Y’all keep talking about CSR or Amex (plat/gold) for points. But I want to know how cap one venture stacks up. Is it worth it?

Ditch CSR and get Venture X instead. I would still keep Amex Plat&Gold

Worth if you've saturated your sign up bonus opportunities with other cards. Less worth compared to the popular CSP and MR earning cards and Co-branded cards because of the lack of travel partners, but the points are worth a decent amount

Get csp instead of csr. Get venture x has enough benefits built in to make it worth it. They have good transfer partners as well.

You can have Venture X, CSP, and Amex Gold for practically ~$50 after you get your travel credits and food credits back from those three cards. I use Venture X on everyday purchases, CSP for anything above 2x points (i.e., travel at 3x) other than food, and Amex Gold for all food (groceries & restaurants)

Venture X looks great, though I don't have this card.

Big fan of the venture x, and their travel portal (at least European hotels) has great prices unlike chase. And better flight prices. 10x there has me seriously questioning chase CSR when I also have Bilt with 3x dining or amex gold 4x.

I got the venture X credit card at the beginning of this year and I love it. I automatically received a $144 refund because a flight by had purchased through the travel portal decreased in price. I didn’t even know about this until I saw a refund I wasn’t expecting and messaged to ask about it.
