The verdict
On a typical year of household spending, the Capital One QuicksilverOne earns about $437 a year in rewards and the Capital One Venture X about $637, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The Capital One QuicksilverOne charges $39, which you clear through its rewards and perks. The Capital One Venture X charges $395, but carries about $500 in annual statement credits that offset it for anyone who uses them. Counting rewards, fees, and any credits, the Capital One Venture X delivers more total value, about $94 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it earns more where you spend most, on everything else and travel. Both earn transferable points rather than flat cash, so the deciding factor is whose transfer partners reach the airlines and hotels you would actually book. On the sign-up bonus, the Capital One Venture X currently has the larger welcome offer. A welcome bonus is a one-time event, so weigh it apart from the ongoing rewards.
Pick the Capital One Venture X if your spending leans toward dining, groceries, gas.
