Great to get rewards for every day use.
I love that this card offers purchase eraser. Using purchase eraser you can buy anything related to travel using this card and then use the miles you have earned to turn around and pay off the travel expense within 90 days. The card automatically shows you what is a valid travel purchase and allows you to click redeem. Then voila! Within 3 business days, you have yourself a credit on your account. The customer service is excellent, and I get alerts on my phone whenever a purchase is made. (Completely customizable in the settings).
I also love that it is Visa and is accepted most places. It is a heavy metal card, so no worries about it breaking down from everyday swiping, and the number is on the back, so not easily seen by prying eyes. I get 2 times miles on any purchase, and they add up quickly with a family of three.
The only negative thing I will say is that it comes with a 24% APR, so if you get this, plan on paying it off every month so you don't need to pay the ridiculously high interest rate.
Flexible
I haven't paid interest on this card once, no late fees and have had great customer service. Love the card, I own Amex too. Love both, miles for travel are so flexible with Venture Card though. I use it more. If you pay your balances in full like I do, then you won't have to worry about interest, just use whatever card that gives you the benefits you want.
Amazing card with great benefits!!!
I absolutely love This card! The bonus upon opening the card was extremely easy to redeem in fact I flew to Hawaii for free :-)
Application process stressful
Active duty and applies for the card. Some reason I got checked for fraud??? Literally took forever just to get my identity verified. Anyone else ran in this problem ?

This has been my go-to card for everything for two years. I love it. I was lucky enough to be issued a World Elite MasterCard version during the window when they were still issuing MCs, and combined with a ridiculously generous CL, and (literally) no-hassle rewards, this has been my favorite of all my credit cards since day one.
The benefits are not worth the cost, the miles are basically worthless and the cash back is not worth the cost. Interest is way too high for someone with above 770+ credit score. Only thing I do enjoy is the card is made of metal.
STAY AWAY!! WORST CREDIT CARD EVER!!!
Capital One Venture has the absolute worst customer service ever! I've had 2 different issues with fraudulent disputes and they don't ever help the customer out. I had a shady airline website make charges that I never authorized and tried to make me pay cancellation fees to remove the charges and Venture told me to file a Dispute. Which I did and the manager at Venture reassured me not to cancel the charges even though I only had 24 hours to cancel or they would charge me the full amount. The manager said I would win the case and not to cancel in order not to get the cancellation fees added as well from the shady merchant. I did what she asked and then 2 months later they sent me a letter saying my case was lost because I never canceled the charges that they supposedly said they've taken care of and said the case is lost and the money has been paid to the merchant. I told them the phone calls are recorded and I have the manager's name and employee ID and they said they needed that in writing not over the phone and it's my responsibility since it was my card. Stay away from this card, american express handles all your disputes for you with no problems and they make sure the customer is priority over the merchant. Any shady fraudulent activity occurs, american express has your back. Venture is only interested in taking your money and treating you like your the problem. I'm closing my account with them as soon as the dispute is closed and am telling every person I know not to get this card.
Punishing Interest rates, Bad Cust serv
They are cheap because they are cheap. Cashback is 2% which is great but they make all the cashback they paid you when they rip you apart with fees. With a late fee, interest charge and a higher residual interest charge, you pay a fee, a fine on the fee and a fine on that fine almost until 2 months of your late payment. Stay away from Capital One, they approve everyone because they can mooch anyone. Choose Chase or Amex if you have decent scores (I own both), they may not pay you as much in Cashbacks but have great service and no shady charges in the back. You will save a lot on a longer run and won't have your hard earned money going into interest and fees.

I love this card
Best and eastiest rewards.
Would recommend it
I had nothing but good experience with them so far. Had the card for 5 months and got my signup bonus right when I hit the spending requirements without jumping through hoops
