Compare Cards / Capital One Venture X vs Citi Strata Elite
Capital One Venture X vs. Citi Strata Elite
Two premium travel cards that both lean on portal bookings, but structure the bet differently. Venture X keeps it simple — flat 2x everywhere plus a $300 travel credit that covers most of its $395 fee — while Strata Elite charges $200 more, at $595, for steeper portal rates and a longer, more conditional list of credits.
