Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card Offer
Pam
The latest card_name welcome offer is worth considering if you’ve been thinking about getting this card. With this limited-time welcome offer, you’ll earn 75,000 Venture miles after spending $4,000 in the first three months, plus a one-time $250 travel credit when you book travel through Capital One Travel. This travel credit is valid for one year from when you’re approved for the card.
There is also an offer for 100,000 Venture Miles through referral links if you prefer that offer.
For Capital One products listed on this page, some of the benefits may be provided by Visa® or Mastercard® and may vary by product. See the respective Guide to Benefits for details, as terms and exclusions apply.
How I’ve Used Capital One Venture Miles
Capital One has amazing travel partners. Here are some of the airline programs I’ve transferred my Venture miles to:
Flying Blue (AirFrance/KLM)
This is one of the main programs I use to fly to Europe. It is not uncommon to find business-class flights for 60K miles and economy from 20K miles, especially with Flying Blue Promo Rewards. I often transfer Capital One Venture Miles to Flying Blue to fly to Europe.
Getting this card can make a trip to Amsterdam a reality.
Air Canada Aeroplan and Avianca LifeMiles
Both of these airlines are transfer partners, and I have used each for flights to Europe. Whether you want to travel to London or Croatia (both trips I’ve done with these transfer partners), this card can be a major help.
One of my many trips to London.
Emirates Airlines and British Airlines
My husband and I flew Emirates business class from JFK to Milan in business class. We transferred Capital One Venture miles to make this happen. Emirates business class is one of my favorite rides! On our flight home, we flew British Airways from London to Denver, all thanks to our stash of Venture miles. (We love our Venture miles; we’ve both applied for every card, including the business cards!)
Emirates business class is one of my favorite ways to travel.
Singapore Airlines
One of my favorite airlines is Singapore Airlines—their service cannot be matched, in my opinion. I have flown economy, premium economy, business class, and first class with them to Asia and Europe.
Flying Singapore Suites was a dream come true.
Other Airline Partners That I’ve Used
- Etihad Airlines
- Turkish Airlines
Using the $250 Travel Credit
The $250 travel credit can be used to book a boutique hotel that you can’t use other points or miles for, a rental car, an inexpensive domestic flight, or many other things. We used a credit for our flights from Tahiti to Bora Bora once. The only caution that I have is to make sure your booking is refundable. I once booked a hotel on the Capital One site, and my plans changed. It was nonrefundable, and I lost the credit 😩. Read the terms before you book!
We flew to this resort using credits from a Capital One card.
What You Should Know About Capital One Approvals
Capital One is not the easiest card issuer to get approvals from. You can have excellent credit and still get denied. They don’t have a reconsideration option, either. I say that they are just quirky with approvals. It often helps to get their cards early in your points and miles journey, but they will also take up a valued 5/24 spot, so that’s a tradeoff to consider.
It took me three tries to get approved for one of their cards, yet my husband (with the exact amount of cards and credit score) was approved immediately. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get approved the first time.
Bottom Line
The current card_name welcome offer is worth looking at. I have used these rewards many times for international travel. The addition of the $250 credit you can redeem in their portal makes it even more compelling. The fact that they also have the 100K offer available through referrals gives you more options, so choose which offer makes the most sense for you. You’ll have access to a bunch of great travel partners to transfer those miles to, and they can take you almost anywhere!

Do you have to keep this card more than one year? I know you’re supposed to wait usually until 1 year and the fee posts but C1 doesn’t return your fee. So do you need to cancel or downgrade in year 2 or is at 11.75 months safe?
There seems to be mixed results with this. We are hearing form people that get it returned after it is posted and a few that have written on the FB Group that they haven’t. The Travel Freely app now says this: Special note on timing: If you want to downgrade the card, it’s best to call before your annual fee posts to your account. Downgrade options may be available in your account online. Your odds of downgrading seem to go down if the annual fee has been posted. Even if you can downgrade, Capital One may not refund the annual fee if it has already been posted online. You still have the option to close the account and have your annual fee refunded.
I think that is what we will be suggesting from now on.
