Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card
This card is for frequent travelers who want lounge access without a four-digit fee. It earns 2X on everything, 10X on hotels and rental cars and 5X on flights and vacation rentals booked through Capital One Travel. The $300 travel credit and 10,000 anniversary miles offset most of the $395 annual fee. The caveat: the travel credit only works inside Capital One Travel.
