How to use it well
- At $95 for flat 2x, it beats most 1.5% cash-back cards if you ever redeem miles for travel or transfer them.
- If you fly enough to use lounges, compare the Venture X: the extra $300 in fee is largely offset by its travel credit.
- There is a current transfer bonus from Capital One Miles to Virgin Atlantic and to Flying Blue. See the transfers page for deadlines.
