Capital One Bank USA National Association issued the following announcement on Nov. 9

Capital One today launched Venture X, its new class of travel card. Venture X offers customers enhanced earn everywhere, with 2X miles on every purchase, plus enhanced earn on travel (10X on hotels and rental cars, and 5X on flights booked via Capital One Travel). The card comes with straightforward travel perks, including up to a $300 annual credit for bookings made on Capital One Travel, 10,000 bonus miles every account anniversary, unlimited access to Capital One Lounges and to more than 1,300 Priority Pass™ lounges worldwide, and so much more.

In addition to these best-in-class benefits, Venture X cardholders who sign up now can earn 100,000 bonus miles after spending $10,000 on purchases in the first six months and will also receive up to $200 in statement credits during their first cardholder year for vacation rentals like Airbnb, TurnKey, Vacasa and Vrbo. 

“Throughout the last year, we stayed closely connected to our customers and industry experts,” said Lauren Liss, managing vice president, Card at Capital One. “While the travel experience may look different for some people right now, it continues to be a passion point for many. Trips both near and far provide an opportunity to get away, connect, recharge, and explore. With this in mind, Capital One is continuing to find new ways to offer best-in-class travel products, like Venture X, and experiences that help people do what they love, wherever and whenever that may be.”

At a competitive $395 annual fee, Venture X offers the following product features and benefits:

Enhanced Earn

• Elevated rewards on all types of spending. Venture X cardholders earn unlimited double miles on all purchases (2X), enhanced earn on flights (5X), hotels and rental cars (10X) when booking via Capital One Travel.

Valuable, Limited-Time Offers

• 100,000 bonus miles after spending $10,000 on purchases within the first six months of an account opening.
• A limited-time statement credit of up to $200 for vacation rentals (e.g., Airbnb and Vrbo) during the first cardholder year.

Easy-to-Use, Premium Travel Perks

• Up to $300 back in statement credits each year for bookings made through Capital One Travel.

• Exclusive access to top-tier entertainment, sports and dining events across the country through the Capital One Experiences program.

Differentiated Flexibility, So You Can Travel When and How You Want

• Unlike many airline, hotel, or other travel rewards cards, Venture X offers multiple flexible ways to redeem rewards. Customers can use miles to book via Capital One Travel,  transfer miles to 15+ travel loyalty programs, or redeem rewards for any recent travel purchases, including vacation rentals, flights, hotels, rideshares, cruises, and more.

Rewarding You When You Share Venture X with Family and Friends

• Option to add additional cardholders to share your account and benefits at no extra cost.
• Primary cardholders can earn up to 100,000 miles per year for referring friends (up to four referrals per year; 25,000 miles awarded per referral). 

One of the hallmarks for Venture X customers is Capital One Travel. The new travel booking experience has innovative features like predictive pricing models and tools to ensure customers get the best offers available. Capital One Travel provides access to thousands of flights, hotels, and rental cars, along with features like free price-drop protection and 24/7 price alert technology. In the coming weeks, Capital One Travel will offer customers the option to freeze the price of a flight and return up to 14 days later to book it. 

In addition to Capital One Travel, Venture X cardholders can get unlimited access to Capital One Lounges. Capital One Lounges offer a modern space full of premium amenities that provide visitors with a best-in-class travel experience from the moment they step through the door. This includes an industry-leading food and beverage program focused on locally sourced ingredients, uniquely and sustainably packaged premium grab-and-go selections, and health and wellness amenities including a cycling and a yoga room, and relaxation rooms with eye covers, blankets and other luxury amenities to help you recharge away from the crowds.

“Venture X is the next step on our travel journey, building off of the flexible rewards offered through the Venture product suite to include enhanced earn on travel, along with a wide array of top-tier benefits and redemption options that help customers venture further,” Liss added. 

Like all Capital One credit cards, the new Venture X card has no minimums for rewards redemptions, no category caps, no blackout dates, no foreign transaction fees, and it comes with the same great digital benefits and features that have made Capital One an innovator in its industry.
