Capital One Venture X - The #1 Credit Card of 2024?

In this video we are doing a Capital One Venture X review to see if the Venture X is really the best travel credit card of 2024. Many people talk about how great the Capital One Venture X card can be, but is the Venture X worth it for the $395 annual fee? We’ll go over everything you need to know about this popular travel credit card such as the welcome bonus, the credits, and other features that come with the Venture X.

Personally, I think Capital One has done a great job at creating one of the best credit cards for travel. They packed a lot of value into the Venture X credit card, so many people that travel a moderate amount will be able to easily justify the annual fee. The Capital One Venture X is also a great catch all card because it earns 2x miles per dollar on everything. Additionally, it can be used to earn 10x miles on hotels and car rentals and 5x miles on flights when booked through the Capital One Travel Portal. This travel portal has a really nice price matching feature, so you should be able to get the best prices no matter what.

The Venture X also gives unlimited access to Capital One Lounges for you and up to 2 guests. Other airport lounge access on the this card includes Priority Pass Lounges and Plaza Premium Lounges as well.

Overall, the Capital One Venture X is a great card for the price you pay. The value from the $300 annual travel credit and the 10,000 mile anniversary bonus will easily offset the $395 annual fee each year. On top of that, the 75,000 mile welcome bonus and other features make this card worth it for many people. However, if you’re not a traveler or you prefer cash back instead, then the Venture X might not be a great fit for you.

The 2X catch all aspect of the luxury card is way underrated. This is an amazing card regardless of how many people try to pick it apart.

For those wanting to apply but unsure if they’ll get approved: I have 752 credit score, only Chase Cards, and applied off the hip after watching this video- and I got instantly approved. My card came in yesterday. Other people have different stories but this is my experience.

[MikeMaye]

I was lucky to snag this card last month with the 90k bonus offer. The 2x on everything else makes it a good addition as a catch all card. So far its definitely a card I'll keep in my wallet and I can see myself having for a while...Great vid Daniel💥

This was my fourth credit card out of five and it’s hands down my favorite.

The Venture X is a card that I don't see myself canceling with how easy it is to get positive value from with even just one trip a year through their portal, but at the same time, I don't think it's as premium as people make it out to be. It's a great middle ground between cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred and a true premium card like the Amex Platinum which puts it in a category of its own, and that's good and bad in some ways. Definitely still a powerful card as it sits right now though! Great video as always brotha 👊🏼

Side note: The Hertz Presidents Circle status has been one of the most underrated benefits of this card for my personal use. It's been amazing!

Please do a video on your 2-player strategy! I've been trying to convince my girlfriend to move on from her beginner credit card she got since college, and since I've personally only got three cards we're basically a blank slate for an optimal strategy

[alanhernandez]

We can keep picking this card apart but no card is perfect. It comes down to personal preference to be honest. This card is still one i will be applying for and combing it with my Amex gold card.

Great video Daniel. I struggle with this card, I see the value in it, but Capital One needs to work on their customer service.

If you don't mind travel portals, and don't care about hotel status, the Venture X is a great card. My wife and I travel about once or twice a year domestically (internationally every couple years), plus buying travel for her family. None of us care about status or a particular hotel chain, so the portal works great for us.

If status matters to you, or you only stay at a certain hotel chain or fly a certain airline, or you don't like portals, the VX might not be the card for you.

Great video Daniel. Thanks. My wife was recently approved and I am an authorized user. After watching your video I realize there are more benefits then I thought such as a lot of transfer partners to yield better points value. Also the price match option on the Capital One Portal.

[yurig]

Since Cap1 replaced $300 credit with $300 portal discount, I will be downgrading this card to Venture One or Venture. I do have Savor One too.

[druiz]

C1 was really smart giving 2x on everything. Since this is my catch all card I will probably never get rid of this card. Also that I visit their awesome lounges 2-4 times a year doesn't hurt either.

[sjg]

Happy Holidays Dan. Thanks for the detailed review of the Venture X. Good work!

[akanda_omo]

P2 was not getting pre-approved for any C1 card for the longest time. Three months after I added her as an authorized user on my Venture X card, she was approved for her own personal Venture X card.
I would also suggest indicating that you often carry a balance when applying for any C1 card.

[JojoBeens]

If you spend more than $400 per year on travel (flights, shuttle, etc) it is more than worth it. And all the other perks are cherries on top that you may want to use at some point. Capital One price match is simple and makes the $300 credit very easy.

[MattWelterOfficial]

Similar to you, I'm actually hoping to add the Venture X to my 2 Player Setup as well. Actually having my wife Lucia apply for the Card this weekend in hopes of getting approved due to flying out of DC twice next month (be able to utilize the new lounge) & also because I I love how simple & straightforward the Venture X is, if you are able to maximize the Travel Credit. Great video as always Daniel!

[zsjvjek]

I just looked it up. They brought back dining, spa, retail, gaming, and etc credits for priority pass users with venture x

[CallMeLani]

I still have my eye on this card but am still only 65% sold on it. This breakdown was great. We'll see!

[PhoMarket]

Thanks! I decided to get the card for the travel benefits after watching your video. Like you said, I was concern that I might get denied. So I gave the sign up the spouse trick you mentioned and Viola, instant approval even with a 750 score.

[ryanccc]

Great video. As they say mileage may vary. I travel 99% of the time with my family and value transferring 120k Chase points more for a Hyatt resort for a week then for a nicer round trip flight, that being said 100% of my Chase points go to Hyatt (I have gotten well over 4cpp on redemptions) and the VX is my PP airport lounge card that mostly sits in the sock drawer aside from the once a year use of the $300 credit because I book direct with hotels and airlines and not through portals. The VX transfer partners are not great from a hotel perspective and with their airline partners I would have to search for award flights and that does not allow for flexibility when traveling with family
