Pays property tax and IRS tax with the Venture X despite the card fee, since travel redemptions after a year and a half of heavy travel easily return well over 1 cent per point.

They held the Venture X for years alongside a Savor and built up a large stash of points for several flights to Europe, then moved to a no-fee card when their travel habits changed and got part of the fee refunded.

They own the Venture X, Sapphire Preferred and Freedom Unlimited and would keep the Venture X, valuing its flat everyday earning and using the annual portal credit for car rentals rather than chasing transfer partners.

Has used the Venture X as an everyday card and recently redeemed its points for two business-class round trips to Japan, which they take as proof the card is worth it.

They use the Venture X as a backup where Amex is refused, taking advantage of all its credits and the flat 2x earning, and like that Visa is accepted nearly everywhere.

PositiveSummary of a Reddit comment
Finds the Venture X gives the same perks for effectively nothing and out-earns the Chase trifecta.

PositiveSummary of a Reddit comment
Has booked several trips through the Venture X portal and never paid more than elsewhere once the 10% back is counted.
Customers mostly find it easy to justify, as the travel credit and anniversary miles offset the annual fee, and they value the lounge access, simple 2x earning and portal pricing. Downsides are a portal-only travel credit that some find cumbersome and recent lounge access changes that hurt solo travelers and those with guests.
Of the 162 reviews with a clear verdict, 65% are positive, 18% mixed and 17% negative. The praise mentioned most is great travel perks. The most common complaint is poor support.
The praise reviewers mention most: great travel perks (40 reviews), great rewards (22 reviews) and easy to use (7 reviews). For example: Barely spends on it beyond work travel, but the travel credit and anniversary points cover the annual fee.
The complaints reviewers mention most: poor support (11 reviews), account frozen (6 reviews) and hard to redeem (3 reviews). For example: They were told by a phone representative that a VentureOne could not be switched to a Venture X, so they closed it and applied for the Venture X, but were denied.
It's how well reviewed Capital One Venture X is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a product needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed products here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
Category: Travel rewards card. Type: Premium travel rewards credit card. Fees: $395 annual fee. Rates & rewards: 10x miles on hotels and rental cars through Capital One Travel, 5x on flights and vacation rentals through Capital One Travel, 2x on all other purchases.
