Capital One Venture Rewards

The Venture Rewards card has a new, elevated offer! (as of 9/8/26)(

Spend $4k in 3 months and earn 75k points & receive a $300 Travel Credit to use in the Capital One Travel Portal.


  • Annual Fee: $95
  • 2x on ALL purchases
  • $120 TSA Precheck on Global Entry credit
Capital One miles can be transferred out to a variety of airline partners, but you can also use them to cover travel purchases made on your card (at a redemption rate of one cent per mile). This is perfect for cruises, vacation rentals, and other travel expenses that are more challenging to redeem points for. This is how we use our Capital One miles as of late. While this isn't the best value possible, it helps us to keep our out-of-pocket costs down with so much travel, and ultimately, some of it is not eligible for typical point redemptions.

The Capital One Venture card earns a flat 2x miles on every purchase. You'll also earn 5x miles per dollar spent on hotels, vacation rentals, and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel.
Remember that Capital One recently changed its card rules so that you are not eligible for a bonus on this card for 48 months if you open a Venture X card first, so if you really want to maximize your Capital One point earnings, you'll want to grab the Venture card BEFORE the Venture X. This card does take a 5/24 spot!

Getting Started -- The Basics

The Basics of Travel Hacking: How to Travel the World Using Credit Card Points What if we told you that you could take your family on incredible vacations—flights, hotels, and even experiences—for a fraction of the cost? That’s exactly what travel hacking is all about! By strategically earning and redeeming credit card points, you can turn everyday spending into free (or nearly free) travel. Welcome to the world of travel hacking! Our Journey Two years ago, I ran across a Facebook post where a local mom was sharing about travel hacking. I was intrigued. Travel has always been a dream of mine. Since getting married, my husband and I, have prioritized getting away at least once every two years or so, but it just wasn't enough for me. I wanted to travel with our kids. Experiences over stuff, right? But let's be honest. Experiences, at least those with air travel, can be very expensive for a family of 4.  Back to the post -- I followed her recommendation and started reading. I stay...

Promotional Companion Pass

  What Is the Companion Pass? The Companion Pass  allows you to bring one person with you  for free, excluding  taxes and fees  ($5.60 each way in the U.S.). You can change your companion up to three times a year. It works on flights booked with cash, points, or credits. Once you qualify, the pass is  valid for the remainder of that year  and the entire following  year. For my family of four, it’s the best perk out there. When my husband and I both hold Companion Passes, our kids fly free. Or he and I can take trips without the kids and only need to buy one flight! We’ve saved thousands this way (both in points and cash). Current Promo There is more than one way to earn a Companion Pass. There is the traditional way , where you are required to earn 135,000 Rapid Rewards points in a calendar year. Southwest also offers a promotional Companion Pass, where you can earn CP with just one card and one signup bonus. With each of the 3 personal cards, you...

Southwest Companion Pass

  Earning the Southwest Companion Pass At first, the Southwest Companion Pass sounded impossible — buy one ticket and your companion flies free, every time? But it’s real, and it’s changed everything for our family. We’ve flown to Hawaii (twice!), explored Grand Cayman together, slipped away to Mexico more times than I can count, and booked several spontaneous weekend trips. Even with Southwest rolling out changes, it’s still the best perk in the sky. What Is the Companion Pass?
