Why You Might Want This Card

Capital One's Best Personal Card

This card is just plain simple. Your points add up fast because you earn 2x points on everything you buy -- with no specific spending categories. Just buy, earn and repeat. When you're reserving hotel rooms, make sure to book through (Hotels.com/Venture) and earn 10x points. Something we tell our friends who have this card: before booking hotel stays, sign up for (Hotels.com Rewards Loyalty Program) then book through (Hotels.com/venture). You'll get 10x miles on your total, plus 10% back on each booking for being a Hotels.com member. Erase your travel expenses with the touch of a key. It's really that simple. Fly any airline, stay in any hotel, any day of any year. Or, if you prefer bargain hunting, you also have the option to transfer your points to one of 14 airline partners and play the points game. You can find just the right reward flight and squeeze a little more value out of your miles.

Check out our Capital One Miles page for more details on how to best use Capital One Points.

Bottom Line

Let's do a little math: 60,000 miles sign up bonus; no foreign fee; $85 TSA or $100 Global Entry application credit; 2x miles on every purchase; and 10x miles on hotels. It looks like you're coming out way ahead! Add in the secondary car rental insurance, extended warranty protection, and luggage and travel insurance -- it all adds up to a decent card. Is it your best option, however? There are more than a handful of Chase and Amex personal cards we'd recommend higher. Make sure you've really thought about other cards that might fit you better.

Application Rules

Your application will be declined if 5 new cards are reported on your personal credit report in the past 24 months
