Avelo Airlines is a newer low-cost carrier that started up (or rebranded?) during the pandemic. I’ve seen their planes once or twice in an airport but haven’t paid much attention to them. Apparently, that’s where Capital One and I differ because, only available through the Avelo Airlines website, Capital One is offering a new welcome bonus on the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card that includes Avelo benefits and a statement credit for an Avelo purchase in the first year.

Quick Thoughts
This offer is only different the the general public offer in that it includes priority boarding on Avelo and the statement credit when you make an Avelo purchase in the first year. In other words, there is no benefit for someone who doesn’t plan to fly Avelo.
At the same time, it doesn’t hurt to apply through this offer and we’ve replaced our best offer link with this one because if you want the Venture card you may as well open it under this offer just in case you end up buying an Avelo flight in your first year. If you do happen to live in a market served by Avelo and you fly them even occasionally, the priority boarding and statement credit could obviously be nice.
I’d rather have the Venture X card long-term since that card has better long-term value given the anniversary miles and statement credits toward Capital One Travel purchases, but I could imagine this deal being worth it for someone who could take advantage of the Avelo part of the offer.
H/T: Miles Earn and Burn

Any DP of people being declined when pre-approved? C1 hasn’t been kind to me this far and I’m hesitant to burn 3 hard pulls for another rejection
Hey Nick, here are all the destinations served by Avelo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Avelo_Airlines_destinations
They have 3 home bases: Burbank, CA; New Haven, CT; and Orlando, FL. Raleigh, NC will be a new base on February 2023. If you live or travel through those airports, this version of the Venture X could be a winner.
