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.

there are lot of referrals out there.. does it needs to be specific to this URL to get 100k? when going from general referral URL of a person it still shows 75k instead of 100k.

Do they have to generate a URL from this URL ( Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card [capitalone.com]) for us to get 100k?

Thanks
ok: i was trying to answer an issue: 100k ref link turned to 75k after pre-approval
they fixed this yesterday.
try again. you should get 100k post pre-approval

ans to your question: yes, referral link should come from person who has 100k referral.
What i notice is, most recently opened person's link shows 75k plus 250.
An account opened, months/years ago has 100k referral

No, on my app and account, my referal offer is specifically targeted for 100k. It seems it's targeted for certain people as my wife's referal link is 75k. no choice. I'd love to share my link for 100k but I guess posting here is against the rule?

I'll try again tomorrow

Does the referral give you $250 travel certificate as well or just the 100k or 75k in points?

New accounts show 75k plus 250.
100k links are available only for users who has this card for longer months/years.

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.
hm, its not showing up, i'll reach out to support to see what they say. thanks.

Yes it's specific referrals. When I log in to generate a referral link it specifically says 100k.

Quote from VictorTH :
This bank wants copies of drivers license, ss card and proof of address in order to activate the card. It's been 10 days since the acct was opened and they want 10 more days to review the uploaded documents in order to be able to use this card. By the time it's activated there's only 60 days to reach the spend limit. What POS bank.
Yea kind of bs. Have you tried calling to ask if they can extend it? I know other banks do that.



Also other banks build in a 2 week buffer since they know it takes up to 2 weeks get the card.

Is there a pre-approval link for this specific card and offer? Tried the generic link and it only shows pre approval for no fee card.

Was just denied (with a very high credit score) for "too many active credit cards based on your loan history" (I do have more than 10, ~5% utilization). More like CapitalNoFun

Approved, but with a 30% APR and an 820 credit score? These credit card companies are getting super predatory.
