Why Venture X from Capital One is your ideal companion for wedding season

15.11.2023 - 21:13 / thepointsguy.com

Even though this year's wedding season is coming to an end, you're probably already saving the date (or dates?) for next year's round of nuptial celebrations. From bachelor and bachelorette parties to wedding showers, destination weddings to gift registries, there's no better time than the present to start planning for those future expenses.

And perhaps no card is better positioned for this endeavor than the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card.

With Venture X, you earn an unlimited 2 miles per dollar spent on every purchase — and even more on bookings through Capital One Travel — while enjoying other valuable benefits. It's the perfect card to maximize your rewards on those upcoming wedding-related costs — whether it's shopping for a gift, picking out your outfit or booking travel for a loved one's big day.

So whether you're the happy couple, a member of the all-too-important bridal party or a guest flying in from out of town, you're going to want to make use of the Capital One Venture X card.

One of the most valuable perks of Venture X is its $300 annual credit for purchases made through Capital One Travel. Using the $300 credit to book airfare or rent a car for an out-of-town wedding leaves money in your pocket for other expenses (terms apply).

Venture X also grants complimentary airport lounge access across the U.S. (and around the world) through its network of participating lounges. At Capital One Lounges, recharge with all-inclusive amenities like healthy, chef-inspired food and drinks that you can sit and savor — or grab snacks to go — before boarding your flight. You'll find locations in Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and — newly opened as of this year — Washington, D.C.'s Dulles International Airport (IAD) and Denver International Airport (DEN). You can view full access details at this page.

In addition, Venture X cardholders can activate a Priority Pass Select membership (terms apply), and they can also access Plaza Premium lounge locations.

And if you need a rental car to reach the wedding destination or to explore the surrounding area, Venture X also has you covered. For starters, you'll enjoy primary car rental coverage, meaning you'll be reimbursed for damage or theft when you pay for a rental car with the Venture X card (certain terms, conditions and exclusions apply; see Visa Infinite Guide to Benefits for details).

Additionally, you are eligible to enroll in complimentary Hertz President's Circle status, the highest level of membership in the Gold Plus Rewards program, through your Venture X card. You'll get access to the widest selection of rental vehicles and a car-class upgrade at participating locations
