We made one in excel between the chase sapphire preferred and the venture a few months ago.
I’ve got Amex Gold, Venture X, and Chase Sapphire Preferred. I’m a bit of a churner.
I love that I can use my points on Venture X to pay off any travel. So if I have 120k points, I can use them all on a $1,200 hotel stay; as well as transfer them to partners. I’m not overly impressed with the travel partners, but that’s something (I believe) is unique to the card and I may keep it around a bit. Also love that it’s 10x points on travel booked through the portal, which is competitive to prices on other sites.
Amex Gold is the millennial card. 4x at supermarkets (so you’ll be well on your way with these grocery prices) and restaurants. I fly with Delta every now and then so I keep my Amex around to transfer there.
Sapphire Preferred is nice. Chase portal is solid and the travel partners are in line with how I travel. I had the reserve but downgraded to the preferred to keep my points and rack up free flights for Southwest. Not sure the next time I’ll pay for a southwest flight with all the points I’ve racked up. 3x on streaming services, 3x on grocery purchases (even online with Walmart and target) 3x on dining.
Please let me know if you’re interested in any of these. Would love to get that referral bonus
Of course: Here’s my Venture X referral link: https://capital.one/3sXafKe

Not familiar with venture x but chase reserve over amex plat no contest from my experience. Easier to use benefits, better service.
