$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.

You can go directly to the capital one travel portal. Once you login, there's a banner telling you that they've added $250 to your travel credit balance.
If you want to check in the apps, go to the Benefits tab on the bottom > Discover travel & lounges > Choose account (if you have more than 1 C1 credit cards) > Book a trip, then it will take you to the travel portal. The travel credit banner will show up in the middle.
Yeah you consider it as free but you are talking in a public forum and it is not free so don't say it free otherwise you will confuse people.
So is it right to say that a referral would be the better option vs this sign up bonus for the extra $250 travel credit?

another difference is you need to spend 5k to get 100k points (thru referral link)
here, in public offer, you just need to spend 4k to get 75k points + $250 credit.
$250 credit - expires at the end of 1 year and miles will not
$250 credit - can be used only within their portal and it restricts my option to find best deals.

Ah thanks, I didn't realize its 5k spend for the referral. Thank you! Would you happen to know what the friend gets as a reward perk?
Anyone knows the trick to get 100k?

Try again... What do you have to lose? It's not a hard pull
Do they have to generate a URL from this URL ( Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card [capitalone.com]) for us to get 100k?
Thanks
This comes within 10-15 days thru USPS and the problem is your 90 days starts on the same of the approval. Typically you will have only ~75 days to spend $4k.
