If you’re still earning just 1 point or mile per dollar on your everyday spending, you’re leaving real value on the table — and missing out on one of the easiest ways to rack up rewards.
Carrying the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card is one of the simplest ways you can earn more miles, and right now you can earn 75,000 bonus miles after you spend $4,000 in the first three months from account opening, plus a $250 Capital One Travel credit valid for your first cardholder year.
That’s worth up to $1,000 in travel when redeemed through Capital One Travel, or potentially more when you transfer those miles to one of Capital One’s many hotel and airline partners — not bad at all for a card with a $95 annual fee.
With those 75,000 miles alone, you could book:
Flights to the U.K. via Virgin Atlantic Flying Club starting at just 6,000 points each way for economy or 29,000 points each way for lie-flat business class (plus taxes and fees)
Domestic flights to anywhere in the U.S. via Finnair Plus for just 11,000 Avios each way for economy
… to name just a couple of options.
And that sweet, easy-to-use $250 credit can cover all sorts of travel, giving you lots of great options.
What I love about this card is its simplicity. Most cards only earn 1 point or mile per dollar spent on nonbonus purchases. The Venture earns 2 miles per dollar spent on everything, which means you’re doubling your rewards on all that everyday spending, without worrying about rotating categories or bonus limits.
