    Thus began my search for a credit card that would help me fund my travel habit and still allow me to cover my other necessities, like food.

    I started with the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card<br /> </span> , mostly because those commercials were so alluring. This card did me proud, helping me to cover a number of adventures including a cruise in the Bahamas and a trip to Iceland, but soon I was lured away by a mailer (I was very affected by advertising during this period, apparently) to the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-analytics-product-module="commerce_link" href="http://www.businessinsider.com/reviews/out?platform=browser&postSource=bi%7C5cb9e131ac92a13577079d8e&sc=false&type=LINK-WITH-REVIEW-SLASH-OUT&u=https%3A%2F%2Foc.brcclx.com%2Ft%2F%3Flid%3D26679698%26cr%3D28039%26last_updated%3D1598307203" data-analytics-module="body_link">Discover it® Miles</a>.</p> <p><em><strong>Read more: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/chase-sapphire-preferred-vs-capital-one-venture" rel="noopener" data-analytics-module="body_link">Capital One Venture vs Chase Sapphire Preferred: How to decide which travel rewards credit card is best for you</a></strong></em></p> <p>My strategy at this point was to essentially try on a couple of different cards until I found the one I liked the best … <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/what-affects-credit-score" rel="noopener" data-analytics-module="body_link">credit score</a> be damned.
