Capital One Venture X

Move over Chase, there's a new credit card on the scene that you should definitely look in to! Capital One Venture X card has a magnificently high 100k point sign-up bonus, and combined with other great perks, it has quickly become our favorite credit card for reward travel. If you are ready for another flight, time to apply.

The biggest perk of the new Capital One Venture X is its insanely high welcome bonus. Spend $10,000 in the first 6 months on the card, and you will get a whopping 100k points. Even better, you will actually net 120k points because you will also get 2 points per dollar for that $10,000 you just spent. 120,000k can get you very, very far in the world of points; for example roundtrip airfare to Europe or Japan in Business Class! 

This card does come with an initially daunting $395 annual fee, but the perks will cover that price (and more!), so don't worry.

​Card Perks

With this card, you will get:

• $300 annually to spend on travel (book a flight, hotel, car, etc and your card will refund you $300 of it). (We used ours recently to stay at the luxurious JW Marriott in Bucharest).
• $200 in Airbnb or VRBO credit (We plan to use this on our summer trip to Tunisia for a beach rental).
• $100 towards Global Entry or TSA PreCheck Status
• Hertz President's Circle membership status, which gets you a guaranteed car class upgrade every time you rent! (This came in handy recently on our winter holiday in Dubai, as all the cars were completely gone and many customers were frustrated, but not us because they had ours reserved on the side!)
• Automatic car rental insurance coverage (so you can save money by denying it when renting)
• Priority Pass membership for you and two guests (Free lounge access at 1300 airports worldwide).
• Add up to 4 authorized users for free (who will also get Priority Pass access for them and guests)

• 10,000k bonus points annually on your anniversary (worth about $100)

​Besides the killer sign up bonus and all the perks above, you will also enjoy 10X points on hotel and rental cars, 5X points flights, 2X points on all other purchases.

​You should definitely take advantage of this offer and apply now! See you on the next flight out with a bed in the sky!
