Heads up, award travelers! Capital One's made a tweak to the rules for earning those juicy sign-up bonuses on their Venture-branded credit cards (like the Venture Rewards and Venture X). They've added a new "family" rule, which means if you *or* someone else in your household has already snagged a bonus on a Venture card, you might not be eligible for another one. Why should you care? Well, these bonuses are a fantastic way to rack up miles quickly for your next adventure. Previously, you might have been able to get a bonus even if someone else in your household had one before. Now, Capital One is cracking down on that. This means you need to be extra careful when planning your credit card strategy with family members. Make sure to check the fine print and consider other card options if someone in your household already holds a Venture bonus. Basically, Capital One is tightening the reins on who gets those bonuses. So, if you're eyeing a Venture card, it's more important than ever to make sure you haven't (or someone in your household hasn't) already taken advantage of the offer! It's all about maximizing those rewards, so stay informed and plan strategically.
