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.

Capital One has joined the list of issuers offering eligible cardholders the chance to purchase FIFA World Cup tickets. They're not always easy (or cheap) to snag, but FIFA has reserved a special selection for qualifying cardholders through a partnership with Visa.
NerdWallet's ratings are determined by our editorial team. The scoring formula takes into account the type of card being reviewed (such as cash back, travel or balance transfer) and the card's rates, fees, rewards and other features.
Starting Feb. 12, 2026, holders of the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card will have exclusive access to buy up to four tickets across all U.S. host cities. Tickets are available through Feb. 24, 2026, while supplies last.
You’ll have to visit Capital One’s website to enter your Venture X card number and verify that it's eligible. After the verification, you’ll be directed to a ticketing platform page to purchase tickets.
Miles cannot be redeemed for tickets, but you can earn 2 miles per dollar spent when you buy them.
🤓Nerdy Tip
You must have a FIFA ID to buy World Cup tickets, so if you don't already have one, best to go ahead and set it up before the promotion opens to avoid delays. You can do this via the FIFA ticketing site.
Before the big purchase, strategize how you’ll make the most of the card to get more value. If you're a new cardholder, you'll get a lot more upfront, as the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card has a welcome offer that'll be easier to meet with a large purchase: Earn 75,000 bonus miles when you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening, equal to $750 in travel. The card has a $395 annual fee.
The Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card also packs plenty of other incentives that can help offset travel-related costs for the big game, including:
5 miles per dollar on flights and vacation rentals booked through Capital One Travel.
10 miles per dollar on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel.
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.
Whether you want to pay less interest or earn more rewards, the right card's out there. Just answer a few questions and we'll narrow the search for you.
