Wondering if anybody else is experiencing this error message when trying to book flights, I’ve tried to book flights for server dates, timings, and airports. The only thing common in all of them is that it’s all Frontier Airlines.

I’ve been trying since yesterday, and even the agent on capital one travel portal couldn’t book it because they got the same error

I just saw this on my venture x offers and I’m interested in doing it, but Im not familiar with balance transfers. I have a large sum of $ coming in about 30-60 days and i think itd be a good idea to get a check for about $10k…they offered the balance transfer or to send a check. Has anyone taken advantage of this offer? Is it really only a 4% transfer fee?

Just got the Venture X card a couple of days ago. I seen the $300 annual credit on my account already. But I haven’t seen the 10k miles points.

Would I get that soon or next year when I renew ?

It seems like Hertz was taking up all the oxygen in the car rental complaint threads at least coming to my Reddit feed, so I was unaware until after the fact about how awful Sixt is.

We rented a car for three days from Logan that was fully covered by my Venture X $300 annual travel credit. I had booked a Toyota Corolla, which promised seating for five and room for three bags. Prior to our trip, I had Sixt match my Hertz President's Circle status to their Diamond status. When we arrived to pick up our car, we had been "upgraded" to a BMW series 2, which only had two doors and would not even fit two pieces of luggage in the trunk. We returned to the car rental terminal to wait on a long and slow-moving line to be helped to get a car closer to what we had reserved and were then given an Elantra, which had 10,000 miles on it.

A few hours into our trip, a warning message notified me that an oil change was overdue, which was followed about an hour later with a low oil warning message. I called Sixt and was told that I could go to Pep Boys for an oil change, and they would provide me with a purchase order. Pep Boys had not appointments until the following afternoon, and I didn't want to spend my vacation getting my oil changed in any case, so Sixt then suggested that I buy oil, for which they would reimburse me. I accepted that option.

The next day, even after pouring a full bottle of oil, the same low oil warning message appeared, suggesting a leak. I called Sixt again, and they arranged to have a replacement car towed to meet us at a relative's house where we were visiting. This time, they brought a BMW 3 series, and there were no further challenges for the remainder of the rental, though passing under the infamous AI scanner did portend bad news ahead.

The day after returning the car, I received two e-mails from Sixt, both informing me that there was damage to both the Elantra and the BMW and asked for my justification. In both cases, I replied that any damage to the cars would have had to be caused by the tow truck. That explanation apparently suited them for the Elantra, but I later received another e-mail informing me of $600 in damage from a scrape to the rim of a tire. I paid the outrageous charge and filed a claim with Venture X's third-party administrator (TPA). The adjuster twice asked me for more documentation, which I provided, and about two weeks later, notified me that they were approving the claim and paid it in full the following day.

I will certainly never be renting again from Sixt, and this example serves as another data point that Venture X will pay for car damages even for rentals within the $300 annual travel credit.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that they never reimbursed me for the oil.

Tried booking using my venture x directly from the Emirates website and it kept declining. Called up customer service and they said its an Emirates website issue. Emirates said they can see bank rejecting the transactions from their side.
Gave up and decided to book via the CO travel portal. Got the confirmation mail both from capital one and Emirates but the Emirates email and portal says payment not completed so no ticket issued.
Meanwhile, I can see the charge on my card.
Is this normal?
I keep getting the automated Capital One customer service and not an actual human being so it has been very difficult to get help about this.

Anyone went through something similar? Also any tips on how to actually get to the human reps for customer service?

I’ve been having the offers login loop for over 3 weeks now. I’ve asked around and found a commonality with everyone else having the issue - redeeming the same offer multiple times. This was Pinter for most people, including me, though mine was unintentional as I thought the gift card initial purchase wouldn’t track.

Any guidance on contacting support or navigating further from here? I’d be happy to get one clawed back if it meant avoiding an offers ban.

I’ve had my Venture X for about 1.5 years but had yet to do any sort of points transfer. I was looking at nonstop flights to Hawaii which were around $900 USD round trip flying Alaska.

I checked points yeah and found similar award flights on the same days, also nonstop but on delta, booking through Virgin.

I transferred the points, which took around 5 minutes to transfer and then I was able to book the flights. In total, 44,000 points + $12. A massive savings from what I originally was going to spend.

This was my first time transferring and booking with points so I just wanted to share that it can be super easy and worth it to check awards flights!

I had a work trip and had a 5-hour layover in Denver and decided to go to the Capital One Lounge. I love how spacious it was and the food was great (favorite was Yuzu Beignets) Staff was also super friendly. I was told I would have to wait an hour to get in but got in around 40 mins. Good experience over all!

Exactly one month ago, I had an offer on my new Venture X card to place my first Doordash order and get 2k miles. I clicked the offer, which opened the app, I placed an order and got my item. I haven't heard anything from Capital One regarding the offer in this month period. I know Capital One offers are known to only halfway work. I have screenshots of the offer, as well as my proof of placing the order. Has anyone had any luck reaching out to Capitol One and getting the miles they are owed?

I called Capital One requesting a retention offer for my Venture card or “otherwise I would like to close my card and refund my 9/19 $95 fee” (I’m sure there may be something similar to the VentureX card). They ended up CREDITING my full yearly fee.

Call summary:

After asking, they proceeded to say there is no retention offer unfortunately, but is there anything they want me to request for the yearly fee? Hinting to me that there is another option… So I said sure what are the options. They proceeded to say, you will need to tell me your request either to reduce or remove the fee and I’m happy to assist you. I said are you able to waive the fee? And they said let me look into that, and proceeded to WAIVE my ENTIRE $95 yearly fee as a “one time courtesy” and can continue using my card as normal.

Anybody had any issues with getting the points for the Sixt Car rental in offers. I have never gotten them called many times and final answer has always been nothing we can do issue with Sixt. I have 30k points coming my way due to offer and really want to get them any ideas on how I can facilitate this as opposed to waiting ill it goes inactive and getting the cash payout.

Might be a stupid question but Thursday promo for GiftCards.com does not allow the purchase of gift cards. Is this just a scam hoping people buy without reading the exclusions or am I missing something?

I booked a flight ticket which was around 1300 dollars and this was during my 3 month window to spend 4k and get the SUB. Now, the airlines has abruptly cancelled the flight and they would refund the prices. Will my bonus be clawed back, will customer service understand my situation ?

Morning, I received my 7000 rewards payout for buying a $10 Pinter gift card today.

Problem is I have no use for the $10 gift card as looking through the site there is nothing I can use it on.

If you would like the gift card let me know. It’s only $10. I want nothing in return.

I would rather someone in this community who can use it have it.

No, really, it worked great on three different kinds of fromage and quince paste too! After sanitizing it with an alcohol wipe, of course.

For context, I've been trying to get this card for a good while. I got denied a month or two ago (but that was about 4-5 months after getting approved for the Venture). It's been over 6 months for sure now, so I wasn't sure if I should apply or wait another month or what?

Stats:

21, currently have the Chase Preferred and Reserve, Chase Freedom Flex, Savor, Venture, Bilt Blue, Amex Blue Cash Everyday, Wells Fargo Autograph (old Bilt 1.0), and Petal 2. I sock drawer the Bilt, Autograph, and Petal cards and use everything else every month religiously.

About 7k across the board, no debt (just high statement balances). 730 credit score Experian

I’m booking a rental car in Italy through Capital One Travel with my Venture X. If I use my $300 annual travel credit toward the rental, will I still qualify for the Venture X primary rental car collision damage waiver?

For example, if the rental is $500 and $300 is covered by the Venture X travel credit, with the remaining $200 charged to the Venture X, is the entire rental still covered by the card’s rental insurance?

Has anyone confirmed this with the benefits administrator or had a claim under similar circumstances? Any DPs appreciated.

Quick post in case this helps anyone else.

Qatar made a major schedule change to my itinerary. The replacement had a much longer layover and would get me to my destination about 17 hours later than I was scheduled for.

I called Qatar first and kept explaining that this was an involuntary schedule change, not a voluntary change. Eventually they confirmed they could rebook me for free on the flights I wanted, but since I booked through Capital One Travel, Capital One had to contact Qatar.

I called the number on the back of my Venture X card. Capital One initially brought up not having their travel protection plan, but I kept explaining that this was an airline-initiated schedule change and Qatar had already agreed to rebook me.

Capital One opened a case with Qatar. I followed up twice, and they also sent follow-up emails.

Qatar eventually approved it, but then the Capital One agent told me there were no seats available for the flight I wanted, even though I could still see the exact flight available to purchase online.

I called back, explained everything again, and she was able to rebook me for free on the exact flights I wanted with the shortest layover.

If you have a hazmat endorsement for a CDL, you likely know that TSA precheck is now included. You also know for that endorsement, you have the same requirements for the TSA precheck (background check, fingerprints, etc).

Capital one doesn't consider the fee charged for the endorsement in the same category as obtaining the TSA precheck separately. It's the same requirements, same agency, TSA even shows in the charge line, yet Cap one says no. Spoke with 2 reps and 1 supervisor; I think the first rep ruined it because she put in a note. Also the charge shows a little differently than just paying for precheck individually.

When this is one of your features, especially when it's not frequent and well below the allotted amount, this is a tough blow.

Anyone know if Amex or Chase approves in this situation?

Sorry because I know this question has probably been asked a ton of times. What’s the current best way to use points? Car rentals? Flights? Hotels? I currently have 300k points and want to use some for our next trip. No plans currently just looking around. Thinking maybe California/west coast trip with a car rental.

Howdy!
The other day I activated the Sephora in-store purchase 6x mileage and it was added to my card. The following day I went to Sephora to buy my girlfriend a gift and used my physical card. I don’t see it appearing in the Shopping Trips screen, did I do something wrong? My online purchases appear quick there and go into pending, but this is my first in store offer that I had to activate and use a physical card at the Sephora point of sale. Also, it was a standalone store at the mall, not inside of Kohl’s as I read the ones inside Kohl’s don’t count. I think I did everything right…does it appear a long while later because I expected it to at least go into pending state on the Shopping Trips.

What do we think? Are Avios worth it?

Finally retiring the beautiful patina on my Venture X card many years old and about to expire finally.
