    Editorial take: Capital One VentureOne

    The no-fee version of Venture. The 1.25x vs 2x is a real earnings hit, so only use this if you absolutely won't pay any annual fee, otherwise Venture pays back its $95 quickly.

    Editorial take: Aer Lingus Visa Signature

    Common questions

    Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, Capital One VentureOne or Aer Lingus Visa Signature?
    The Capital One VentureOne has a public bonus (20,000 miles, worth roughly $370), while the Aer Lingus Visa Signature doesn't advertise one right now.
    Is the Capital One VentureOne's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the Aer Lingus Visa Signature?
    The Capital One VentureOne has no annual fee, so the question is whether the Aer Lingus Visa Signature's $95 fee is justified by its perks. If you'll use enough of the Aer Lingus Visa Signature's benefits to clear $95 in value annually, it's worth it; otherwise stick with the Capital One VentureOne.
    Can I have both the Capital One VentureOne and Aer Lingus Visa Signature?
    Yes, since they're from different issuers (Capital One and Chase) the application rules don't conflict. Many points enthusiasts hold both, they pair well when one earns flexible bank points and the other earns a different currency.
    Should I get the Capital One VentureOne or the Aer Lingus Visa Signature first?
    Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Capital One VentureOne: $500 spend in 3 months. Aer Lingus Visa Signature: $5,000 in 3 months. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
