Our Verdict

We’ve seen increased signup offers of 60,000 or even 100,000, though the latter had a high $20,000 spend bonus and most people will consider this 75,000 offer easier/better, I think.

Points can be redeemed either as a travel credit to offset $750 in travel costs or you can get gift card redemptions in that amount. You can also transfer the miles to 12 travel partners that Capital One has. The Venture might also be interesting to some people as an everyday card.

We’ll add this offer to our list of best credit card signup bonuses. If you’re going to apply, it’s worth checking out these Things to Know about Capital One Credit Cards first. Notably, Capital One is known to pull all three credit bureaus for each application. Keep in mind, you can freeze your Experian or Transunion and limit the pulls to just two. Another issue is that they seem to be stricter with approvals than other card issuers, and they may also have a rule to only approve one card per six months (hard pull won’t even be done beyond that).
