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.

I can upgrade my basic Capital One card to the Venture X card, but I don't think I'll receive the $250 bonus after meeting the spending requirement. Should I upgrade ?

I've gotten every single Chase (except 5/24 violations), Amex, and Citi card I've applied for, and have still never been approved for a single Capital One card...

Generally speaking, upgrading (or product changing) your existing credit card to another does not make you eligible for whatever sign up bonus is being offered. You have to sign up via a credit card application. Are you trying to avoid a hard pull?

Also, I'm assuming you meant the Venture card, because the Venture X is a separate credit card with a higher annual fee ($395) and no one-time travel credit of $250 (but it does have an annual $300 travel credit).

Quote from BrentH560 :
Can the 75,000 bonus miles be converted to a statement credit?
yes, you can - if you have a valid travel transaction such as flight, rental cars, hotel in the past 90 days.

if you just convert to statement credit, u will get only 50% -> $375
if you redeem for eligible travel transaction, then you will get 100% -> $750
but you can redeem only for the past 90 days.

I'm still showing 20k, maybe it hasn't updated for me yet. My Venture is brand new though, had the x for years but just got this one using the standard 75k. 100k is as good as it gets for a $95 card.

The problem is that they cut referral bonus to only 10k, last week it was 20k.

Referral of 100k points is real, I just tested the referral link from my account. DM if you need guidance.

While it stinks, I never max out referrals anyway. I'll take 10k to get a win/win with a stranger.

Is this a special link. One of my friend shared his referal code. Will that give me 100k? how much does he get?
each link is specific to an account, they will get 10k points if you get approved while utilizing their link. tell him you want half, which is $50 Smilie

Just make sure it's for the 100k points and not standard 75k plus travel credit, you may need to try different browsers or incognito mode to see 100k.
