Trying to consider whether I should get a new credit card for points as I plan to make some big purchases.
Currently I have: Amex Gold for Daily Purchases / Chase Marriott Bonvoy for hotels. Do travel some time in the year so potentially thinking a card suited for airlines. What would be the best card for me to add? (Venture X maybe?..)

Amex gold is good for dining and groceries, not everyday spending (although to be fair that is the majority of my daily spending haha)

I like the venture x

Chase sapphire is good and you can combine with their free cards to have a good optimized strategy

With Amex Gold, do you think it’s good to add the venture x to the portfolio? I do see it as a better fit than the amex plat due to its high fees.

Venture X and Sapphire Preferred

I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?

This is what playing dirty looks like - welcome to the real Wall Street. They want to send a message to scare off enough people by mimicking a crash through intentional sales that trigger freezes. This is the endgame, because they know that if retailers don't blink they have to take the bath of all baths tomorrow.
