If I’m someone who is traveling for work a lot, can I still book my hotel stay through the app and use my discount promotion codes? Also if not is there anyway to maximize how much % I get back if I do not book through their hotel app but still paying for the hotel? Thank you!
Hey Daniel! You'll be able to apply your points to any charges on your statement that code as travel. The charges just need to be within the last 90 days to be eligible.
First of all, happy Easter to you and your family. Sunday, March 31st good morning, 11:08 AM. Question, please wait for my statement. And then I could pay my credit card. It could help me my credit score. Let me know please first time with a credit card. I'm still learning. Capital, one quick silver, 1.5 cash back
Both are great cards. I chose the Venture because I have the AMEX trifecta and simply just wanted a good backup card when AMEX isn’t accepted. I went with the Venture because I don’t want to book travel thru their portal and instead book directly with my Platinum so the $300 credit has no benefit to me. You can’t go wrong with either card in my opinion
I’ve had the quick silver for 7+ years and got the venture x as my 2nd care in September. Do you think I’ll be approved to get the regular venture card in February? Looking to get a signup bonus 🤑🤑🤑
First of all, I like where your head is at! These sign up bonuses are NICE! People have certainly gotten both the Venture AND the Venture X sign up bonuses... I can't really comment on whether you'd be approved or not... but the general rule of thumb for Cap1 is to wait 6 months between card applications. I'd certainly be interested to hear how it works out for you though!
If I have Wf active cash and csp would you get flex / unlimited or venture? Reason I ask I have a large expense coming and I'll hit that 4k for 75k bonus or do the others and transfer points
@@joshua.butler yes I travel 1 to 2 times a year sometimes 3. I was thinking of getting the 75k bonus then downgrading to the venture one next year. The miles don't expire. I was thinking of saving the points
I have had a capital one platnium for years but want to.apply for the venture x. Will i still get the 75k miles as a new customer or will i we considered as an excisting customer and i wouldnt get it. Anyone who knows can please answer me.
@@joshua.butler i just applied for the venture x and got approved but seems i didnr get the 75k bonus miles. Im thinking of canclling the card because it doesnt make economic sense to pay the annual fee and not get the 75k miles. What do you advice i do?
@@joshua.butler i called already and she said until i spend the 4k within 3months only then if i qualify i will see the 75k miles. My sister said she saw a tracker for the 75k miles right away on her app. But i dont see it on mine. They just merged my 2 accounts .the venture x and platnuim. Dont know if they consider me an excisting customer and didnt apply it for me. I have tix to buy and dont want to spend the 4k then finding out i didnt get the 75k miles. Im thinking of cancelling. Dont know what the implication will be if i do
@@adannaya1 I am reading that some people see the tracker and some people don't. It's possible that it just hasn't showed up yet for you as it seems like it may take a few days to a week, or it may only show up after you use the card for the first time. It's odd to me that the rep couldn't confirm which sign-up bonus is tied to your card. I'd personally call back and talk to a different rep to confirm.
Remember Gen Z...Credit Cards ARE LOANED MONEY YOU MUST PAY BACK & NOTHING in life is free. Especially a credit card (that you pay for) tells you it is. Stay debt free
@@joshua.butler thanks Joshua! So the best route to redeem would be to book anything travel related to the card.. then redeem the points after to cover purchases? Vs booking the travel/flights with the already earned points through the travel portal?
Yes, as long as you qualify of course. Just be mindful that you'll be forfeiting the Venture X sign up bonus by upgrading rather than opening a new card.
@Everything Is Satisfryan Based on my research, you SHOULD be able to get both SUBs (I can't guarantee this, however). Be mindful that Capital One typically will only approve you for one card every 6 months.
@Everything Is Satisfryan and another important note. You technically wouldn't be getting it twice. While they're currently the same, they are two different sign up bonuses. Capital One typically doesn't let people get more than one sign up bonus per card.
Not to be Petty but I don't see venture X as a -$5 a year card, you don't get the bonus miles until you're anniversary, which also means you've paid a second annual fee by then
@@joshua.butler I'm still thinking about it. I have the venture one, quicksilver, and savor one. I want to have a plan for the card before I apply because right now flights go on my Amex gold and hotels go on my altitude connect. Only thing I don't like about venture X is it forces you to use the portal. I book southwest a lot, which I can't book in the portal, and I book a hotel through the portal I won't get hotel points.
Question for the welcome points: If I buy something via my venture x card (example, a $4000 sofa from Costco) and get 75k points and end up returning that item after 1 year, what would happen to those welome bonus 75k points?
That's a good question. There's a decent chance nothing would happen to the sign up bonus, but IMO it's not worth the risk. There's potential for them to rescind the offer, close your account and/or blacklist you.
Get the Capital One Venture X here 👉 joshuabutler.cards/Cap1-VX
Very thorough! I watched a few other videos on this topic, but this was the best one
Thanks Anthony!
Great video! New to the channel. I have been to the capital one lounge in Dallas (twice). Worth a visit!
Thank you 😍 That's awesome. One day I'll get out there!
I got the standard venture because I couldn’t afford the venture x a few months ago. I’ll upgrade next year once I save up a little more.
The standard venture still provides a nice value! Thanks for watching ☺
I loved how customs and border protection was interviewing that guy at 5:12
🤣
@joshua.butler Used your link to apply for a Venture X card over the weekend. Thank you for your videos.
I really appreciate the support. Congrats on the new card! I’ve been very happy with it over the past year.
If I’m someone who is traveling for work a lot, can I still book my hotel stay through the app and use my discount promotion codes? Also if not is there anyway to maximize how much % I get back if I do not book through their hotel app but still paying for the hotel? Thank you!
Does it make sense to carry both?
No
Nice video! How do you use your points to pay off previous bookings on venture X for better redemption?

If I use the Venture X card to pay my bills, is that considered a purchase so I can earn the points?
Yeah, for sure!

Great question! Holding the platinum wouldn't disqualify you from getting the Venture X bonus.

I’d definitely call their customer service line to check on the welcome bonus. Here is their number: (1-800-227-4825)

Yes!!! Debt free is the way to be!
Any idea what their definition of “recent” travel purchases is? For example, how soon after a travel purchase would you then have to apply the points?
@@joshua.butler cool thanks!
@@joshua.butler how does capitol one recognize it as “travel purchases”?
@@joshua.butler thanks Joshua! So the best route to redeem would be to book anything travel related to the card.. then redeem the points after to cover purchases? Vs booking the travel/flights with the already earned points through the travel portal?
@@PhelpsLife exactly this
Can you upgrade the venture to a venture X?
Yes, as long as you qualify of course. Just be mindful that you'll be forfeiting the Venture X sign up bonus by upgrading rather than opening a new card.
@@joshua.butler didn’t thought about that thanks

You don't get 10000 miles in the first year, you get 75000 miles with a $395 annual fee! From 2nd year, you get 10000 miles with annual fee.
Yeah the 1st yr is $95. Then the second yr is free. Too easy
Just got the Venture and used the first of 2 credits at the Capital One Lounge at DFW. Awesome! Upgrading to the Venture X as soon as it is offered.

Thanks a lot. I thought it was Mastercard. But now that I know is fine… no way.
