Why This Combo?
This combination targets cost-conscious shoppers who split purchases between Amazon, Costco, and occasional travel needs.
- Amazon Prime Visa gives 5% back at Amazon.com and Whole Foods for Prime members, plus 2% at restaurants/gas stations and 1% elsewhere.
- Costco Anywhere Visa offers 4% back on gas (up to $7,000 per year), 3% on dining/travel, 2% at Costco, and 1% on everything else. No annual fee (though a Costco membership is required).
- Capital One VentureOne Rewards adds a no-annual-fee travel element with 1.25 miles per dollar on all purchases (5x on hotels/rental cars booked through Capital One Travel), no foreign transaction fees, and a 0% intro APR period on purchases and balance transfers.
Used together, you'll earn top-tier rewards in common spending categories (online shopping, groceries, gas, dining) and still have a card devoted to travel-perfect for occasional trips without paying a separate annual fee for premium perks.
