    In this video, we’re looking at two Capital One credit cards that together form the Capital One Duo credit card setup. The two credit cards that make up the Capital One Duo are the Capital One Venture X and the Capital One SavorOne, but there’s a couple of other credit cards that you can swap into this setup as well. Together, this might be not only the best travel credit card setup, but also the most simple setup because you only need 2 cards to earn Capital One Miles in a variety of spending categories.
    Throughout this video, I’ll go over why the Venture X and SavorOne credit cards go so well together and how they earn these valuable Capital One Miles. I’ll also talk about what these miles are worth, as well as an example of how to redeem Capital One Miles using the Venture X credit card and the transfer partners that it has.
    In my opinion, if you’re looking for a simple and minimal credit card setup that’s really easy to keep track of but still gives you a lot of value, and if you travel at least once or twice per year or more, then the Capital One Duo credit card setup is going to be great for you!

    I've said it for years, but the Savor One is one of the most underrated cards around. There's so much value there, plus no foreign transaction fee and travel benefits too. It's rare to get all that in a no annual fee card. It gives the Chase Freedom Flex a good run for its money.

    So a couple things. Captial one has this dumb rule that you cant apply for a new credit card with capital one for 6 months since the last application you did, so if you dont have any of these cards already it can take 6 months to do. Another thing worth mentioning is that the portal of capital is powered by Hopper. For those that are travel savy will know how important that tidbit is ;)

    The Venture X and Savor One are Capital One's saving graces in my opinion. They aren't my favorite lender, but they did it right with these cards. The ability to convert your cash back on your Savor One to miles on your Venture X really unlocks a lot of value from this duo considering how many categories the Savor One covers in addition to the 2x miscellaneous category on the VX. Great call on this one Daniel!

      I’m with you on C1 not being my favorite lender but, they have been growing on me the last couple of years. Taking basically the same awards structure other lenders build into trifectas and putting into a duo by making your high-end travel card also your catch-all card was brilliant on their part. It’s simple, and a lot of people want simple. I also have a soft spot for them because they were my first card… a long time ago. In a decade far far away.

Capital one not so much. I do love the idea of AMEX Platinum AMEX Gold and C1 Venture X as a trifecta. I feel like those 3 cards can really cover all of your bases as you go and travel.

With a great set of travel benefits for little to no cost AND a solid all-round earner, the two cards work so well together. The Uber perk on the SavorOne is such a major cherry on top too. Another perk that's kindof hidden is that the Priority Pass has no limit on the number of guests you can bring in too! As always, awesome review Daniel!

    ON your redemption example, I feel like one thing that isn't talked about enough is that there are often bonuses to transfer to BA or Virgin Atlantic so if you watch for those and transfer when you get a 30% bonus you would have only needed to transfer 17k miles instead of 22k which would have been over 5 cents per mile. I recently did this for business class from Barcelona to JFK through VA. Ticket was 48,500 miles so I transferred 38k. Even if you figure only $2500 for a cash price that is over 6.5 cents per mile.

    Love using the venture X. I dont really find the travel portal that frustrating like people say. I got to baseball games ever now and then using points I earn- as well as hotels for the weekend when I travel with my wife. I just got accepted for the savor one. Looking forward to the simplicity. Planning to use it for dining n groceries etc. hate to admit but I’ve learned a lot with capital one. I was considering Amex options but chose to keep it simple.

    I have this exact same set up been using them for a while now great way of building up miles fast especially with that 10% Uber eats i usually just do pick up instead of delivery. Only problem is C1 is terrible at giving you a high credit limit especially on the S1. I've had it for over 3 years now and still stuck at 1k. I always pay in full, never miss a payment and constantly at the edge of maxing it out due to me travelling a lot for work and using perdiem to cover my food charges on the card.

    I have a middle score of 770 and got declined for venture X. Called customer service and since I had a credit freeze for security purposes, all I had to do was remove them and re-apply. Most cards you only need to unfreeze one bureau not all three. My first credit denial in years if not EVER lol. 😂 I will reapply soon. I closed my Amex platinum due to lounge overcrowding, the annoying airline credit that’s hard to use, the hotel credit that’s limited and the hefty $695 fee. The venture X is essentially a free card that pays you $5/year to have it.

    I feel like something nobody talks about when it comes to Capital One is that their travel portal is powered by Hopper. Haven’t booked any flights since Covid, but hopper always seemed to have the cheapest bookings available back then so I’d be more inclined to “trust” the value of C1’s travel portal.

It gets 8X on gas and and 5X on things like utilities. $95 annual fee offset by 15k anniversary miles. Oh yeah, Wyndham is a transfer partner of Capital One. My favorite super power? Wyndham’s partnership with Vacasa at a fixed mileage redemption where I’ve gotten 5-6 cents per mile!

    I think that 10K mile anniversary is helpful for credit card optimizers that divide spend between different ecosystems, who therefore would have more limited spend on the VX vs. someone who has it as their only card. The drawback of such optimization is the chance of rewards becoming too diluted, but the bonus somewhat helps to counter this as far as C1 goes.

    So from what I have heard is that you can only hold 2 personal capital credit cards (non-business cards) at one time. Unfortunately I have the quicksilver and savor one cards already. My plan was to have the savor one and venture x as my 2 main cards. I don't want to upgrade the quicksilver because i know I won't get to take advantage of the signup bonuses the venture x offers when you apply for a new account? What would you suggest i do to be able to somehow get the venture x and take advantage of the sign up bonuses? The quicksilver is alsonthe cedit card I have had the longest. Please help!!!

    • @AdamBA380
      @AdamBA380 Рік тому

      Like you, my Quicksilver is my oldest card. I applied for the Venture X as my second Capital One card and was approved. I waited 8 months (getting a personal Chase card in the meantime) before applying and being approved for the SavorOne. That’s three personal cards. There are tons of data points disproving the “2 card max” with Capital One.
      If you want the Venture X then just roll the dice and apply. You could use the pre-approval checker to see if you’re likely to get the regular Venture card, and if they come back saying you’re pre-approved for that then you know you have at least decent odds to get the VX.
