I want to open up a new credit card specifically with travel benefits. I only have an AmEx at this point. Someone recommended the Capital One Venture X card - would love to hear people's thoughts on this.

When you say travel benefits, do you mean that it earns points that are valuable for travel, or that it offers travel insurance-like protections, like trip cancellation, luggage insurance, etc.? Or both?

I guess both - I was thinking along the lines of flights, hotels, luggage, lounge access, etc.

No idea about "perks," although this is right up dansdeals.com 's alley, so you can probably get useful info there

capone can transfer to avios and you can find cheaper flights with their partners - ex. united for 5-10k points
