Why You Might Want This Card

Limp Sign Up Bonus

It's hard to get excited about this card. The welcome bonus is limp at 20,000 points, but what can you expect from a no-fee card with a minimum bonus spend of just $1,000? You'll earn 1.25x miles on every purchase, which is actually less than the average 1.5x earning that comes on other competitor cards. Rewards don’t expire and you get 0% APR for the first 12 months. All this with no annual fee and no foreign transaction fees. It’s an attractive option if you want a travel card, but are just getting started in collecting points. There aren’t a ton of perks with the VentureOne, but you do get essential ones that protect you -- security and account alerts via text, email and phone. Plus apps and digital services, so you can manage your account anywhere, anytime. The Capital One VentureOne card is one of those cards that you can utilize for travel wherever and whenever you want. There are 3 ways to redeem: You can use your miles toward the purchase eraser to simply eliminate your travel charges. You can transfer miles to 12+ travel partners. Or you can book travel through the Capital One portal. It should be mentioned that you get the best redemption value by booking travel. If you cash out your miles, you'll lose a lot.

Bottom Line

The 20,000 sign-up bonus points makes this card a let down. But that's why you get for no annual fee and a minimum spend of $1,000. This card is hardly worth considering, unless you just want to get your feet wet in collecting travel points -- with no upfront commitment.

Application Rules

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