Which credit cards are best for overseas everyday spending?
There are increasingly more and more credit cards that don't charge foreign transaction fees when you use them abroad, and that's a trend that has been very good for those of us who like to travel. But when it comes to general everyday spending when you're outside of the US, most of these cards don't offer a great return. So which cards do?
Capital One improves lounge entry benefits on multiple cards
Over the past year, Capital One has been causing waves in the travel segment of the credit card world with the changes that it has been making to some of its products and the benefits they offer. Now, with yet another positive move announced, Capital One has improved three of its cards even further.
Last chance for a 100,000 bonus with the Capital One Venture X Card…but I’m...
The highly lauded Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card has been offering a welcome bonus of 100,000 points (for those who meet the spending target) since it was first launched in November last year and with this welcome offer set to end on March 15th, you could be forgiven for thinking that I'll be rushing out to get my application done asap. This time, however, I'm going to be sitting this one out.
Applications Open: Capital One Venture X Rewards credit card
As of today, applications for the new Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card are open. This is the latest premium card to be targeted to the miles & points world and when you consider what this card offers alongside its comparatively low annual fee, it's probably not overstating things when I say that this will almost certainly be the most popular premium card launch since the Chase Sapphire Reserve Card first came on the scene.
Capital One introduces a new premium credit card – Venture X
Capital One recently got the miles and points community considerably more excited about a couple of its credit cards when it announced that a majority of transfers to its travel partners would now process in a 1:1 ratio.

Wow! Capital One Miles now transfer to most partners in a 1:1 ratio

Who saw that coming?!
Capital One will offer a bonus on transfers to British Airways (for a limited...
A little surprisingly, Capital One has given us early notice that it will be offering holders of four of its credit cards a bonus when they transfer points across to the British Airways Executive Club. Anyone considering converting their Venture Miles into British Airways Avios should hold tight for a few weeks as the transfer ratio being offered is about to get noticeably better.
Last call for 100,000 bonus points from Capital One
The Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card has just had its welcome offer refreshed and the new bonus being offered is an incredible 100,000 points - That's double what the card was offering up until now. With Chase introducing its fantastic Freedom Flex card just a week ago and also improving the value proposition of its Freedom Unlimited credit card, it looks as if Capital One has suddenly realized that it needs to respond.
The Hotels.com benefit is ending on the Capital One Venture Rewards credit card
Capital One has had a relationship with Hotels.com for a number of years and through this relationship holders of the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card have been able to earn 10 miles/dollar for all spending made through Hotels.com. Traditionally this relationship has run January through January so we've been waiting to see if this earnings bonus would be renewed for 2020... but it doesn't look like this will be happening.

Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card – The Next Card I’ll Probably Get
Earlier I wrote a post in which I explained why I'm finding myself making more and more hotel bookings through various online travel agencies and how Hotels.com is one of my preferred agencies to use.Well, if I'm going to continue to make bookings through Hotels.com (and it looks as if I am) there is one credit card that I should almost certainly add to my portfolio - the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card.
