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 was also denied. Credit score shows as 799 and 800 on Credit Karma. I do have several cards with zero balance. Sounds like they just want the customer to hold debt.

WTH , I opened an account 3 weeks ago and already spent the 4k and got the 75k miles but not the $250
I opened one the first time they did the 75k promo. After a year they didn't want to increase my credit line so I applied for another card which they approved me for with the same promo. Now that I have downgraded both cards to Quicksilver and I do their prequalified and don't qualify for this any longer

I called them and they say no virtual card until i physically activate the card and no expedite option available. Looks like am stuck for a week now without a way to using the card. I am hoping something changes in 24 hrs. Anyone else had luck or other ways to get this sooner.

Try using an iPhone. I tried to get virtual card on android didn't work but iPhone was successful!

I haven't received the physical card so I have no idea if there's any letter about the bonus. But I was able to use the virtual one and in the apps, it shows the 75,000 miles bonus track meter. It also shows the time you have to earn the bonus.

Same, excellent credit. PreApproval test comes back suggest Venture One only.

Were you denied as well? Or just that you were not pre-approved for Venture (only venture one)?

There is no other way to even try apply Venture (like hard pull) via referral option. Basically only button is go through the preapproval process, then after the result is presented, I only get VentureOne as the only option to continue. I don't need VentureOne.

At least I didn't waste a hard pull and still not get Venture.

Weird thing is that I had Venture few years ago.

I am in the same boat and am extremely frustrated. I have had a CapOne card for 20+ years and I go this card because I need a new washer/dryer which only had 2 days of being on sale left at Costco. Planned to use virtual card but of course now the sale has lapsed and I now only have 2.5 months to hit 5k spend. Very disappointed. Feels illegal that they can start the clock on hitting the spend limit when I have no way to use the card.

If you find that your personal link is showing the 75k+$250 offer, you can modify it to show the 100k. Just get the i.capitalone.com link from your referral page and open it in a new browser. The i.capitalone.com link from your referral page is a shortened link leading to a longer link. In the longer link look for the text "programCode=" and change the number that shows after the "=" to 3201 so it reads "programCode=3201". And reload it. You'll see that you now have the 100k offer. Congrats!

Credit score is one dimension, credit history is another to consider

No, my question is, I see 100k miles, but after I try the pre approval, the final offer changes back to 75k plus 250 credit
