50,000 after $3,000 spend:
https://www.capitalone.com/credit-cards/travel-and-miles/
Capital One usually does a hard pull with all three credit bureaus.
If you have a security freeze on your report, they generally will not allow you to submit a code for this report to be viewable.
If you've held this card before, it looks like you can get this bonus again. Data points: 1, 2. YMMV

I believe that I accidentally hit application submit twice within a short period of time. Now I got two cards. I just received one, when I tried to activate it online, I noticed that I have another one waiting to be activated. Could one have two venture cards at same time?

For some people maybe, I don't MS and have never been denied a card in my life so HP's are not an issue for me
$210 for spending $1,000 works for me and is actually a better deal that spending $3000 to get $430 but I will also get that card if they let me

Could CapOne reduce cash advance limit? I chatted with a rep online, he told me that CA limit is tied with CL, he does have option to reduce it.

Outside of a signup bonus, it's difficult to justify paying any AF just to earn 2% back when there are no fee alternatives:

Venture sent me the new chip and sig card. The number and visa logo are on the back now. Pretty nice looking card overall.
I also notice purchase eraser seems to allow partial redemption. If doing this the charge must be >$25 and you must redeem at least 2,500 points. (IE You could redeem 3,000 points towards a $40 charge but not 2,000 points)

IMO......Should not be a problem. If it doesn't show up on "eraser", just call them up and they will most likely give you the manual credit. I have never been denied any reasonable travel expenses. Including miles purchases thru Points.com

Has anyone got approved for this or any CapOne card without getting them to pull all 3 bureaus? I can't find the damn recon number, and they already pulled my EQU. Their reason for rejection is ridiculous! Because they can't pull EXP and TU.
