Looking into getting a Capital One Venture X card.

For those who have it, how is booking airfare/hotel through the Capital One portal?

Is it worth having just for the 2x points on all other purchases?

Additional context:
-I have an Amex Gold
-Amex isn’t accepted at every hotel I will be staying at while traveling in Italy so I need a visa credit card with no foreign transaction fee
-My main hang up with the Venture X is I hear the price of hotels/airfare in their portal are higher.

I like the card. It pays for itself. The point redemption on united isn’t as good as using united points. The travel partners to transfer miles to aren’t great. But cap one is a top notch customer experience

I’d agree - great airline partners

Don’t use the portal outside of when necessary (getting the $300 credit) or for boutique properties/rental companies where you wouldn’t earn points. You won’t earn points on cars or hotels and your airline bookings are screwed in IRROPS

I have the card and use it for the 2x on everyday spend. I find that worth it since Cap1 has good transfer partners. Will be more worth it when more lounges open.

Happy to refer you if you end up applying.

Great card, easy to book through portal. Prices are usually lower in my experience. DM for questions or referral!

Has priority pass + plaza premium. Beats out chase in terms of lounge access AND its cheaper annual to boot.

No access to the restaurant credits though. I’d take that over Plaza Premium lounges.

I like the card. It’s simple and pays for itself with the anniversary miles and travel credit each year. Booking travel through the portal is pretty straight forward. I’d be happy to provide a referral link 👍🏼
