Capital One has introduced the Visigoth back into modern times. The Visigoths are a Germanic tribe very similar to Vikings. According to the Britannica online Encyclopedia the Visigoth is a member of a division of the Goths . One of the most important of the Germanic peoples, the Visigoths separated from the Ostrogoths in the 4th century ad, raided Roman territories repeatedly, and established great kingdoms in Gaul and Spain.
In these Capital One commercials, viewers see the Viking-like trade characters, the Visigoths, using their Capital One Venture cards to earn Double Miles so they can earn vacations faster.
These commercials then show the Visigoths vacationing in various places, while encountering familiar vacation mishaps or truly conquering the places they're visiting. Perhaps not every viewer has experienced needing to itch their back on a cactus, or toppling a sand castle on the beach but the purchases the Visigoths make to repair things they have broken while on vacation still earns them double miles.
