Contrary to what you may have been led to believe based on the trend in recent years, a premium travel card doesn't have to charge nearly $1,000 in annual fees to provide premium travel benefits — and the earning rates and benefits don't have to be complicated, either.
The Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card was the first premium card I added to my wallet when it first launched, and it has remained my one and only ever since.
In my opinion, it's an affordable option when compared to other premium travel cards. Not to mention, it retains easy-to-use perks like the $300 annual travel credit*, 10,000 bonus anniversary miles starting on your first anniversary and airport lounge access, and it earns 2 miles per dollar spent on every purchase.
