What do you mean? I have Venture X and honestly recommend it to everyone. It has rewards youd actually do and lots of benefits without the high annual fee. I can send you a referral link if you want
Lounge waits in DC are becoming fairly frequent. Plan accordingly.
Well the CSR I had gave me nada for lounges at DCA so 🤷

VX is one of the easiest travel cards to justify since the annual travel credit + miles offset the fee even at 1 cpp. The lack of guest access to lounges starting in Feb is a bummer, but it should help with the crowding issues.
My spouse and I both have it (would prefer to only have 1 but again, lounge changes coming). The most annoying part is the $300 credit which has to be used in their portal. They do price match, but it has to be EXACT (including cancelation policy). Even if C1 has the better cancelation, they won't match, so just be careful. Some people overpay in the portal on purpose to use the credit and get a price match, then end up screwed. Also the price match goes into a travel credit, so you're forced to use the portal again. I try to use the credit for something low risk but I also just hate portals.
Other than that, understand their transfer partners, otherwise you'll need to settle for the travel eraser to get the baseline 1 cpp.

If you book through the portal, you can call them within 24 hours to price match to any public offer (meaning it can't have a login). There can be issues because they don't match offers that have different terms and also don't accommodate if a public price increases after you book.
Cents per point.
I use it as my catch all card and all travel related expenses for the card’s insurance protections
