As AnthonyBove pointed out below, the Capital One Venture X $300 Travel Credit does NOT earn points on the purchase anymore. Looks like not only was I wrong about the Venture X but also I was wrong about how that credit works. So please ignore the whole part from 7:18 - 7:47. So NOT kudos to you, Capital One. Instead the $300 travel credit works by lowering the total amount in the Capital One Tavel portal. So if you want a $600 flight, you'll only pay $300 with your Venture X and get 10x on that $300 (not the entire $600 as it was before). Thank you again for calling out my oversight.

Was gonna come here to comment that this was changed 2-3 months ago at least. It’s a travel discount more than a travel credit these days. But hey, at least you can still earn FF miles from the airline you purchase the ticket from via portal right ?

The Venture X definitely makes a ton of sense, especially if you simply can utilize the $300 Travel Credit + put the Bonus Miles to use. Just got approved for it myself and excited to put it to use. Using the Venture X at Costco with them only taking Visa like you said is honestly a low-key great benefit haha. Great video Chase!

Got my tsa precheck before from capital one venture and due to the pandemic it was extended for 6 years.

I held off on this card because I didn't see where I could get real value from it. That is, until I visited the DFW Capital One Lounge! You can still get 2 free visits with the regular Venture card so I decided to check it out and I loved it. I had a 3-hour layover so all the free food and cocktails were so nice plus I was able to grab to-go food that fed me for the rest of my trip. I felt so refreshed for my 2nd flying leg. As soon as I got home from that trip I applied for the Venture X lol

Congratulations Chase! I hope you enjoy the card. In my experience, if I’m flying AA, I would set my layover to DFW if the timing and price are right. More often than not, DFW has been my choice of AA hub for these reasons. This makes it easier to enjoy the C1 Lounge. Some of the reasons why I’d go with DFW over other AA hubs include that they can be more expensive than going through DFW, require overnight stays or 2 layovers, have very short layovers, or are airports I’d generally want to avoid.

Great video Chase. I have the CSR, Amex Platinum, and the VX. Minus the Chase 1.5c per point the C1 portal seems to work better for airlines. When I was in Indonesia i had access to the local airlines via the C1 travel portal where chase and amex did not have full access. This can save you hundreds of dollars on tickets and in many cases shorten the flight time. Another item, when I was in Japan at the Haneda in terminal 3 during a layover required a priority pass card per person and would not honor guests. They will allow two guests if you paid for them. The vx has access to plaza premium lounges as well, the CSR does not. Last item the c1 travel portal does have hotel collections similar to(but not quite as good) as the Amex FHR, in those cases you could think of the travel credit similarly to the Amex platinum hotel credit.

That along with the 10k miles are a solid duo to knock out that annual fee.

Almost through my 1st year with this card. I do put all general purchases that I can't get higher cash back on this card which makes it my most used card. I've only booked through the portal to redeem the $300 travel credit as I normally find better deals elsewhere. The other benefits are not useful to me, so the only benefits I really use are the $400 yearly credit and the 2% back to reimburse travel purchases... debating if I'm better off getting the fidelity 2% back card (no sign up bonus) and using Costo Citi 3% back on travel plus an extra 2% through Costco.

@ChaseYokoyama

One of the things to consider is how you use your points. If you are okay with the limited redemption options with the Fidelity and Costco cards, then it may be worth the switch. Also, when you do travel, do you value the travel protections and insurances that come with the Venture X?

It’s the best all around card period

Because of the Chase Sapphire Reserve's recent Priority Pass nerf, I truly believe that the best luxury travel card is actually two cards, both the VX and the Amex Platinum. Plain and simply because the VX covers the Platinum's weaknesses as a Visa Infinite (worldwide acceptance, primary CDW instead of secondary). And that's just because the VX is so easy to zero out the annual fee, unlike the Reserve, which allows you to pair it with a bigger card without as much financial strain if you do any kind of traveling.

@ChaseYokoyama

I recently booked a domestic flight using the Capital One Portal and the flight was slightly cheaper than booking directly on the airline’s website. Everything went smooth without hiccups.

My son and I have a round trip business class flight (IAD to OSL// ZRH to IAD) next year. The cost was 200k venture X points and 1075 in total taxes in fees!! That is less than if we didn't have points and bought coach seats one way!! It's SO worth it!

True story: I booked thru the portal for flight from TPE to KHN and back via Shanghai. On the first leg I got a last minute email that the connecting flight will depart two hours later. No problem, just spend some time hanging around. On my return flight, showed up two hours ahead with luggage on tow and a connection flight to Japan that night. The flight was canceled in Freaking CHINA! I called the travel portal and was basically told there is nothing they can do to get me out of a third world country and I had to buy my way out of the jam. I am going after the CC for all the one way tickets and hundreds of $$ of cab fare. That is also what you need to know before signing up.
