Another update: it seems Capital One has expired all of the 100k+$250 links and those links now error out
Update: readers say that the 100k+$250 changes later in the application process; the landing page of 100k+250 might be erroneous advertising.

The Offer
The Capital One Venture card ($95 annual fee) has been offering 100,000 points signup bonus after spending $5,000 when signing up via referral. There’s also a public offer with 75,000 points after spending $4,000, plus $250 to use on Capital One Travel.
There’s a new version of the referral link offer which offers both bonuses:
- Signup for the Capital One Venture card and get $250 to use on Capital One Travel in your first cardholder year. Also, earn 100,000 bonus miles once you spend $5,000 on purchases within the first 3 months from account opening.
Card Details
- $95 annual fee; fee is not waived the first year
- Card earns 2x points everywhere (the equivalent of 2% everywhere)
- Card earns 5x points on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel
- No foreign transaction fees
- Visa Signature benefits
- Receive up to a $100 credit for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck
Our Verdict
This is an excellent offer. Read these things everybody should know about Capital One cards. We will add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.
Since most links don’t have this offer, we probably won’t open a referral thread as it becomes too difficult to moderate with the varying offers shown. You can search around the internet to find one of these.
Most of the links in the original referral post are dead, and I haven’t seen one yet with the 100k+$250 offer. A reader sent in the 100k+$250 link, and I also clicked through a bunch of links on Reddit and found one with this increased offer.
I’m not sure what decides which link will show the increased offer. Apparently even links generated months ago can potentially show the increased offer; I don’t know if it helps to generate a new link.
