Unlock Venture X Global Entry and Travel Rewards

Unlocking the benefits of Venture X Global Entry and Travel Rewards is easier than you think. With Global Entry, you can expedite your customs process when returning to the US, saving you time and hassle.

You can apply for Global Entry through the Trusted Traveler Programs (TTP) website, which costs $100 for a five-year membership. This fee can be reimbursed by some credit cards that offer Global Entry as a benefit.

By enrolling in Global Entry, you'll also be eligible for TSA Precheck, which allows you to speed through airport security lines. This can be a huge time-saver, especially during peak travel seasons.

You can use the $120 credit to sign up anyone you wish, not just yourself, as long as they pay the application fee with your card.

This credit can be used to sign up family members or friends, making it a great benefit for those who travel frequently with others.

The credit is triggered by the charge to the card, without respect to who is using it, so you can take advantage of this perk for multiple people.

Membership in Global Entry is good for five years, and this benefit renews every four years on your Venture X Card.

With Global Entry, you'll also get a fast pass through customs and immigration when you're coming back to the U.S., making international travel a breeze.

Travel Rewards are a big part of what makes the Venture X Global Entry so valuable. The card earns a generous 2 miles per dollar on all eligible purchases, and 5 miles per dollar on flights and vacation rentals booked through Capital One Travel.

If you book flights or hotels directly, you'll still earn double miles on all other purchases with the Venture X card. This means you'll earn at least 2 miles per dollar spent, no matter what you're buying.

You can also earn 10 miles per dollar on hotels and rental cars when booking via Capital One Travel. This is a great perk for travelers who plan to rent cars or stay in hotels during their trips.

The Venture X card also offers an annual travel credit of $300, valid toward any travel purchase made through the Capital One Travel portal. This credit can be a huge help when it comes to booking flights, hotels, or other travel expenses.

In addition to these rewards, the Venture X Global Entry also offers up to $120 in credit toward the application fee for TSA PreCheck or Global Entry every four years. This credit can be used to sign up anyone you wish, not just yourself.

The TSA PreCheck credit is a fantastic benefit of the Venture X Global Entry card. You can receive up to $120 in reimbursement for the application fee, which can be a huge time-saver and stress-reducer when traveling.

This benefit is especially valuable if you're a frequent traveler, as it can save you 10 minutes or more in security lines. To put that into perspective, if you're trying to get to the gate before boarding starts, you'll want to give yourself 10 minutes to get through security and 5 minutes to get to the gate.

The TSA PreCheck credit can be used to sign up anyone you wish, including family members or friends, as long as they pay the application fee using your card. This makes it a great benefit for families or groups who travel together.

You can apply for TSA PreCheck at Staples office supply stores, or directly on the TSA website. Either way, simply pay your application fee with your Venture X card, and Capital One will automatically reimburse you up to $120 for the charge.

The reimbursement is triggered by the charge to the card, without respect to who is using it. This means you can use the credit to sign up multiple people, as long as they pay the application fee using your card.

To get started with Global Entry, apply on the Customs and Border Protection website, or for TSA PreCheck, apply directly on the TSA website.

The application fee for either program is up to $120, but don't worry, Capital One will automatically reimburse you for the charge with your Venture X card.

You can also use this benefit to sign up a friend or family member instead of yourself, and the credit will still be triggered by the charge to your card.

To get TSA PreCheck or Global Entry, simply pay the application fee with your Venture X card, and Capital One will reimburse you up to $120.

To register for TSA PreCheck, start by signing up on the TSA website. You'll pay the $85 membership fee, which is valid for five years, and get fingerprinted and undergo a background check.

The application fee is a one-time payment that you'll make with your credit card, and Capital One will automatically reimburse you up to $120 for the charge. This means you won't have to pay out of pocket for the application fee.

You can also use this benefit to sign up a friend or family member, as the credit can be used for anyone, not just the cardholder. This is a great perk, especially if you have family members who travel frequently.

TSA PreCheck has many benefits, including not having to remove your shoes, laptop, small liquid containers, belts, and light jackets during security screening. You'll also get to use a separate line at security checkpoints, which can save you a lot of time.

In fact, 92% of PreCheck members waited less than five minutes to get through security in May 2018, according to TSA reports. This is a significant advantage over regular security lines.

You can also consider enrolling in Global Entry, which includes TSA PreCheck membership and allows you to speed through customs and immigration when returning to the U.S. This is a great option if you travel internationally frequently.

To register for Priority Pass with your Capital One Venture X card, log in to your Capital One online account and go to the “Explore rewards and benefits” option.

It's worth noting that it takes roughly 12 hours after registering your card to be able to use your Venture X Card at each lounge to get in.

Redemption options for the Capital One Venture X card are incredibly flexible. You can redeem miles toward past travel purchases, such as flights, hotel stays, and more.

With Capital One Travel, you can use your miles to make travel bookings directly through the portal. This is a great option if you want to book travel and earn miles at the same time.

You can also transfer miles to over a dozen loyalty programs of major airlines and hotels, including travel partners like British Airways Executive Club, Emirates Skywards, and Virgin Red.

If you'd rather have cash, you can redeem miles for a check or statement credit. This is a good option if you need the cash for something else.

Another option is to redeem miles for gift cards, which can be a thoughtful way to use your miles if you have a specific gift in mind.

Here are the redemption options in a nutshell:

Keep in mind that redemption rates can vary depending on the option you choose. For travel-related redemptions, the rate is typically one cent per mile, so 10,000 Venture miles equals $100.

Purchase Security is a valuable benefit offered by Capital One Venture. It protects your items in case of theft or damage, covering you up to a maximum of $10,000 per item and $50,000 per year.

You don't need to have paid the full price of the item with your Venture X credit card to be eligible for this benefit. You can make a claim if you've paid for at least part of the item with your card.

Capital One Venture customers can apply for TSA PreCheck or Global Entry and receive up to $120 back as a statement credit on their account.

The statement credit can be used to sign up anyone you wish, including family members or friends, just by having them pay the application fee using your card.

TSA PreCheck is easier to get than ever before, with enrollment now available at Staples office supply stores, so you don't even have to go to the airport.
