You not renewing? I saw the venture card but I'm pretty deep into the chase game with multiple biz cards. Combining points to maximize reward value

CSR is my main card for travel and cashing out. Then I use the Ink Preferred and Ink Cash cards. Also used the freedom last for any PayPal purchases for 5%.
Haven't done much traveling though so just building points back up

That apple card is lit when buying apple products... I'm mad late.
Just bought my wife an apple watch on it, gave me back cash fast. My other credit cards take like two weeks to process..
I'm about to buy tickets to San Francisco so, thanks for the reminder to check my cards to see which ones best.

Get credit limit increases on your other cards. Lowers your utilization
Actually got the citi card back in October since it had a nice sign up bonus and I was about to make a large purchase so took advantage of it

I'd have a Venture X card if you didn't have to use the Capital One portal to take advantage of the multipliers.

It seems OK from what I’ve seen and they promised they are adding partners

Dealing with portals can be a PITA. A random flight cancellation will have you wishing that you never bothered with it.

AMEX going hard right now. Sign up for Platinum and get 150K points if you spend $6K in six months. I just took the plunge because it made sense. Have major purchases coming up.

They just got me with the 150K mail offer too.
Mainly just got it cause the plat looks real nice contrasted with the black leather patina on the wallet.
The rewards are straight but the perks are pretty terrible when you really break it down, but I'll still be able to recoup that $695 and I'll make heavy use of the lounge access.

I get that. I always just rolled with Gold. But, this offer was too good to pass up. Plus, lounge access is key when I do travel. even if infrequent, that makes it worth it.
