Looking at the capital one venture card, it looks like all travel must be booked through their portal and other than those tickets it looks like it’s entertainment type of tickets where you get your most rewards out of, is that true? What are your favorite benefits with this card?

Venture X is the good one. Venture card kinda sucks but could be worth it if you already have VX and want another sign up bonus.

VX has $395 fee, offset by $300 travel credit, 10k miles, global entry, priority pass / plaza premium, cap one lounge access, and transfer partners. If you fly out of an airport with a cap one lounge, that alone makes it worth it. Probably the best lounges in the US imo.

You should be moving points over to transfer partners for business class seats for best value.

You can sign up on the app. I typically add myself to the waitlist on the app when I have landed and am still on the plane.

I have the capital one venture X, American Express, business platinum, and Chase Sapphire, preferred. the capital one is my keeper card because I am at a net gain even if I only use it once or twice a year. I use the card each year to pay for a flight home to MN during Thanksgiving, which is always greater than $300. I love that I can also give my family authorized user cards without additional fee fees. They get lounge access too.
