Capital One VentureOne Rewards Credit Card Review

Highlights

• 1.25x miles on all purchases: If you prefer to put all your spending on one card, earning the equivalent of 1.25% back on all purchases is pretty decent.
• Easy points redemption: After paying for travel purchases with this card, you can redeem miles to offset those eligible travel charges directly.
• No foreign transaction fee: Most cards with no foreign transaction fee come with an annual fee, so it’s nice that this card has no annual fee. See also: Introduction to Foreign Transaction Fees

Cons

• No other bonus earning categories

Capital One Points Overview

• Point Value: Average value is 1.2c/p, so 100 points = $1.2 (Point Values & Analysis)
• Redeem Directly: Redeem at 1c/p toward travel purchases or various gift cards; cash out directly at 0.5c/p
• Transfer Partners: Transfer 1:1 to Air Canada miles (good for US-China flights and infant tickets), British Airways (short nonstop flights, Avianca miles (good for US-China business class, ANA and Asiana US-China first class, and no YQ on award tickets), Qantas Airways miles (good for domestic US nonstop flights and flights from the US East Coast to Western Europe), TAP Portugal Miles&Go, Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles, Flying Blue, Club Premier, Asia Miles, Etihad Guest, Finnair Plus, Wyndham, and Choice. Transfer times range from instant to several days.
• Points Feature: You can pool all of your Capital One points into one account and use them together.
• My Take: Capital One has fewer transfer partners, so compared with some other programs it is a bit less flexible and valuable. The more useful partners are AC and Avianca. Redeeming points for travel at 1c/p is also a solid option, and you can still earn miles, which makes it much easier than transferring points for award tickets.

My Take

The welcome bonus is worth $400, it earns 1.25x on everyday spending, and it has no annual fee, so it’s a card you can keep for the long term. Now that it has transfer partners, it can also work as a long-term miles-earning card. Still, it would be even better if its transfer partners were stronger. Compared with the annual-fee version, the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card, this card has a much smaller welcome bonus and lower everyday earning. So a better strategy may be to apply for the annual-fee version first, then downgrade to this card in the second year.
