My Thoughts on Capital One Venture X
I’m very excited about this new card, and I hope I get approved next week. Capital One miles have become more useful since adding transfer partners. I would use these miles to transfer to Air France Flying Blue program for my family’s flights to Europe.
Aside from transfer partners, these miles are useful for booking hotels that aren’t in a loyalty program. You can erase purchases coded as travel with your miles. In the past, I’ve used Capital One miles to stay at Great Wolf Lodge.
The annual fee is a bit steep, but those statement credits make it a wash. I already have an airbnb booking for next year, so it would be easy to use that credit.
Unfortunately, Capital One is known to be a bit picky when it comes to approvals. Capital One allows you to have two of their personal cards, but will only approve you for one new card every six months. The bank is very sensitive to recent inquiries.
I’m not sure if this card will be in our affiliate links or not. I’ll update next week along with the results of my application.
Readers, are you interested in this new Capital One Venture X card?

Definitely interested! However both my husband and I were approved for the venture cards on September 1 so we wouldn’t be eligible until March 1? Do we know how long this offer will last? Sure sounds good! Hopefully you’ll be approved:)
@Tammie I’m not sure how long the 100k offer will last. Hopefully for a while! I’m really crossing my fingers I will be approved.
