About this card
The Capital One Venture X card is a solid travel card that offers a compelling value proposition, resulting in an overall rating of 3.8. Its strengths lie in its generous rewards program, including a high 2x miles earning rate, valuable travel credits, and access to airport lounges. The $300 annual travel credit and 10,000-mile anniversary bonus effectively offset the $395 annual fee for many users. However, its high APR range and some concerns about Capital One's customer service and the Capital One Travel portal bring the rating down slightly. The card is particularly well-suited for frequent travelers with excellent credit who can maximize its travel benefits.
