Update 4/10/25: More people are seeing again the 100k offer on their referral links. I’ll open the comments now and then close them in a bit. Update: comments closed.
We wrote about the offer on the Capital One Venture card (with a $95 annual fee) for 75,000 points + $250 travel credits with $4,000 spend requirement. It’s now come to light that some referral links are showing 100,000 points with a $5,000 spend requirement. (hat tip to FM)
Only newly generated links are showing the offer, so be sure to go now and get a new fresh link from Capital One. It seems the referral links are spotty and might show the offer sometimes and not others.
Feel free to post your links in the comments below if it shows the 100,000 offer. Do not add any words to the comments, just the link. Comments with extra words will be removed, no exceptions. We may close commenting at some point.
For those using a link from the comments: Find a link that shows the 100k offer. Then go through the pre-approval process on the screen. You should then get the 100k offer. (I assume the referrer will get credit if you apply using that pre-approval.)
I’ve decided to edit all the links where people are either not following the rules or posting the wrong link or posting a 75k offer so people can get a feel for how much extra moderation these referral threads create.
Please tell us how to get approved for Cap1 cards. I do not see them in preapproval.
Where’s your referral link?
We don’t share our credit card or bank account referrals to try and remain unbiased, otherwise we would just use affiliate links.
This is why we come here Doc. Commercially unbiased personal finance opportunities and discussion.
Too classy. Honestly would love to support you with simple measures like refs. Ever since /r/churning has gone to crap with their moronic “daily” style postings, I’ve entirely been reliant upon you guys Doc. Thanks so much for all you do.
The best way to show our thanks is always to use DoCs affiliate links when shopping at Amazon or Ebay. The links are about 1/3 down on the right-hand side of the DoC opening page.
I don’t see these affiliate links? Maybe because I’m on my iPhone?
Reddit churning was destroyed because of other things. Human nature and lack of class, particularly in the context of money but also online message boards in general. Their data points thread is still useful for the ordinary and classy folks who share their experiences in a positive way.
Integrity. Keep up the good work! 👍
Lots of newbs here, Doc. Makes it harder for you.
A lot isn’t newbies but people intentionally misleading others for their own benefit
Thanks William!
This probably was asked before but could not find it. Is there a link for Venture X referrals? Or where can we post them?
Seconding this, thanks Doc
Is it possible to add a Downvote button? Reddit self-regulates pretty well this way.

Kind of crazy how few people actually read the post and simply see “post referral” and tune out the rest. Greed is one hell of a drug.
