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.

The $250 feels pretty useless if you have to use it through their portal.
Similar to the Chase Preferred $50 credit, I have yet to use it after so many year.,

I agree about never using my $50 credit with my CSP, but I think $250 is a significantly greater amount that makes it worth using (even if it is through Capital One's portal).

Case in point, with my Venture X's yearly $300 travel credit, I make it a point to use it every year. And to Capital One's credit, I've been able to price match a few times after booking a hotel stay or a car rental through their portal, and that has been pretty easy to do as well.

With my case, I have tons of Hyatt and IHG points so I rarely pay for a hotel room.
For car rentals, I have a corporate Avis account and unbeatable rates so I doubt I will go through Capital One portal.
I assume the $250 credit will expire so what else can I use the $250 credit for through CO portal ?

I was trying to apply with a credit score of over 800. During the application process, they asked if I had dual citizenship, and I answered yes, stating that my other country is Ukraine. I have lived in the USA for 25 years. However, my application was declined with the explanation that I had opened too many credit cards this year. In reality, I haven't opened any new credit cards in the last three years.

Can confirm. I just got off the phone with them and they are not interested in retention or honoring any different deal.

It looks like you can also book flights, but I've never used that so I can't comment.

WTH , I opened an account 3 weeks ago and already spent the 4k and got the 75k miles but not the $250

Same here. I called and they wouldn't give it to me either. Told me sorry we can't do that. I even pressed them that Amex and Chase have done that for me in the past when I had similar situations.

814 credit score and denied with only 7 or 8cards. Four of them are on the newer side but still don't understand the denial.

Too many accounts opened recently

How long until you can refer a new cardholder? I would get this then refer my husband.
Pretty sure once your account is active, you should be able to

I heard they would check for Hard enquiries, if the hard enquiries are more than 2 or 3 in your current credit profile, you would get rejected. Doesnt matter the credit score. I was told by a bank professional that if you have equivalent credit cards with other banks like chase sapphire, chances are you would get rejected for that reason too

Total newbie here with occasional travel. I have $4000 due on my income tax. I was thinking of using this card to satisfy the signup bonus. Would this be a good idea? Thanks

How does the TSA/Global Entry perk work? Do you apply for TSA/GA and then the card credits you back? Do you have to submit a reimbursement? Anyone have an idea?

Also, does it count toward your spend amount?

It could. You would have to weigh the fee for paying by credit card vs the reward you get. There are a few services out there with lower fees that you'd have to look into.

Here's a great article about it - https://10xtravel.com/pay-taxes-w...edit-card/
