@@changlee4129I believe you must wait 6 months between capital one cards. That may also only be the case if you’re denied when applying. Should be easy to look up on capitals website.

I've said it for years, but the Savor One is one of the most underrated cards around. There's so much value there, plus no foreign transaction fee and travel benefits too. It's rare to get all that in a no annual fee card. It gives the Chase Freedom Flex a good run for its money. Thanks Dan.

Same here. Used to get so much hate on these channels. They all wanted to act like they're approve capital one lol. AMEX approving them for "platinum" made them feel special. Then they look at paying the AF for the 3rd or 4th time and it hits them... Or they realize they have a ton of chase cards with the same bonus categories 🤣

Daniel, ive been binge watching your videos the last 2 months or so and its helped me so much! Ive already comitted to the chase trifecta, but this seems like a great next step. Awesome video, and common Daniel Braun W

I'm currently running this setup and agree that it's super underrated. Great video Daniel!

Wow, this Capital One Duo setup is truly a hidden gem! It's amazing how effective it is, yet it doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Thanks for shedding light on this underrated combo!

Thanks Daniel!! Love your videos! Tons of info and you drop the strategy/logic behind it. Have been researching a ton of cards and sort of have been leaning towards these two cards as a stack, but this video pushed me over! Applying now to venture x lol

So a couple things. Captial one has this dumb rule that you cant apply for a new credit card with capital one for 6 months since the last application you did, so if you dont have any of these cards already it can take 6 months to do. Another thing worth mentioning is that the portal of capital is powered by Hopper. For those that are travel savy will know how important that tidbit is ;)

With a great set of travel benefits for little to no cost AND a solid all-round earner, the two cards work so well together. The Uber perk on the SavorOne is such a major cherry on top too. Another perk that's kindof hidden is that the Priority Pass has no limit on the number of guests you can bring in too! As always, awesome review Daniel!

The Cap One Duo is definitely competing hard with the Chase & AMEX Trifecta as the 👑of Credit Card Setups with the ability to convert Savor One Cash Back into Venture X miles, and getting those fantastic point multipliers & travel benefits offsetting the fee. Great coverage in this one Daniel!

The Venture X and Savor One are Capital One's saving graces in my opinion. They aren't my favorite lender, but they did it right with these cards. The ability to convert your cash back on your Savor One to miles on your Venture X really unlocks a lot of value from this duo considering how many categories the Savor One covers in addition to the 2x miscellaneous category on the VX. Great call on this one Daniel! p.s. I bet you had a good time in Austin... I hear some cool folks live there 👀

It’s simple, and a lot of people want simple. I also have a soft spot for them because they were my first card… a long time ago. In a decade far far away.

I 100% agree. I wish they could add a 5% category to the quicksilver. Or even 2% back with a monthly limit. If they add priority pass and some sort of credit to the Venture it would still be kinda worth it. It seems pointless rn.

Жыл бұрын

This is such a good setup and a very possible alternative to Amex! Thanks for watching Stan!

I received the venture x in April. I just applied and was approved for the savor one. I had the Amex gold but I am cancelling the card now because the savor one does just about the same of what the Amex gold does. Oh yeah, and there’s no 250$ fee. I know you can use the credits and make it a 10$ fee but I find myself going out of my way to use the credits. I like things to be very simple so this duo will probably be the one I use for years to come.

Ok I also got denied for the Savor One and couldn’t figure out as to why other than having opened others accounts earlier this year but I didn’t know CO was more rigid about their approvals. I always thought they’d be easy to get since my first ever card was their platinum. But I’m glad to see it happens to others too. I’m gonna just have to wait till the end of the year and apply for it again.

I have these two cards and the Bilt Mastercard. Perfect setup for my spending habits and I'm being given $5 to do it!

No hate, but I remember seeing vids of you talking about how you disliked the Venture X and Capital One and saying how people should use Chase instead. Glad to see you finally talking about the Venture X and this duo positively now.

Hey Daniel, love your channel and all your content..you are the reason i started on my CC points journey! I asked Spencer this also but I have an interesting question … want to see what you would choose and why. For your cellphone bill, would you rather use the BILT and use the cellphone protection, or the INK cash to activate that 5x points category? I have both cards but split between what’s the better choice here! PS I’m team travel

Very interesting setup. I just got my venture x last month, and started to look really hard at my saphire reserve. With a savor or savor 1, I pretty much would replace all the benefits chase currently offers me. After 5+ years of the saphire reserve and that bump from 450 to 550 I'm starting to wonder if it's worth keeping.

Great video and detailed as always! Question, which software do you use to edit your videos? Just curious. Also, 6'7" here! 🙂

Hey Daniel, think you can make a video discussing the benefits of being an authorized user and being a primary cardholder? I've been watching different videos on the subject, but no other channel breaks down Credit Card info as good as you.

I got the chase trifecta with the SP. I'm leaning heavily towards the CapitalOnebifecta since I already have the Savor one. I can't justify the AMEX Gold because I wouldn't use any of the monthly benefits. I never use Uber eats and am not starting just because of the card and the dining credit is the same thing. At least with the Venture x credit I know I will be putting it to work day one

I just got approved a few days ago, but sadly a $500 starting limit for the Savor One. Its definitely like having the Amex Gold card in regards to points towards dining and groceries in a way.

If you get mail all the time about pre approval for the quicksilver card. You could apply and get that card since you’re pre approved, then upgrade to venture x if they’ll let you or ask to switch to the savor one card. My guess is the savor one card is your best best to switch to from the quicksilver

I just upgraded my Capital One Platinum Card to a SavorOne and I can’t complain. I’m a student so I still won’t apply for the Venture X but I’m keeping an open mind for it in the future.

I have both cards Venture X and Savor… I love them both. I guess I have a leg up because I was grandfathered into no annual fee for the Savor since I got it before they implemented a fee.

Hi Daniel, I am a big fan of your videos! I currently have the Capital One Quicksilver as my only card. I am at the beginning of my credit card journey. I have had the card for three months now and am starting to think about which card to get next. Any thoughts? I am still in school but want to prioritize earning points in order to travel in the future. Also, what do you suggest I use the quicksilver for once I get the other card you suggest I get? Thanks!

I got accepted for the Savor One and I’m going for the Venture X when I’m fully stable in a few years.

Deciding between this and Chase trifecta. Planning on transitioning to Amex eventually so I'm iffy about the Savor One since its rewards overlap with the Amex gold

Love using the venture X. I dont really find the travel portal that frustrating like people say. I got to baseball games ever now and then using points I earn- as well as hotels for the weekend when I travel with my wife. I just got accepted for the savor one. Looking forward to the simplicity. Planning to use it for dining n groceries etc. hate to admit but I’ve learned a lot with capital one. I was considering Amex options but chose to keep it simple.

Hi Daniel. I have the Venture X and Citi Custom Cash (and many others!), but not the Savor One. I like the simplicity of the setup, but I have many cards, and they have overlapping categories, so I think I need to pass on Savor for now. This might have been perfect earlier in the game. Hope all is well.

Will you please make a video about downgrading cards? And which cards from each of the major credit card companies can be downgraded to which no annual fee cards? There is not a video with all of that info in one place anywhere on youtube.

I’m one month in with the Duo and can confirm this is perfect for anyone working abroad. Zero FT fees and 2-3x on everything you can pay with card. Also, Cash Back can only be transferred to Miles on the website, not in the app. That took a bit to figure out. So, to summarize: 💵💶💷💳🤑

ON your redemption example, I feel like one thing that isn't talked about enough is that there are often bonuses to transfer to BA or Virgin Atlantic so if you watch for those and transfer when you get a 30% bonus you would have only needed to transfer 17k miles instead of 22k which would have been over 5 cents per mile. I recently did this for business class from Barcelona to JFK through VA. Ticket was 48,500 miles so I transferred 38k. Even if you figure only $2500 for a cash price that is over 6.5 cents per mile.

I got approved for the Venture Rewards card a few months ago. Wish I knew about the SavorOne card before finally deciding to go all in chase 🙃

I still think the best plan for me is to open a Venture account, get the sub (same as VX sub) which is 7 years of af, use the TSA credit to make the first year free and switch to the Venture X in a couple years.

Hey Daniel! I've been learning alot about credit card from your channel! I never really learned much before until now. I am 31years old and still using my student card from wells fargo when I was 16 years old. Looking to try out the Capital One duo Venture X and SavorOne. I have pretty good credit (been hovering between 750-780 for the last few years), and always paid my balance in full since I've had the card. I read that Captial One only lets you open 1 card per 6 months. If this is the case, which one should I open first? The SavorOne or the Venture X. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks!

I have a middle score of 770 and got declined for venture X. Called customer service and since I had a credit freeze for security purposes, all I had to do was remove them and re-apply. Most cards you only need to unfreeze one bureau not all three. My first credit denial in years if not EVER lol. 😂 I will reapply soon. I closed my Amex platinum due to lounge overcrowding, the annoying airline credit that’s hard to use, the hotel credit that’s limited and the hefty $695 fee. The venture X is essentially a free card that pays you $5/year to have it.

I use it like I use my Sapphire Preferred and my Freedom - I use Sapphire for Dining and Freedom for the 5%, then I use Savor One for Groceries and Venture as a catch all for all non-targeted categories.

Ugh! Capital One has been a nightmare in terms of approval of cards. Thank goodness i only need the two cards 😁

Just got approved for savor 1. $3000 credit limit!

I have this exact same set up been using them for a while now great way of building up miles fast especially with that 10% Uber eats i usually just do pick up instead of delivery. Only problem is C1 is terrible at giving you a high credit limit especially on the S1. I've had it for over 3 years now and still stuck at 1k. I always pay in full, never miss a payment and constantly at the edge of maxing it out due to me travelling a lot for work and using perdiem to cover my food charges on the card.

What do you think of the Alaska Airline Credit Card Daniel? thank you

I feel like something nobody talks about when it comes to Capital One is that their travel portal is powered by Hopper. Haven’t booked any flights since Covid, but hopper always seemed to have the cheapest bookings available back then so I’d be more inclined to “trust” the value of C1’s travel portal.

Any thoughts on Venture One and SavorOne setup? Are there still benefits to be had in transferring SavorOne rewards to the Venture One?

Do you have any suggestions what options that could get Global Entry included with a new travel card if you already have travel card?

So I’m brand new to credit cards. I just applied for a capital one venture one card due to the fact that I life pretty far away from my parents and would like to visit them often. I didn’t find this channel until after I was approved. Was this a good option?

Would it be better (if it matters at all) to get the Venture X or Savor One first?

Never really consider capital one for travel, I have the quicksilver, should I product change it to the savor one, then get venture x?

I’m debating on getting the Citi premier (Strata now) and the custom cash, but perhaps getting the Savor One might be the better way to go to pair up with my Venture X? Thoughts? Still worth getting if you have the AMEX Gold?

Should I apply for the venture x first, then Savour 1? Or can I get both at the same time?

Would you sign up for the savor one or venture x first?

For the venture x $300 credit (coupon now), do I have to book the flight before my card anniversary OR travel before my annviersary? In other words, can I book a flight but not travel until 2025 or do I have to book and travel by September 2024 assuming I apply today? Idk if this makes sense 😅

Great video Daniel! Too bad Capital One seems to be hit or miss with who gets approved for the Venture X....

I would think this duo was perfect if it wasn’t for the Capital One portal. That’s a deal breaker for me. Booking directly with the airline saved me thousands of dollars. You can get price adjustments any time and I rely on that.
