Relatively new to points. Already have a Venture X card and looking for its best complement for me. Main spending are groceries, dining, and gas. I can double down with SavorOne, no fee but low welcome bonus. Amex gold is easier to hit the welcome bonus, but don’t really want to pay that high a fee; Citi Premier which hits all three, but hardest to get value in benefits: CSP, only dining. Theoretically I can do CSR if I downgrade my Venture to no fee, but not worth unless I go in on Chase.

I’m also looking for a good complement; same place with just the VX right now. I was looking at SavorOne for the dining bonus and UberOne membership, but also considering program specific cards like Bonvoy or AAadvantage. Also want to consider other groups like CSP or Amex

A few solid options: the Marriott boundless mentioned above is one of my favorite sub’s I got last year. Had 3 nights in Europe and 2 nights in puerto Vallarta covered with the sub on a $95 fee card. Easily paid for itself.

The Amex gold can become essentially free if you ever order food via Grubhub/seamless or Uber eats. $240 in credits for a $250 fee card is pretty easy to rationalize if you do it already

Would echo the boundless has a non-referral offer of 5 night instead of the 3 linked above. Hoping they change it to a referral option so we can all help each other out

For groceries and gas the Amex Blue Preferred can’t be beat. For restaurants the CapOne Savor cash is my go to, although I may cancel/downgrade that and start using my CSR for dining.

I’d honestly recommend Chase Hyatt vs Chase Marriott (I have both).

Cross posted: Has anyone ever heard of this type of real estate private equity fund structure:
