Capital Oneās 75,000-Mile Offer Comes With an Extra $300
Capital One is adding a sizable travel credit to its standard Venture Rewards bonus. New cardholders can currently earn 75,000 bonus miles after spending $4,000 within the first three months, plus a $300 credit for hotels and vacation rentals booked through Capital One Travel.
The card has a $95 annual fee.
Hereās what makes the current offer notable:
ā¢ 75,000 bonus miles: Spend $4,000 in the first three months to earn the welcome bonus. Capital One says the offer is currently available on its site.
ā¢ $300 stays credit: The additional credit can be used for eligible hotel and vacation rental bookings through Capital One Travel. It expires one year after account opening, so it isn't an ongoing annual credit.
ā¢ 2 miles per dollar: The Venture Rewards earns unlimited 2X miles on everyday purchases, while hotels, vacation rentals and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel earn 5X.
ā¢ 15+ transfer partners: Capital One miles can be transferred to more than 15 airline and hotel loyalty programs, giving travelers another way to use the rewards beyond the Capital One portal.
ā¢ Useful travel perks: The card also offers an up-to-$120 credit for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck, car rental coverage, no foreign transaction fees and other protections.
There are eligibility rules to watch. Capital One says applicants aren't eligible for the bonus if they've received a new-cardmember bonus on the Venture or Venture X within the previous 48 months.
The $300 credit is also more restrictive than some previous versions of the offer: it can't be used for flights or rental cars.
The smarter take: The headline offer is 75,000 miles, but the unusual part is the extra $300 stays credit. If you already expect to book a hotel or vacation rental through Capital One Travel during your first year, that restriction may be easier to work around.

Your K-Cup Has Been Sitting in a Warehouse for Months
That grocery store pod? It was roasted long before it hit the shelf. Coffee starts losing flavor within weeks of roasting ā which is why your morning cup tastes flat, no matter how nice your machine is.
Angelino's does it differently. A third-generation roaster in Los Angeles, they roast, grind, and seal every pod in-house for peak freshness, then ship it to your door within days of roasting. The difference is the first thing you'll notice: real aroma, real flavor, no bitterness.
Mix and match from 50+ specialty coffees, teas, and flavored blends ā all KeurigĀ®-compatible ā and save more with every box you add, up to 34% off at 12+. Order once whenever you're running low, or subscribe for an extra 5% if that's easier. Entirely up to you.

Citi Points Just Got a New Way to Fly for Less
Citi ThankYou points just became significantly more flexible for travelers who know how to use airline award charts.
Japan Airlines Mileage Bank is now a Citi transfer partner, and the partnership launched with a 30% transfer bonus through Oct. 24.
That means 1,000 eligible Citi points can become 1,300 JAL miles when transferred during the promotion.
But the real opportunity goes beyond flights to Japan.
ā¢ Business class to Japan: JAL prices some U.S.-Japan business-class awards at 55,000 miles one-way. With the 30% bonus, that's about 43,000 Citi points for a one-way business-class seat, plus taxes and fees.
ā¢ London for fewer miles: JAL also allows Mileage Bank members to book partner airlines. One example in the source shows a British Airways business-class round trip from Houston to London for 85,000 JAL miles. With the bonus, that's roughly 66,000 Citi points.
ā¢ Short domestic flights: JAL's distance-based partner pricing can produce unusual sweet spots. A HoustonāDallas round trip on American Airlines can cost 12,000 JAL miles, or about 10,000 Citi points with the current bonus.
ā¢ Don't transfer before finding an award: Citi transfers are generally irreversible, and JAL miles expire after 36 months. Award availability can also be limited.
ā¢ Open a JAL account early: JAL generally doesn't allow new members to redeem miles for awards within 60 days of opening an account. Creating an account ahead of time can avoid that restriction when an award becomes available.
The smarter take: The biggest opportunity here isn't simply getting to Japan. JAL's partner award pricing can unlock flights on airlines such as American, British Airways and Air France, sometimes at surprisingly low mileage rates. Just find the award before moving your Citi points.
