It's easy to earn bonus rewards on most purchases. For example, most of my purchases fall into the travel, gas, dining and grocery bonus categories offered by many of the best rewards credit cards .

However, you may occasionally need to make a purchase that doesn't fall into a bonus category on any of your cards. You don't have to settle for earning just 1 point per dollar (or 1% cash back) on these purchases, though. Instead, you can use one of the best credit cards for everyday spending .

One of our favorite everyday spending cards here at The Points Guy is the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card . So, I decided to see just how many types of purchases I could come up with that wouldn't earn bonus rewards on most of the best rewards credit cards, but would earn at least 2 miles per dollar spent with the Capital One Venture Rewards. Here's what I found.

Since the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card earns at least 2 miles per dollar spent on every eligible purchase, you don't have to worry about how each purchase will be coded.

This makes it an appealing option if you prefer to consolidate to a single card, or if you simply need an everyday spending card for purchases that don't earn more bonus rewards when made with other cards.

Plus, the Capital One Venture Rewards Card earns Capital One miles , which you can redeem at a fixed value or transfer to airline and hotel transfer partners . This gives you a lot of flexibility when redeeming your hard-earned rewards.

Now, let's consider some purchases that generally earn only the base rewards rate on most of the best travel rewards cards and cash-back cards . Of course, all of these purchases would still earn at least 2 miles per dollar spent with the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card .
