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.

If I get this card and claim the sign up bonus, how long do I have to wait for applying to Venture X and be eligible for Venture X sign up bonus?

Applied pre-approval, got approved it for wife.

I got ventrue x already this year. can i get lounge access for wife using mine? or add her as additional card holder if she got the Venture card?

We dont travel much now, but she like the lounge access and may start more travel starting next year.

I thought may be get this card now, get the bonus and if we going to travel, then upgrade.

75k + 250 credit - 100 = $150 better than venture x card (until we use much of travel benefits). Is there any reason for me to upgrade her now to venture x card? Is my logic flawed?
Add her as authorized user to your venture x account (free). This will give priority pass for lounges. Venture card will have 2 visits per year to cap one lounges and plaza premium but it won't matter since your Venture X will allow unlimited visits.

C1 seems to not do product changes like chase/amex. They may require your wife to apply again for venture X in future. Best to wait a year and contact CS to see if it can be upgraded so you get the $400 total credit on the X vs no credits and still paying $95 annual fee on venture.

For 2 player mode, would you recommend P1 for Venture X and P2 for Venture, rather than both have Venture X? It sound as if Venture X paid for itself ($400 annual credit - $395 fee), doesn't it?

Any suggestions on a travel credit card that uses a good portal? I thought Citi would be good because they use booking but they limit what's available from booking and we found it worthless.

Definitely get Venture X for both long term since it's essentially free $5 per year to keep the card.

This Venture offer is good to get the 1k value if you don't mind having to try to upgrade in year 2 to Venture X or having to apply for Venture X then canceling the Venture after.

You're supposed to transfer the points to an airlines partner like Virgin or Air France. You can easily book 15k one way to europe when they have sales.

Venture X is $300 travel credit and not $400.
You do get 10000 points yearly but only starting the first year anniversary.

Thank you! I didn't realize C1 don't upgrade or downgrade.

I will add her to my card.

Is there another big signup card at the moment? Building deck and got room to meet big bucks in 3 months. Would payoff immediately, so apr doesn't matter as well.

That person was incorrect. You can downgrade and upgrade. But you shouldn't do this because it would make your wife ineligible for the Venture X sign up bonus.

My wife and I both got the Venture X. I downgraded to the venture one (since I've had this card in the past). She was an authorized user on my venture x before she got her own. Now I'm an authorized user on her Venture X.

If your wife gets this sign up bonus, it would be better for her to product change to Venture One after one year because she would still be eligible for the Venture X sign up bonus.

Also, another benefit of adding her as an authorized user is that you can pool points. Meaning all her Miles from her Venture can be transferred from her account to yours. This must be done online (not via the app) on her end.

You mean like a bonus to transfer to other programs?

I'm surprised that no one called out the fact or even on the DOC site that cap1 doesn't have any Marriott/Hilton/hyatt /ihg travel partners like Chase.

I found out hard way after I got the spark miles and only transfer partners are airlines
