Love the episode! Those CapitalOne shopping cashbacks do get crazy sometimes. We love cashing them out for Barnes and Noble gift cards to buy books for the kids. Also, an important note about the Venture X business card - authorized users don't get priority pass like the personal one. So for our family of 5, both my wife and I have our own Venture X business cards and we each bring in additional guests.

Great job! I always love your videos.

Good show

We don’t own a CapitalOne card in our household but it is on our radar for next year’s CC strategy. Excellent episode detailing out the CapitalOne program and its products. My family and I traveled to Vietnam earlier this year (DaNang) and absolutely loved it; we may go back in the next two years. Flew there on China Airlines (economy); was an ok flight experience. Chase and 5/24 is ridiculously overrated (sorry didn’t want to bring up Chase on a CapitalOne episode)…lmao

Serena, you should book that Hello Kitty flight! I actually transferred some Cap 1 Miles to Eva for Hello Kitty next year 😂 Monkey said she would be so happy to go on a Hello Kitty flight. I didn’t do the longest one though and hoping no changes next change. But I think it’ll be worth it ❤ Also, can’t wait to hear more on you guys Southeast Asia trip! Sounds so fun.

Capital One lounge is better then Centurion? What are you talking about? Have ever been to those 2 lounges in Denver? Centurion has way better options of food and drinks

Nicole was the reason why I decided to apply for the Venture X for my second card. I was hesitant with the large AF, but I don’t regret it all! I am so glad I got it when I did!

New subbie here. I’m so happy I found you guys🎉 Am I able to upgrade my Chase Freedom Flex to a Sapphire Reserved?

I believe you can transfer your Avios to Finnair as well! Great stuff guys

Why no love for the VentureOne? It has no AF, and it has access to the C1 transfer partners. Plus, you can convert Savor cash to VentureOne miles. It is a good option if you don't want to play the "Effective" AF game. Supplement it with the no AF US Bank Altitude Connect card for PP lounge access.

Thumbs up, How come they took 2 lounge passes from Venture Card? It help offset AF and I have it for catch all card, and next year I will have to pay to enter CP1 lounge so how does it code as restaurant or travel related? Was thinking if I could use purchase eraser on lounge access charge...

Nice show!! Between Capital One Venture X and Amex Blue business plus, which one do you recommend if no foreign transaction fee? I have both and am trying to figure out what to do. I have been using Amex just because I want Alaska points. After the merger completes when Amex MR points won't transfer to Hawaiian/Alaska, which card do you recommend between these two?

Purchase eraser can be used till 180 days. But needs to call cc if it's older than 90days

I will say Aviancas change/cancel fees are HIGH so make sure those are some solid plans!

Is that a High on a Hog wine bottle, Nicole? How was it?😂

I don’t use the preferred insurance by the airline/cruise. Best to go outside and either work with a travel agent or aggregator for best prices.

Wells Fargo does have 1 to 2 to Choice hotels

Love love love my Venture X! I got to fly Singapore and Cathay thanks to it. I do wish Capital had more consistent and generous transfer bonuses like AMEX, which is why I prefer using my AMEX Blue Business as my main catch all! But definitely still a keeper card tho overall 😊 Which card do you prefer as your catch all and why - Venture X or Blue Business? PS: I must go to the next west coast meet up since I can’t make the LA one! Haha

You was supposed to rent 4*4 car for $50 to $80 a day, and you can do this at the airport or even before you get to the mountain there are many rental locations where you can rent a car for $80 easily but it has to be cash, anyway if you guys travel there solely I highly suggest to just left your hand up at the border and 99% of the Omani people will get you up for free and in fact that they do this every day to the construction worker for free so i guess 100% for free then the tourist!

If u dont have a cap1 lounge, i would almost prefer getting 95$ venture or free spark miles 1.5x rather than X.

I heard that VA recently dropped some awesome saver deals. Since Miguel and Nicole recently lamented that they had a lot of miles “stuck” with Virgin, would love to hear if/what they booked.

@Nicole, my young adult just got the C1S1 student card this year (first cc in her name). I tried the pre-approval and while she didn’t qualify for the “regular” C1S1, she was approved for the student version, which has a smaller bonus and spending requirement.

You’re going to Vietnam? I’m so jealous! I hope you picked the right time of year to go because Saigon can be very hot and humid. Are you visiting other cities while you’re there (Da Nang, Hoi An, Hanoi, Sapa)? Would love to hear more about it.

We both have the Venture X. Luckily mine was an upgrade from the Venture and my husband was able to get it through applying.

My husband is my authorize user for venture X. I’m thinking of applying Venture X card for him so we each have one. Do we need to cancel his authorized card first before applying or leave it as is?

I’m more in Nicole‘s camp, oh by the way, I have a trip planned… I can only do one at a time or it’ll be massive overload and that would be good 😂

Happy 🎉friYAY!!! Nicole, I ♥️ your shirt! Congratulations!!!! My best use of Capital One Miles is the $300 Travel Credit - gifting to my family for 3N in Hongkong to visit Disneyland this winter 🙌🏼

No! You need to have a meet up on the East Coast!! 🤦🏽‍♀️

You guys helped me out. Mitch mentioned Singapore airlines from Newark NJ. I thought they were only in JFK. I looked and found two saver seats in July to Bangkok. Also it took me over a month to add my son to my EVA account. Their online paperwork gets rejected as outdated lol.

I went from the lower tier Capital one to the venture x for the free priority pass membership and the $300 credit. I am thinking of getting the business account. we’ll see. I love vietnam and I will be there next Spring for a month

Did the son use the venture x specific pre approval or the general capital one pre approval?

Re-watching again this episode… after 5 weeks of calls plus mailing a letter/documents to Barclays, Approved 🙌🏼 Thanks for the referral code from the LGTTP newsletter. 🎉 Oh em gee, Don’t even remember where are we planning to use these miles… this HI miles tastes so sweet now… 🧋🧋🧋lol

PH Zanzibar 😍

I just watched this twice before pressing the booking button for the non-refundable flight ticket. Mexico City for Día de los Muertos sounds like an incredible experience. I can’t wait to be there.

Andazzzz!! One of my favs. Stayed at San Diego and Delhi. Amazing upgrade and breakfast in Delhi for globalist.

With so many cards that have large sign on bonuses, but have an annual fee, how would it work in order to keep a large amount of cards? Would you close the cards and open new ones and transfer the points before hand? Is there a certain amount of cards you recommend to have throughout the year?

Great costumes guys! Quick question - with regards to credit card travel insurance, given that you guys do a lot of reward flights, do you buy insurance for those rewards flight? Or is there a way to get credit card insurance benefits on the points trips as well. Thanks

This team is so fun! Love the costumes and how much effort you put into this channel. BTW - we used your link for a Hawaiian card for P2. Thanks!

This episode was so entertaining and kept me laughing the whole time. Y'all make this hobby so much more fun and easier to understand! I'll just be returning from an international trip right before your LA Saturday meet-up but as soon as you announce your next meet-up, I'm putting it on my calendar. Thanks for the laughs while sharing such invaluable information!

Just FYI if you want to fly Starlux for less miles then Taipei to Tokyo, Osaka & Hanoi is only 15k in Biz Class, 10k PE and 7.5k Economy.

Thumbs up, Hilton for me...

Thumbs up 👍, Amex Platinum and Cap1 Venture stay in my wallet

Thumbs up 👍, My question would be what is the highest $ are you willing to pay to keep Amex Platinum Card

Thumbs up 👍, I at least use my CC every other month, would be hard for me to apply for a card and then stop using it after sub unless it didn't have AF

Mitch … I can’t watch you. You look too funny😂

Transferred my Amex points to Alaskan miles and booked starlux right away. Also, just got approved for the Hawaiian airline credit card! How exciting!!

Ya'll look great. We are hosting a Halloween party this evening as well so we will be dressed up shortly. I was on my morning run listening to another pod where it was mentioned that the CSR is no longer covering award trip bookings where they will only reimburse the cash value (taxes and fees) but not the points/miles utilized. Is this something ya'll are hearing as well? If so, I am considering downgrading as I only hold the CSR to cover my award travel bookings. When I pay cash for flights I usually utilize the Amex Platinum for round trip fares so I feel protected there. Nonetheless, I did pay for insurance on my award travel to Singapore due to the conection ground time (only 70 minutes in Seoul). Phenomenal show as always.

I have a Chase Ink Cash card with a business that I am about to close - do you have any recommendations on how to proceed? Would it be better to transfer the Ultimate Rewards points to my Sapphire Preferred card, close the current Chase Ink Cash card, and reapply for it using my SSN? How do you recommend reaching the minimum speed requirement for the Chase Ink card if I don’t have any upcoming spend but I do pay rent?

Great show guys!! 🎉 loved all the costumes. When the bank shut down your accounts, does that mean that the confiscate all your money ? Also, Nicole and Miguel mentioned that they did an 🎉upgrade from preferred to sapphire. Doesn’t that make them not eligible for the signing bonus?

Great episode! Thanks for the reminder again about the supplemental insurance for medical part. I signed up for a year but it ended so I need to rebuy too. Also, grand Hyatt Taipei is ok! Nothing happened for us. 🤗
