Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card calculator

‍Ask Sebby crunches the numbers for you to calculate the Expected Value of the Venture X. For the expected value of miles, we derive the approximate dollar value based on the numbers you enter in the calculator. Scroll down to the end of the post to see our methodology. The calculator below contains default figures and serve as an example only. Users should insert their own data for the most accurate results.

Calculation Methodology

‍The results from the above calculator are based on your ability to reach the minimum spend requirement to earn the welcome offer, your amount of spend on different categories, how you plan to redeem Capital One Miles, and how much relative value you assign to the other benefits. The “Years” referenced in the calculator refer to the cardmember year, based on when you are approved for the card.

• Year 1 = first 12 months of card membership
  
• Year 2 = the following 12 months afterward

Value of Venture Miles

Venture miles are flexible and can be redeemed for flights, hotels, statement credit, and gift cards.

‍

The worst way to redeem Venture miles is cash back since miles are cashed out at 50% value. Cash back is when you request for the points to be added to your account or a check via mail. Redeeming points for statement credit is different than cash back.

When you choose to redeem miles for statement credit, you can select which travel transactions on your statement to “erase” within 90 days of the transaction posting. The travel category is broad and ranges from flight and hotel bookings to Uber and Airbnb purchases.

Airline Transfer Partners

Venture miles can be transferred to 15+ airline partners via the Capital One Rewards Mile portal. In most cases, miles are transferred to the airline partner at a 1 to 1 ratio, with a few exceptions listed below.

Capital One Airline Transfer Partners:

• Aeromexico Club Premier (1 to 1 ratio)
• Air Canada Aeroplan (1 to 1 ratio)
• Air France/KLM Flying Blue (1 to 1 ratio)
• Avianca LifeMiles (1 to 1 ratio)
• British Airways Executive Club (1 to 1 ratio)
• Cathay Pacific Asia Miles (1 to 1 ratio)
• Emirates Skywards (1 to 1 ratio)
• Etihad Guest (1 to 1 ratio)
• EVA Air Infinity MileageLands (2 to 1.5 ratio)
• Finnair Plus (1 to 1 ratio)
• Qantas Frequent Flyer (1 to 1 ratio)
• Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer (1 to 1 ratio)
• TAP Portugal Miles&Go (1 to 1 ratio)
• Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles (1 to 1 ratio)

Important: Once you transfer miles to a partner, you cannot reverse the transfer. Airline miles cannot be transferred back to Venture miles.

Before you transfer Venture miles to a partner, be sure to check the award chart for each airline to see if it’s a good value or not. Just because you have the ability to use transfer partners doesn’t mean that you should.
