If you’re like us and hate missing out on top offers, listen up.
This is your last chance to apply for the increased offer worth at least $1,000 in travel on the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card, as the offer is ending April 13.
The popular card has a budget-friendly annual fee of just $95 and is currently letting you earn 75,000 bonus miles after $4,000 in spending on purchases in the first three months, and a bonus $250 Capital One Travel credit to use in your first year as a cardholder.
That’s at least $1,000 in travel from a $95-per-year card if you keep things super simple and redeem the miles at a fixed rate of 1 cent per mile against travel charges you put on the card.
Or, you can potentially increase the value of the miles if you transfer them to one of Capital One’s 22 hotel and airline transfer partners, such as Air France-KLM or Air Canada, to book international lie-flat seats starting at around 60,000 miles each way (plus taxes and fees), just to name one option. You can sometimes find transfer bonuses that help you stretch those miles even further.
This brings the value of your miles to 1.85 cents each, according to TPG’s April 2026 valuations — which gives you up to $1,638 in total value from the bonus miles and travel credit.
Beyond this great bonus, you’ll earn at least 2 miles per dollar spent on purchases and get travel perks to potentially help you get through the airport faster, including a credit for TSA PreCheck or Global Entry once every four years — all for just that low $95 annual fee.
