The short answer is: it depends. Capital One Venture is a World Elite Mastercard card. However, there is one Venture card that is a Visa Signature: the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card. The main difference between these two cards is their annual fee. The Capital One Venture charges a $95 annual fee, while the Capital One Venture X has a $395 fee per year. So it really comes down to personal preference whether you choose a Visa Signature or a World Elite Mastercard.
Capital One Venture vs. Capital One Venture X

| Initial Bonus | 75,000 miles for spending $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months | 75,000 miles for spending $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months |
| Network | Mastercard | Visa |
| Ongoing Rewards | 2 - 5 miles per $1 | 2 - 10 miles per $1 |

Visa chimes in with its Signature benefits, which amongst others include:

Both cards are very good travel rewards cards, but the Capital One Venture X is aimed at high spending frequent travelers.
