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

My father signed up for the venture card about 6 months ago and currently has a bit over 100K Points? miles? or something with them. He asked me what is the best way to spend them... I have never had the card and can't find any easy explanation online. Anyone who has it care to explain what he can use them for?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
You can redeem a single travel expense over and over. Let's say you spend $100 on travel. You can then spend $900 on ANYTHING else and redeem that $100 travel expense 10 times to cover the $1000.
Don't limit yourself to only travel expenses unless you have $1000 in travel coming up.

Well, the two cards differ in a lot ways, including how one can use the points, benefits such as rental car coverage (primary coverage with CSP), etc. Both cards are blue, though. Have you started by looking at the info on each card at the Cap One and Chase web sites? Which card you put spend on simply depends on how you would use Ultimate Rewards points and the value you get from those points. I's start with whether you want to use CSP's transfer partners, or just want cash back.

Applied for Venture. I already have the no-fee version of this card. App wasn't auto-approved. 3rd app today, other two were for Arrival+ and CSP, those went to pending as well. But I was able to get approved for the other two after recon calls.
For Capital One it seems they don't do recon? I called their general line, and was told by a rep that it will take up to 3 weeks for them to make a decision. I guess there's nothing I can do to push this process along? If anybody has any advice I'd appreciate it.

Just got back from a trip to France with my chipped Venture card. Worked everywhere I tried it (Restaurants, shops, the toll roads up to Normandy etc) - even a vendor at a random street market who had a credit machine. I never once got denied (well once on a toll road but we figured out it the company that owned this particular toll road was Amex only).
Did not try it at the 24/7 unmanned gas stations or the Paris Metro terminals - my girlfriend was paying for those portions and she has the Arrival+, which is chip and pin.

Does anyone know if purchases made as part of the min spend ($3k) can be the travel purchases that you redeem the miles against? I understand that there is a 90 day window in which to redeem, but it says the bonus may take 2 billing cycles to post.
I know this works with the arrival+, the bonus posts immediately, but am less familiar with this card.

Stupidly added this card at the end of an app run the other day without doing any research first. Got approved for Amex PRG, BoA AS and Citi Hilton then got denied for this card. Reasons for denial:
Thank you for applying for a credit card issued by Capital One. Unfortunately, after reviewing your application and information obtained from your consumer credit report(s) from the agencies detailed on the back of this letter - we cannot approve your request at this time.
The reason(s) for our decision are:
• Based on your credit report from Equifax, too few or no revolving accounts have a balance I use several of my cards all the time and the rest on a rotational basis so not sure what this could mean unless they were looking to see a balance on every card!
• Based on your credit report from Trans Union, there are too many new revolving accounts No way around this one, I've been busy (but not as busy as some FT'rs). 6 new in past year, 12 in past 2 years.
• Based on your application information, income is insufficient for requested credit - This makes no sense. My income is slightly above 6 figures and I have no debts other than a small mortgage. Could this be referring to my income vs. already existing credit lines from other banks?
I've never dealt with Cap One before and I guess I won't again since I don't see any of the above changing any time soon. And, they pulled all 3 credit bureaus!
My FICO is consistently above 800. Before the other day, I had been on a self imposed 6 month app hiatus so I thought I was in good shape for an app run. I guess I would have known that about the 3 pulls if I had done my usual research but after seeing the PRG 50K no AF $100 airline credit offer, and the BoA 25K $100 statement credit offer, I jumped the gun and then quickly added Citi and CapOne to round it out.

Got going on two venture cards recently. I was impressed by how broad their travel definition is. So far I have been able to see available for redemptions:
Airbnb
AA award booking fees
Taxi charges in home city
Rental car in home city
Looks as good as the Arrival+

- Redeem for purchases under $25 (well full purchases - partial redemptions are limited to a minimum of $25)
