Hold up, Capital One cardholders! It looks like Capital One might be playing the retention game now. Usually, when you call to cancel a credit card, you might get offered a "retention bonus"—basically, a reason to stick around, like bonus points or a statement credit. Capital One hasn't really been known for this... until now, possibly!
A user on Reddit reported they were offered a $200 Capital One travel credit when trying to cancel their Venture X card. Now, it's just one data point, so don't get too excited yet. But, it's worth knowing about if you're thinking of ditching your Venture X! It may be worth calling to see if you can get something too.
Why does this matter? Well, if you were planning to cancel your Venture X, or any Capital One card for that matter, it's now worth a phone call. You might be able to snag a nice travel credit just for threatening to cancel. It never hurts to ask!
