    I understand you only get priority boarding for the card holder not for your companion and you get two free check bags every trip because I seen other things posted that say for it’s only for certain flights.

    To be fair Capital One did announce at the end of 2023 that the Venture would be losing lounge access. They gave over a year of notice so it wasn’t a sudden change. But without that benefit I think the Venture X makes more sense for most people. For the Venture to work you really have to be big into the Capital One ecosystem and utilizing their travel portal, dining experiences, and entertainment offerings.

  • @Randoontheinternet_11
    @Randoontheinternet_11 8 днів тому

    In my opinion, having airline loyalty is only necessary if you don’t have any real competition at your airport and or if your job reimburses you for your travel. I’m happy you used EWR as your example. Only airline cards and day passes get you into any of those lounges. United also doesn’t seem too bothered by any of the other airlines that use EWR and their prices (cash or rewards) show that. Lastly with any airline card, there’s only really a few things worth looking at and that’s how many checked bags we get, companion pass (if available) and lounge access. It seems you’re also in the NYC area so I look forward to future vids man.

  • @Randoontheinternet_11
    @Randoontheinternet_11 8 днів тому

    Yeah, I’ve definitely had application regret. I’ve seriously looked at the venture card as a serious CFU replacement even after capital one removed the lounge access. In my opinion C1 cards compliment other ecosystems, not replace them. Lean hard into the purchase erasure feature (statement credit) combined with capital one offers (Don’t confuse it with C1 shopping). There’s often some really large bonuses so you can quickly build some miles. Once you have them, put the flight taxes and fees, hotel room and or room charges in there and erase it.

    It's only good for the SUB and when paired with rh Venture X. After the first year - cancel it! I opened this last night and it goes along with my Venture X and Savor (OG) Card. SUB, SUB, and more SUB.

    Since you have a non WF checking account, can you explain the point redemption. Is it a statement credit? Does point redemption count towards one of the 4 payment limits per month?

    • @FinanceBroseph
      @FinanceBroseph 11 днів тому

      Great question- point redemption for WF is in the form of a statement credit when using points for that, and point redemption doesn't count as one of 4 monthly payment from a non-WF account which gives a bit more flexibility (although the 4 to begin with can be a bit of an annoyance)

  • @ApexReserve

    Here’s my hot take: there absolutely a right answer here. You should never be loyal to any corporation. They have no idea who you are and don’t care either. You’re a number on a spreadsheet to them. Grab whatever transferable point currency card you prefer and have at it. Don’t be loyal to the issuer either. Never be afraid to dump one corporation for another - they would do the same to you in a heartbeat.

    I’ve never understood the point to the Venture. I get the Venture One (to keep a setup NAF) and the Venture X. The Venture takes $95 away from you and gives you nothing back to offset the fee annually. With Wells Fargo you can pair two NAF cards - the Active Cash for a 2x catch all and the Autograph for a ton of 3x categories - and still be able to transfer out. For free. Sure, the transfer partners aren’t as good with WF as they are with Chase and Amex, but you can get the same value as you can with Cap 1 when working the mid to low tier partners.

    Why does so many people care so much about Welcome Bonus, it’s just a one time deal and everything is down hill from there. Like the ride share , 10 dollars pre month. Why they can’t give you the whole 120 at one time and when it’s gone it’s gone.

    If I get a Amex gold now and get my points before a flight that I have done reserved for the end of April can I use my points to upgrade to first class and still get the $50 discount per 5000 points used even though I paid for my flight already with money and not points ? I guess what I’m asking is do I get the discount for using points to upgrade seats ?

    • @FinanceBroseph
      @FinanceBroseph 11 днів тому

      In all honesty, you might have a couple options- 1) use points to upgrade to first once you meet the sign up bonus/ get points (although you won't get an additional discount on the upgrade) 2) look to reprice the flight where they'll give you a credit for the amount paid and then you can either rebook with just miles or money + miles Either are viable options and sometimes you may end up getting a better deal when repricing

    The AA credit cards that Barclays has used to be U.S. Airways credit cards then American Airlines bought U.S. Airways so the Barclays cards were converted to AA cards. This is a simialr reason why Chase and Amex have Marriott cards. The Marriott credi cards that Amex has used to be Starwoods hotel cards then Marriott bought Starwoods hotels so the Starwoods hotel cards were converted to Marriott hotel cards.

    If gas is really a big spend category for you, 2x United miles per dollar spent at gas stations isn’t great (unless you’re getting really huge value out of United miles). Tons of cards give 2x back on all purchases, and other cards will do 3, 4, or 5x back on targeted categories (like gas)

    A premium Citi card would likely be a game changer. People sleep on them, but they have the best earning cards with very little category overlap. I just completed the quadfecta and am currently working on the last SUB for that set up. A fifth card would be awesome.

    • @FinanceBroseph
