This is my go to card these days. One feature that I haven't seen anyone mention except you is the virtual cards. You can generate as many as you want, and lock or delete them instantly. I find this feature extremely useful for cancelling subscriptions that try to lock you in to a few months or a year. I can just get my free trials or use until I don't need it anymore and then delete the virtual card and avoid more charges. More of a Capital One feature rather than Venture X, but it's something I haven't seen at any other card issuers I've used.

Depends on the person & what they want / value. If you'd use enough of the benefits to more than justify the annual fee, then sure. If not...then no. I don't tell people to get cards because "Mark has a high opinion about it." I "think / feel" that the Hilton Honors Aspire card is currently the best hotel card on the planet... ...but I don't have it. In fact, I used to have 2, and I canceled both because they no longer fit my travel habits or lifestyle. Get the cards that give you want you want & help you achieve your goals. Avoid the ones that don't.

This is where the appeal of the Citi Premier comes in, 3x on a lot of categories in or outside the US.

Virtual Card Numbers from Capital One are basically pointless. Since you cannot track what purchases were made by what or any virtual card in hindsight you will never be able to know if your actual card number or just your virtual card number was compromised in case of fraudulent transactions. Very disappointing. Citi is far superior in this area.

Everyone is pushing this card hard. I fell for it and got the card. We have excellent credit and pay all cards in full at the end of month. In any case, booked my first travel through Capital One Travel. The booking went smoothly. What didn't go smoothly is my return flight from Turkey to US. They messed up my reservation apparently but refused to take blame. I had to sit on the call with them for over 8 hours and with 7 reps because their phones kept getting disconnected. Finally I got a refund on the return half of the flight that came nowhere near covering what I had to pay to get back home. We're paying off the final balance and closing the account. Trust me, their customer service is set up to avoid taking any loses. They will pass the bill onto you for any mistakes that they make.

It should, but I can't confirm 100%. I recommend asking Capital One directly. That said, I don't usually recommend spending "exactly the amount required" for any welcome offer. Personally, I almost always spend over what's required in case I end up returning a purchase, if I miscounted how much I spent, etc.

Question let’s say for some reason you didn’t travel that year, What else can you do to eliminate the annual fee? The one thing I like about the platinum card by Amex if you don’t travel that’s ok you got other credits you can do to cover your annual fee but capital one does not have it and that’s what holding me back on getting the card, I don’t travel every year but I occasionally do it just not every year

Unofficially, you may be able to book a refundable flight / hotel via the Capital One Travel portal, wait to get the $300 credit, cancel that reservation, and still keep the credit. I experienced this with one of my bookings. I wouldn't count on it working all the time or in the future, but it could be an option worth trying. That said, for someone who doesn't travel every year, I'd probably avoid keeping the card.

Two questions: 1. Do you still get 10x/5x points for a portal booking if it’s one that gets credited back? Or is it like Chase where credit-eligible bookings are exempt from the bonus? 2. Does Hertz still recognize your status if you book with them through the portal? Or is it akin to hotels where they won’t recognize it?
@MarkReese
Жыл бұрын
1. For the 10X/5X rewards, yes. For the example in the video where I had a $928.24 hotel charge via the C1 portal, I received the $300 credit and also earned 10X (i.e. 9,282 miles) 2. I cannot confirm from personal experience about getting the Hertz President's Circle benefits while also booking via the C1 portal. Apparently it works, however.
