Our Verdict
Best offer in the past was 100,000 points. That offer was more flexible as it didn’t have the $250 travel credit but had a slightly higher minimum spend requirement at $5,000. Still worth considering/doing for most people as I’m not sure if/when we will ever see that 100,000 point offer again. Read these things everybody should know about Capital One cards. We will add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.

Public link still working at 9:15 pm MST. P2 just approved with Experian frozen. Terms showed 75k + $250.
Still active and working as of 10:15p PDT. P1 instantly approved and terms both before and after application listed the $250 travel credit. The main landing page for the Venture no longer mentions it but it's listed on every other page still.
Expired
DP: 720 credit score and 3/24.
Approved with 10k credit limit.
4/24, 745 credit score. Have had the VX for 2 years and use it for most of my daily spending. Was hoping to score the offer on the venture so I could combine all my points and travel credits for my honeymoon in Japan next year. Anyways, I was obviously denied lol. Fuck.
Also I've got 7 (now 8) inquiries and have opened 2 personal and 2 business cards in the last 12 months
DP - 800+ credit score. No cards with cap one. Lifted freeze on all 3 bureaus. Pre-approval only showed SavorOne. Took the risk and applied anyway for the Venture.
DENIED! I hate capital one!
I was denied; 800+ credit score, no new cards in more than a year, plenty of history and income.
Pre-approval tool went from denied (no offer) to pre-approved. Went from 2/24 to 1/24 new cards. EX frozen, TU 800+ 0/6 1/12 2/24 inquires, EQ 800+ 0/24 inquires. Overall credit utilization 0%. 6 personal cards open. Instant approval with $30k CL.
1/24 817 score approved on pre approvals and have received mailers, rejected.
fuck capital one, what a waste of an inquiry
Link is expired/ invalid.
Does CapitalOne still pull from all three credit bureaus? I would rather they only pull from one. I keep my credit frozen btw, so wondering if only unfreezing one may do the trick. If that is the case, then which one should I unfreeze?
Also, what is the cash value of 75000 points?
it may vary by state so YMMV but my last approvals have been with only transunion unfrozen. there are many DPs where people have gotten approved with just EX/EQ or TU/EQ unfrozen. look for DPs based on your state
I just ran the pre-approval tool and got the message that I am not eligible for any of their cards, maybe because all bureaus are frozen? I have a savings account with them and according to their CreditWise tool, the score is 850 out of 850. Go figure!
Yes you have to unfreeze your credit for that tool to work.
