Capital One is bringing back a massive welcome bonus for its Venture X card! New applicants can snag 100,000 bonus miles after spending $10,000 in the first six months. This is the highest offer we've seen since the card's launch, so if you've been eyeing this premium travel card, now is the time. Typically, the offer is 75,000 miles after a lower spend, making this a significant upgrade for those who can swing the initial spending requirement.

So, why should you care? Well, those 100,000 miles can be worth a lot in travel. The Venture X earns 2x miles on everyday purchases, 5x on flights and 10x on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel. Plus, it comes loaded with perks like a $300 annual travel credit, 10,000 bonus miles every year after your first anniversary, and access to Capital One and Priority Pass lounges. Also included is up to $100 in credit for TSA PreCheck or Global Entry. Don't forget the Hertz President's Circle status and solid travel/purchase protections!

Finally, a pro tip: Before you apply, ask a friend who already has the Venture X for a referral link. They'll earn bonus miles if you're approved (and you'll still get the 100,000 mile offer!). Just remember, the referrer only gets a bonus if you're brand new to Capital One cards, so it has to be your first Capital One card.
