Earn Up To 100,000 Miles On The Capital One Venture Card!

Signup bonus:

For a limited time only, you can earn 50,000 Capital One miles for opening this card and spending $3,000 in 3 months. You will get an additional 50,000 miles for spending another $17,000 in 12 months.

As you earn 2 miles per dollar everywhere, that’s a potential 140,000 miles for spending $20,000 in a year. 140K miles can be used for $1,400 of travel, dining, or gift cards. Or it can be transferred into 105K airline miles.

The previous signup bonus offers on this card were 50K or 60K miles for spending $3,000 in 3 months.

Note that Capital One pulls and reports to all 3 of your credit reports. Capital One typically awards signup points even if you have the card in the past. It can be difficult to get approved for more than 1 Capital One card every 6 months.


Annual fee: 

There is a $95 annual fee for the primary card and no annual fee for additional cardholders.


Card earnings: 

  • 2 miles per dollar everywhere.
  • There are no foreign transaction fees.

Spend Threshold:

You’ll need to spend $3,000 on this card within 3 months for 50K miles or $20K in a year ($1,667/month) for 100K miles.

You can pay your federal taxes for a 1.96% fee. If you overpay your taxes you can request a refund or apply it to your next year’s taxes.

My local natural gas company allows me to prepay up to $1,000 on a credit card for a $1.65 flat fee. That’s a great way to earn miles and help meet a spend threshold. My electricity supplier allows me to pay with a credit card for free as long as I am enrolled in autopay.


Card benefits:

  • Rental car CDW insurance
  • Extended warranty
  • Lost Luggage Insurance
  • Travel Accident Insurance
  • Purchase protection for items damaged or stolen within 90 days

Use points for travel:

You can redeem your points to pay yourself back for any travel related expenses (airfare, hotels, car rentals, cruises, ride sharing, etc) or book new travel at a value of 1 cent per point.


Use points for gift cards:

You can redeem your points to buy gift cards to stores like Amazon at a value of 1 cent per point.


Global Entry/TSA Pre-Check Credit:

You can get reimbursed for Global Entry/Pre-Check Membership fees ($85 for Pre-Check or $100 for Global Entry and Pre-Check) every 4 years. Membership lasts for 5 years, so you will be able to renew before your membership lapses. Global Entry/Pre-Check make flying so much easier. I got Global Entry and Pre-Check for free for my entire family via credit cards that offer free membership!


Capital One Lounges:

Capital One airport lounges will launch later this year with its first lounge in Dallas/DFW this summer and lounges in Denver/DEN and Washington/IAD to open next year. It’s unclear what lounge entry requirements will entail.

Lounges will feature local beers, craft cocktails, exercise rooms, nursing rooms, kids rooms, soundproof relaxation rooms, secure lockers, prayer rooms, and shower suites!


Airline and hotel transfer partners:

You can transfer points from Capital One into these programs at the following ratios:

  • Accor Hotels (2:1)
  • Aeromexico (1:1, SkyTeam) Currently 1:1.2 through 8/8
  • Air Canada Aeroplan (2:1.5, Star Alliance)
  • Air France/KLM Flying Blue (2:1.5, SkyTeam)

By transferring points to Accor, you can also transfer points to the following airlines via Accor at an effective 2:1 ratio:

  • Iberia (Which can also be transferred to British Airways)
  • Virgin Australia

You can also combine points between Capital One miles cards and you can transfer miles to any Capital One cardholder!

    • RL

      Probably because you have a number of bank cards tradelines opened in the last 24 months

  2. A

    can i get a venture if I already have a downgraded one from last year?

  3. Harry

    How likely are they to approve a LLC just a few months old?

    • PM

  4. BT

    Any idea when the Spark 300k will come back?

  5. AllenM

    any guesstimate as to how long this promo will be available?

  6. RL

    Ohhh I just missed the 100,000 bonus, I just signed up 11 March 2021, is there anyway to get an exception for the 100,000 bonus?? anyone chime in thank you.

  7. AR

    I currently have Capital One Venture yet received last bonus sometime in 2019. Can I apply for a second Capital One Venture or do I first have to downgrade my existing card? If I am indeed advised to downgrade existing card, how long should I wait before applying for this deal? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

  8. Nate

    Instant approval via your link. Thank you Dan.

  9. sl

    hi. I’m not seeing the option of ” and you can transfer miles to any Capital One cardholder! ”
    how is this possible? is it only via phone or certain card products from them? please advise. thanks

  10. Confused

    So the 140,000 transfer to only 105k miles of any type?

    • Dan

      Depends on the transfer ratio for each airline or hotel. Can be anywhere from 70K-175K.

      • Confused

        Okay thought so. Just was unspecified in the post

  11. Sean

    Dan! You gave all the technical specs here, but can you share your thoughts overall, as you do on many other cards? I (we) would love to her. Thanks!!

    • Dan

      It’s a great card thanks to all the new transfer options and it’s a strong signup offer.

  12. Jew

    Got an approval with your link. Glad to support

  13. genius

    Any idea as to how long this offer will still be around?

  14. Denied

    Is there a reconsideration line?

  15. googwallet

    “You can redeem your points to buy gift cards to stores like Amazon at a value of 1 cent per point.” This is not the case for me. Mine shows 100 miles = $0.80 when redeeming for an Amazon Gift Card.

  16. BG

    Is there any way to transfer these points to United?

    • Dan

      No, but Star Alliance airlines can book travel on United, often at a fraction of their rates.

  17. Amy VINY

    Does this count against 5/24?

  18. Yochai

    Time to update the 29K flying blue to Israel 🙁

  19. A

    They share L3 data? Want to know if can buy visa gift cards at staples/OM

  20. 1991

    How does this compare to the current chase Sapphire offer?
    Which is more valuable?

    • Bentzi

      Chase Sapphire proffered definitely more valuable. The venture card also requires $16,000 extra spending to get the full bonus.
      But why not both?

  21. IM

    Signed up and instantly approved. Dan, how would you go about redeeming the points if you are trying to make flights between LA and NY?

  22. Thankful!

    Dan can you please repost the 40 best uses for the Capital One bonus points?
