Guide To Capital One Venture X 10,000 Anniversary Bonus Miles

OT. Noticed you book AP at 110k pts & combine routes to make this a better flight/deal. I had a TYO-FRA F for 130k & then a FRA-ATL J for 75k. From what I read in your posts, there's a way to combine these so the whole trip would be 130k

Does/did this require a call to Aeroplan?

@ RetiredATLATC -- You can't combine them once they're booked as two separate tickets, but if you have one ticket booked, then you could call and add the other segment. The entire award should cost 130K points (or if you have a stopover, add 5K more points). You would have to pay the change fees, though (still worth it).

Should be "In this post I WANT to take a closer look", not "I wanted".

Or better yet, “In this post I take a closer look.”

Would this, meaning the change fee, be waived if I purchased the fares that had free cancellation and change fees?

I'm not going to complain either way as I got NRT-ZRH-YUL-ATL for 178k. First two legs are on Swiss and have secured throne seats in the mini-cabins, then AC F to ATL, but it's always nice to know what's available as far as options.

I get concerned that by the time I called the award would be gone.

Thank you for the reply Ben

To add. It is one ticket, but maybe because I booked cancelable/changeable it was more.

Does anyone know whether a current authorized user on a VentureX card is considered ineligible for a new card sign-up bonus since they are already using the card as an auth. user? Curious if anyone has been denied the bonus before in a situation like this. Thank you!

I've not done this myself, but have read from many that being an AU on someone else's card does not prevent you from being approved for your own nor prevent you from getting a SUB.

Have had the card for two years. I wish that they would credit the annual bonus right after paying the annual fee. I get that they don’t want people cashing the bonus and then trying to drop the card/get the annual fee back, but I find that they delay crediting the bonus for two cycles, which is too long IMO.
