Limited-time 100K-mile offer you don’t want to miss
by Brian Kelly
Hi everyone,
If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to travel more, how does 100,000 bonus miles to jump-start 2026 sound?
I’m devoting my first weekly newsletter of 2026 to the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card, as this fantastic limited-time offer on a card I love using ends Jan. 5.
Let’s get straight to the details …
The Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card is currently offering 100,000 bonus miles after you spend $10,000 within six months of account opening, but time is ticking as the offer ends in two days.
The Venture X stands out because it delivers real value without the usual premium-card coupon-book mentality. The $395 annual fee is competitive, the card earns a simple 2 miles per dollar spent on everything, and the lounge access alone can be a game changer (the new 24-hour Capital One Lounge at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport has already saved my family on a recent trip).
Now let’s look at the benefits …
You’ll get a $300 annual travel credit to use for booking on Capital One Travel and 10,000 miles each year on your card’s anniversary.
Capital One miles are flexible, too — you can transfer them to partners like Air France-KLM, Qatar Airways and Air Canada for great premium-cabin redemptions starting at 55,000 miles one-way, or just erase travel purchases at a straightforward rate of 1 cent per mile when you need simplicity.
Bottom line
This six-figure bonus on the Venture X is what we in the industry call a “no-brainer.” We haven’t seen an offer this high since 2021, and I don’t want you to miss out on this 100,000-point offer before it ends Jan. 5.
