We believe everyone should be able to make financial decisions with
confidence. While we don't cover every company or financial product on
the market, we work hard to share a wide range of offers and objective
editorial perspectives.
So how do we make money? Our partners compensate us for advertisements that
appear on our site. This compensation helps us provide tools and services -
like free credit score access and monitoring. With the exception of
mortgage, home equity and other home-lending products or services, partner
compensation is one of several factors that may affect which products we
highlight and where they appear on our site. Other factors include your
credit profile, product availability and proprietary website methodologies.
However, these factors do not influence our editors' opinions or ratings, which are based on independent research and analysis. Our partners cannot
pay us to guarantee favorable reviews. Here is a list of our partners.

The limited-time offer described in this article ended in January 2026, so this page is out of date. See our review of the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card for the current offer.
The Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card is beefing up its welcome offer for new cardholders just in time for new year's travel resolutions. If your budget is in line with the high spending requirement, the latest offer can provide a lot of value toward your next trip.
Here’s what to expect.
The new sign-up offer
New cardholders are eligible to earn this sign-up offer: Earn 100,000 bonus miles once you spend $10,000 on purchases in the first 6 months from account opening - equal to $1,000 in travel.
This is significantly higher than the previous bonus: 75,000 bonus miles when you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening, equal to $750 in travel. You’ll have to spend more than double the amount to earn it, but you’ll have twice as much time to do so.
Miles can be redeemed for statement credit against travel purchases, for travel bookings through Capital One, as transfers to airline or hotel partners, and for gift cards, to name a few options. Each mile is worth 1 cent apiece when redeemed for statement credit or bookings through Capital One, and potentially more when you transfer and redeem them through partners. In short, the bonus could cover a sizable chunk of your vacation costs.
Aside from the new bonus, the card offers ongoing perks and rewards that can help offset the cost of the $395 annual fee.
Ongoing rewards
2 miles per $1 spent on purchases.
5 miles per $1 spent on flights and vacation rentals booked through Capital One Travel.
10 miles per $1 on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel.
Perks
Up to $300 annual credit for bookings made through Capital One Travel.
10,000 bonus miles every account anniversary (equal to $100 toward travel).
Unlimited access to Capital One Lounges and more than 1,300 lounges through the Capital One Partner Network.
Complimentary Hertz President’s Circle status. (Car upgrades, expedited pickup and more.)
Extra perks when you book a hotel stay through Capital One's Premier Collection, like a $100 experience credit, daily breakfast for two people and complimentary WiFi.
Cell phone protection, shopping protections and travel protections.*
For Capital One products listed on this page, some of the benefits may be provided by Visa® or Mastercard® and may vary by product. See the respective Guide to Benefits for details, as terms and exclusions apply.
