Ben - Wouldn't the Venture X be the best card for beginners at this hobby? I find myself recommending the Venture X to friends and family without overwhelming them with coupons and bonus categories. The $300 annual credit plus 10k points makes it so easy to justify the annual fee to someone who may not be convinced about getting an ROI of a high annual fee.

find it funny says $100 hotel credit is basically cash - except Chase Travel hotels are often 10% more expensive than booking directly, and you don't get any elite benefits. and this expires. of course it's just like cash!

This card is better than the reserve card. It is easier to meet the annual fee. The annual fee is easy to meet and the benefits are more than the annual fee, It also depends on what you are going to use the points for.

The 10% annual bonus is supposed to expire October 1, 2026 so does that mean our first 9 months bonus gets awarded then or have we lost it forever?
