture is 5 points. VX is 10. I still won't book though them.

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 applied for this card, but got rejected. Not sure why, my credit history is good!

No. Only if you have Venture. I checked this with Capital One.

C1's target customer is someone with pretty-good credit that will carry a balance. You were probably overqualified.

I have the card too.
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.
