Capital One Venture X Promotion

🧀 This promotion may have ended/changed since this was posted; if what’s listed in our breakdown is different than what you see on the card website, that’s why. Their site will have the most uptodate nuts & bolts and you should go by what’s listed there if different from what we listed. 🧀

Member how we went to Japan non-stop direct First Class not for the usual $25,000, but for $250 each (see pics above)? Well, a credit card deal like this was a big part of that highlight of our lives which is why we both just got this card. TL;DR — Anyone love travel + in the market for a new credit card and wanna play the “Thanks for letting me know about this, keep sharing!” referral game?!

 

🔥 Important: This promo is NOT for you if the annual fee isn’t good for your personal financial situation* and/or if the required spend in the first months isn’t good for your personal financial situation. Please do not do not do not make a bad financial choice. This offer is not for everyone. *See why we think the 👀 annual fee is worth it for us below. 🔥
 
The other credit card we love for travel is an IHG card, which also often has good promos: check out our thoughts and the benefits here and compare cards to see which fits you best. We also are converts to seeing the good of airline status.
