I have the Capital One Venture card and want to get the Venture X.

Should I apply for the new card to get the points offer or just upgrade my Venture and see if they’ll waive the annual fee? options with pros/cons in the comments

Option 1 - apply for the Venture X.
Pro I can get the 75k point bonus. Cons: opening up another CC , having to close my venture transfer points, effects credit score. etc seems like a bit of a hassle.

Option 2 - just upgrade my Venture to the Venture X.
If I go with this, what are the chances they will waive the annual fee ($395) since i won’t get the miles bonus? Wouldnt be the same value as the 75k miles but not having to deal with opening a new card seems worth it.

Here’s how to withdraw your funds from FTX

Hedge Withdrawals

Open a position on FTX and an opposing position on another exchange (perhaps Binance for the irony) for the same financial exposure. If the position on FTX profits, keep trading. As the position on FTX experiences losses, the opposing position on the other exchange profits. Keep it up until you’ve depleted the funds on account at FTX the close your opposing position. You’ve successfully withdrawn funds using a hedge. You’re welcome.
