Don’t Forget To Maximize the Whole Credit Value
You get $300 in annual credit for bookings through Capital One Travel to use every year you hold the Venture X credit card. It’s possible to use the credit once in its entirety or apply it to multiple smaller purchases. To maximize its value, make sure to use up the full $300 credit before it expires.
Book a Hotel Without Elite Perks
As discussed earlier, you won’t receive any benefits associated with elite status at a hotel chain, so it’s probably best to save those reservations for direct bookings and use the credit for a property where you won’t get elite benefits anyway. Boutique hotels, theme park hotels and all-inclusive properties come to mind.
Keep Track of Your Card Anniversary Date
Because the Capital One Venture X travel credit expires and resets every year on your account anniversary date and not at the end of the calendar year, we recommend taking note of your account opening date to help you remember when to use the credit. You don’t want to miss out on its full value.
