NegativeSummary of a Reddit post
They downgraded their Venture X to a VentureOne after a year, but Capital One kept the posted annual fee and a manager refused to remove it until they closed the account, after which the fee was cancelled.

NegativeSummary of a Reddit comment
Opened the card and was blocked pending income verification; despite sending documents, the issuer closed it and still charged the annual fee. Escalating by phone did nothing, and a CFPB complaint eventually produced a courtesy credit of the fee.

NegativeSummary of a Reddit post
They could not add their Venture X to a new phone or watch despite having the card in hand and being fully authenticated, and after many support calls were told to wait 30 days.

NegativeSummary of a Reddit comment
They had a returned payment from another bank, called to explain and paid another way, and a rep said all would be fine. Two weeks later Capital One closed their Venture X anyway.
Reddit · r/CapitalOne · Sep 7, 2026
NegativeSummary of a Reddit comment
They held a Venture X since 2022 until Capital One abruptly closed it, citing activity inconsistent with normal patterns. They got no explicit reason, no annual fee refund and no compensation for lost points, and are winding down their Capital One relationship.
Reddit · r/CapitalOne · Aug 13, 2026
NegativeSummary of a Reddit comment
They were restricted soon after getting the Venture X and waited weeks to learn more documents were needed, with points locked meanwhile. They call it an excellent card from a horrible company.
Reddit · r/CapitalOne · Apr 3, 2026
NegativeSummary of a Reddit post
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.
Reddit · r/CapitalOne · Mar 15, 2026
NegativeSummary of a Reddit comment
They closed their Venture X after a few months of frustration with a restricted account and a fraud department repeatedly demanding the same documents, and the issuer refused to refund the annual fee.
Reddit · r/personalfinance · Oct 7, 2025
NegativeSummary of a Reddit post
They reported three back-to-back fraudulent charges on their Venture X within hours and closed the card, but Capital One denied the claim, saying the card was tapped, and refused to share merchant details.
Reddit · r/CapitalOne · May 23, 2026
NegativeSummary of a Reddit post
They found their Venture X and Quicksilver suddenly restricted after a returned payment, losing a large miles balance. Support cited unusual activity and said reinstatement was unlikely.

NegativeSummary of a Reddit comment
They were denied for the Venture X and got no help when they phoned the reconsideration line, and were then immediately approved for the Chase Sapphire Preferred instead.
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.

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.
