I think I should give up on Venture X. Excellent credit and have over 20 cards including CSR, Ax Plat/Gold, and two Ink cards and many Chase/Ax co-brands. Pre-approval third time this year says I have too many lines of credit.

Cap One doesn't like recent cards. Give it 6 months and check again. They're also just very weird in general. For now I'm an AU on my spouse's card because I couldn't get it either.

Honestly unless you live near or often go through DFW/DC/Denver, they're not worth it. The food in the Venture Lounges is fantastic (some of the best lounge food I've found in the US) But only having 3 lounges is a real bummer. And the Chase ultimate rewards universe has basically the same number of transferable airlines and hotels.

Have an acquaintance who is a single mom; she purchased a used car 3 mos ago. Six wks later her 17yo wrecked it, air bags deployed, and estimates have ranged between $10-$18k in needed repairs while $21k is still owed. Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?
