I just applied and got denied with an 820 credit score but with over 30 cards and 0 debt
Cons: Customer service is not as consumer friendly as Chase or Amex
$250 travel credit has to be spent through their terrible portal, which is just a Hopper re-skin and routes reservations through 3rd parties (my last was an Expedia reservation). Most costs for the portal are higher than if you have an account with 3rd party sites like Booking, Agoda, or Priceline and CapOne will NOT match a logged-in price. There is no telephone customer service for booking.

Pros: Eno vendor specific CC numbers with number cancellation and holds are great for online signups
2 points per dollar spent and direct reimb. for travel using points at 1pt=1c is essentially a 2% cash back card if you travel
No foreign tx fees (for those who travel internationally)

If you travel a little, it's a good card. If you travel more than 3-4 times a year, especially if your preferred airport has a CapOne lounge, the VentureX is a better product to have ($395AF), but this is a good stop gap with a solid bonus.
What's in MY wallet? Too many cards. That's what CapOne tells me every time when they hard-pull all three bureaus to deny me with 800+ FICO.

Couple of questions on this offer. Can you be referred to this Venture card by a Venture X card holder? I know that works with the Chase Preferred and Reserved
Also, any news on a similar bonus being added to new Venture X applicants? ie extra $250 credit...thinking it's just a matter of time before that goes live too? TIA
1. No
2. Nobody knows but it's rare. I remember they had 100k pts with 10k spend within 6months. if you really want the VX you can wait.​

To anyone with this card, chime in on its usefulness if you don't really travel a whole lot?
Right, but if you want to churn, its a good offer. Since you get 75k miles + $250 credit + 120 TSA/GE for just $95 AF. You can always downgrade or cancel after a year.

I think the X version is better, at least on each renewal: 395$ annual fee and 300$ travel credit + 10000 pts (worth 100$ for travel). You are making 5$ every renewal at this point, let alone the priority pass, and a few other benefits.

The only catch is that their new account bonus may not be as high as this card. If I remember correctly, they only offer 75000 miles after 4k spending, without the 250$ credit. I guess this card is only better than X for the first year, assuming priority pass means nothing to you.

Anyone know when this promo ends? Just applied for my college aged daughter - want to do another for a second daughter, but prefer to wait a bit - don't want to spend $8k in just 3 months!

It is easy. U just call customer care and ask for product change.

you don't even need to call them.. just transfer the rewards, pay your balance and close the account

one thing i had to do was check all the merchants from statements where auto pay was set and all the virtual card numbers that I had been using.. didn't realize it added up to 50s in a year

Quote from yuvamysterio :
yes. you can redeem miles as statement credit

but 75k miles is equivalent to $375

cash/statement credit redemption = 1:0.5 cent
travel redemption (flight/rental car etc) = 1:1 cent
One note here. You can absolutely redeem miles as a statement credit against travel related charges with a ratio of 1:1. You don't have to book travel through Capital One. You just charge whatever travel related charge you have (hotel, flight, car, etc) and you use their app/website to apply miles to that purchase and take it off your statement. Pretty flexible, you might be surprised at how much they consider "trave" related. I think I used it to remove charges at UPS once before.
