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.

I know I didn't say, but I've had multiple amex cards in the past, didn't they go only one reward per card and it was lifetime?
Do you still have the cards or did you cancel them?
If canceled, how long has it been?

It's technically lifetime but it's possible you can get the intro bonus again if it's the credit history has fallen off your credit report. If this is the case you could apply and see if amex pop up tells you that you're not eligible for the sign on bonus.

Otherwise, you can go for the business version of the amex cards if you haven't applied for them in the past.

I had the main amex card twice, got the bonus twice. It's been 7-9 years but I'd hate to spend $6000 and not get the bonus. They have seriously increased their annual fees, I don't recall paying a fee but it shows gold is $325.

Amex gold has up to 100k offer if you check in incognito, elevated offer currently.
Amex plat would be another option, 175k intro offer.
Do you know what is the highest SUB for Amex gold in the past?

I got the gold card when the bonus was 90k points and $200 in credits for restaurants.
Currently people are seeing 100k bonus with $100 in credits for restaurants.

Min 1 cent value for amex points, it would equal the highest recent offer that I'm aware of.
If you value points more then it's better now.

The highest offer I've seen myself for amex business plat is 200k (got this recently as sole prop) and amex business gold is 175k. Probably safer option for you instead of the personal cards but there is a much higher spend requirement.

You can get up to $424 back in credits on the amex personal gold so it can be an improvement for some people vs the $250 annual fee and $240 back in credits prior to the most recent increase.

Ok, Thanks. I might apply for the Gold since my Corp card pays $100 of the annual fee

I have Venture X. I am trying to apply for this card and get rejected all the time. Is this because I can't keep both the cards? My CS is 750+

I also got denied. I got an email with a link to the denial letter. The reason I got was:

Based on your credit report from one or more of the agencies on the back of this letter, number of bank cards tradelines opened in the last 24 months

I'm pretty sure I've only opened 3 personal credit cards within the last 24 months. I'm wondering if they somehow count business credit cards, because I've opened a couple of those as well. Those aren't supposed to show up on your credit report though, right? But that's the only thing I can think of.

Does anyone know if Capital One has a rule similar to Chase's 5/24 rule? Thanks.

Mine said something about having too many accounts (I have none with C1.) When I called to ask about it, they tried to bring up maybe recent applications, of which I haven't opened a card or applied for over two years before yesterday. Really some BS.

C1 seems to not like to approve people with great credit scores, lots of ccs. They seem to target the mid tier where people are likely to carry balances from what I've read on other threads.

There is also supposedly a limit of two cards that they would issue, not certainly if it's a hard limit.

I don't think C1 will provide the actual reason they denied you though and just provide the same generic excuses for everyone.

You can get preapproved for the card so you don't waste a pull. Worked for me after getting denied twice in prior years.

These are the worse people. They initially approved, I spent 4k and got the 75k miles. The next day they put restriction on my account and closed my account few days later. Now they are saying I can not use my bonus miles and also they can not reverse annual fee even though it's them who closed the account. Looks like many people faced this issue, you can Google. I would suggest to avoid capital one.
