Man kinda feels overwhelming to understand this as a first timer, i was simply flying using cash without using points/credits, this is really helpful Thanks
@@nalanidejesus If the card was issued earlier than I believe like a month ago, it will still be a visa card, and will still work. Only cards issued more recently have been a mastercard ( hence wont work at a costco )
We just got this card because my wife couldn't get approved for the Venture X. It's not entirely bad. Yes you can't use this at Costco anymore. But now that it's a MC World Elite, it comes with some trip protections.
Hi Max. I'm new to the cc points way of traveling. While I'm still nervous at booking, I'm thankful for your videos. btw..I used your referral code for the Venture card for me and my hubby.
Love you videos and spreadsheet! I’m curious on how you book direct flights for you and a family member as well for to the destination and back! Do you do it all on miles are find yourself book one ticket with miles snd the other with cash! I’m use to round trip flights so direct flights are new to mile along with the miles system!
I am deciding between venture and venture x. Do you think it would make more sense to just get a venture for right now and then upgrade or reapply for the venture x in a year or so? I like the benefits of venture x more and can see myself holding on to the card but this venture offer feels too good to pass on especially because the additional lounge benefit that id get with the venturex, wont apply until 2025 as i can use the venture for the 1-2 flights i have planned in 2024 while that benefit still exists. Would appreciate your thoughts!
great review. wouldn't the Venture One be the entry level travel card for Capital One. The Venture One has No Annual Fee. Also allows access to Capital One's travel portal and can convert Savor One cash to miles.
i have Venture X. Can I sign up for the Venture, get the bonus, use the points and $250 credit and then cancel the card after I burn the bonus? I don't need both ill keep the X
Yup that’s correct , I mention that in the video the lounge benefit for the Venture is going away at the end of 2024 or worded differently the benefit will not be available in 2025
It's a soft two personal card limit so ymmv. There are data points of people have more than two personal credit card with capital one and there data points of people being denied.
If anyone is wondering I yolod and applied and got it. I had a savor one that was a PC from a quicksilver that was a PC from a Platinuim. I also had a venture x that I got in December.
Thanks for the quick reply! Appreciate you surfacing the elevated promo as I was about to apply for the VentureX the other day. Do you know if there’s a wait period if you want to take advantage of both SUBs? Figure I’ll apply for the Venture now, but definitely want to grab the VentureX as well if the SUB is elevated in the next few weeks
@@MaxMilesPoints least I could do! Was a super quick approval, thanks again for surfacing this! Do you happen to have a referral link for the Chase Biz Preferred? Would be happy to support you there as well if possible
Does C1 have 5/24 like rules? I applied and was told no based on my usage and or like applications in 24 months. I have the VX and have had 3 new cards in the last 2 years, with the 3rd being the CSP 2 months ago.
I have the quicksilver card and been wanting to get the venture x but they haven't done a 90k offer in some time now, would this be a good alternative to go with then upgrade?
You can but if you do get the venture then its recommended you wait a year to upgrade to the venture x. But by upgrading you won't get the bonus. what i would do would be to get the venture now with the higher bonus. wait 12 months and if the venture x has a higher bonus apply for the card, then later cancel the venture. Just my two cents!

A Small correction: The Venture was recently converted to a Mastercard. Hence it wont work at Costco in the US.
ooppss thanks for correcting me! So maybe miscellaneous spend categories but just not Costco. Thanks!
You can still use MasterCard on Costco.com or the app!
It does work at costco in the US. I use mine everytime I shop there

@@nalanidejesusyeah this card won’t work at Costco they just told me they won’t accept it yesterday lol
I received my card 3 days ago on 7/13. I called them yesterday and escalate to a supervisor but she won't budge.
😕 ohhh no that sucks. Unfortunately I haven't seen any positive data points on Capital One matching to a higher bonus.
lol that’s capital one for you.

Buy a visa gift card before going to cost :-)

Thank you for using my link! The first redemption is always nerve racking but you got this! 👍
The venture is a visa? Thought it was master card
I just wish they added a yearly travel portal credit (like CSP) so it can be a low RAF keeper card :/

I got the venture x Sept 2023, would I still be eligible for the SUB on this Venture rewards card?
Can I redeem those points for an account credit towards card balance. Please let me know. Thank you
If you have the venture before the Mastercard swap. If you upgrade to the venture x will it change to a Mastercard
i have Venture X. Can I sign up for the Venture, get the bonus, use the points and $250 credit and then cancel the card after I burn the bonus? I don't need both ill keep the X
Is there a way to know when is the last day?
My benefits say lounge access is going away end of Dec 2024
Yup that’s correct , I mention that in the video the lounge benefit for the Venture is going away at the end of 2024 or worded differently the benefit will not be available in 2025
damn damn damn I just got the chase ink a week a go for 100,000 point T__T
secure message them a lot of positive data points of people getting matched to the higher bonuses
Do you need to use $4,000 on Capital One Travel portal to get the 75,000 miles bonus? Or even other purchases?
No you don’t need to use the $4k in the capital one travel portal. It could be anything
If you get the venture are you able to downgrade it to a savor one after the first year?
@adocloja you can try. I tried doing this last week and they told me no. I would have to close my venture card
Can the annual travel credit of VentureX ($300) and this card ($250) be merged?
My assumption is yes! I have the venture X and venture X business and both of those credits show up combined in the capital one travel portal for me
I got venture x is 2022, would i still get the sub for venture?
Yup!
Does anybody know if you can sign up for the venture rewards if you already have an active venture x and savor one
Been wondering the same. I've seen that you can't have more than 2 Capital One cards but have also seen people who have more than 2
It's a soft two personal card limit so ymmv. There are data points of people have more than two personal credit card with capital one and there data points of people being denied.
If anyone is wondering I yolod and applied and got it. I had a savor one that was a PC from a quicksilver that was a PC from a Platinuim. I also had a venture x that I got in December.
Does the $250 expire?
Yeah 12 months after issue
Do you think the VentureX will be updated to include this offer?
I hope so but haven't heard anything about any changes to the Venture X bonus 😕

They tend to deny people with good credit. Capital ones big rule is 1 capital one card every 6 months.
Wow you're 3/24 and got denied? No hope for me. Already got denied earlier this year
