Looking to get a new credit card. Should I go for Chase Sapphire Preferred or Cap 1 Venture X?

Both are great cards. I personally have the CSR (paired with CFU+CFF) and Venture X. I use the VX as a 2x catch all and pair it with the Savor One (no annual fee, 3x dining/groceries/streaming, 10x Uber); you can transfer the cash back to miles. VX also gives you access to Cap One lounges which are super nice, and I luckily live by one.

Personally I'd go for the VX right now because of the 90k sign up bonus. CSP is currently 60k, with some people getting targeted for 80k, so I'd wait for the 80k if I were you.

Feel free to DM if you need a VX referral for 90k bonus (public offer is 75k).

I second the Venture X! Just wish I had known about the 90k cause I signed up for 75k a few days prior to that starting...

Really comes down to sign up bonus.

Why not both? 😌

I probably will get both, but can’t hit both SUB at the same time

Partner has the CSR so we can transfer / redeem chase points at 1.5 cpp. Also have the Amex Platinum, looking for a good dining rewards card (CSP) or daily driver (VX1)

Get both, one at a time , see this
