    UPDATE: As of recently, the Venture X Priority Pass is limited to 2 guests now unfortunately...
    ❓Do you have the Capital One Venture X, or plan to get one? Why or why not? 👇

    • @nomad_333_
      @nomad_333_ Місяць тому

      I have it because of their travel portal(which has price match), the $300 travel coupon, the hertz membership and PRIORITY PASS! 2x across all spending is a solid plus as well.

    • @youngalwyn1124

    Capital One will price match as well, so that + the 10X on hotels can be very advantageous.

    • @KevinYang
      @KevinYang  Місяць тому

      Yes! The travel portal itself has so many benefits too. Have you had a price match experience?

    • @ryanccc777
      @ryanccc777 Місяць тому +2

      @ yes, the only caveat is if you sign up to be a “member” of say IHG which is free to do and get “member pricing” they won’t match.

      AU is the way to go, I just opened a third C1 card I will mess with moving cl’s around in the future to make a 10K card. I will be curious to see if an upgrade offer pops up for the Venture X on my Venture card once I make it a 10K cl I hear it is possible.

    I have the VX and been using it as a catch all for a couple months now. I especially like the visa infinite purchase/return protections, so I feel safe buying stuff with it. In addition the cell phone protection on it is great and I don't miss out on any pts than if I were to use something like the Bilt/Amex platinum/chase freedom flex.
    Recently I've branched out to the Amex Blue Business Plus as a secondary catch all card, because the 2% Amex MR pts are a bit more valuable than the 2% capital one miles. I mainly use this for catch all situations where I'm not paying for anything that needs purchase protection (e.g. paying for Internet, toll booths funds, utilities, cloud storage subscriptions)

    Doesn’t Capital One travel do price match as well? I believe if you tell them about the cheaper priced flight, as long as you show them a screenshot, you should be able to get that price matched I believe.

    Quick question. Do you book Hertz Car Rentals via C1 travel portal ? If so, from your experience did Hertz honor your President’s status number when picking up the rental?

    Can you cover the Venture X trip protection benefits? Looking at the Venture X guide to benefits, the trip cancellation coverage only mentions “common carriers” and defines them as transportation, but does not have wording for lodging. Their document seems to exclude hotels unlike other providers’ guides to benefits.
    I tried to calling the number in the benefits guide to confirm but since I don’t have the card (no card number to give them) they were not able to help me. Would love to know if you can confirm if their trip protection includes or excludes hotels.

      With reference to the two card rule I think it is mostly a myth. I personally know someone very well who has four Capital One cards. Venture, venture X, venture one and the kohl’s card. This person has very high spend (C1 is main credit card) and about 100k in CL with C1. BoL

      Triple pull for a QS for “good credit”? I agree. But the VX is well worth the triple pull (though it would be nice if they could be like other issuers & not do that 🙂).

      There's no bait and switch....just people mistaking the good credit version for the rewards versions. I don't blame people for confusing it because the good credit bad/excellent thing has always been confusing. But technically its not a bait and switch.....
      in my book everyone has to get the venture x if not for anything at least the bonus. Its a great card that doesn't opperate around coupons. I say even for those who don't like the card at least get the bonus then u can leave captial one do what ever u want but never pass up the X bonus......
