Capital One VentureOne Rewards review

VentureOne is the low commitment way into Capital One miles. There is no annual fee and no foreign transaction fee, so it works as a card to carry abroad even if you only travel once or twice a year. Every purchase earns unlimited 1.25 miles per dollar, and hotels, vacation rentals and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel earn 5 miles per dollar. New cardmembers can earn 20,000 bonus miles after spending $500 on purchases within the first 3 months, the lowest spending requirement on this list. The card also has a 0% intro APR for 15 months on purchases and balance transfers, then 18.74% to 28.74% variable, with a balance transfer fee. Miles can be redeemed for travel booked through Capital One Travel or against past travel purchases. The trade-off is earning power: 1.25 miles per dollar is well below the 2X on Venture and Venture X, and there are no lounges or travel credits. Wells Fargo Autograph earns more for most spending at the same $0 fee.
