Capital One Venture X is a great card - especially if you already have a card for a specific airline.

Check doctor of credit. Not sure why you're saying "never" when it has been active for a bit now. No idea how long it'll stay around.

If you’re comfortable applying for business cards (as sole proprietor), the chase ink cards all have elevated bonuses right now.

Chase business ink if you haven’t already! They have a new offer for 90K bonus when you spend $6K. Let me know if you need a referral!

With $10K you could get at least 2 sign up bonuses, although that also means you need to get approved for 2 cards. Would be easier if you have a partner/spouse.

Depending on your travel habits, I'd consider Chase Sapphire Preferred/Reserve (4k spend for 60k points) and Venture X (4k spend for 90k points currently, usually 75k).

FM1 - thank you for your advice. My wife and I applied for 2 separate Venture cards and both of us have our 75K points. 🙏
