$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.

Any suggestions, if we should open such credit cards and cancel them before the end of year 1 to avoid the next year's fee.
Should we do that each year, Amex, CapitalOne, then Chase, then BOA and a few more one bank per year, and then back to the cycle starting with Amex after 5-6 years?
Any suggestions?
I am just not a fan of annual fee cards and will close after the first year.
1) Get annual fee cards
2) 4k spending
3) get sign up bonus
4) by end of year, 13th month, do product change to no annual fee cards
5) repeat step 1

Anyway, I just got approved for the Venture. This is my second time applying for it. I got denied when Capital One offered this same sign up bonus sometime last year. It really feels like a dice roll whether or not you get approved.
Ive three cards with them
quicksilver
Walmart Mastercard turned quicksilver
venturex card turned to venture one
If I get approved, I need to book a flight before the price goes up.

My account didn't let me use the virtual card until I activated the physical card. I was in a similar situation.
