This looks like a great card for travel compared to Chase Sapphire Reserve and Amex Platinum. Especially I like the lower annual fee part and the sign up bonus also looks generous.

One Mile At a Time isn't perfect by any means, but has done a better job than TPG of not being totally hackish. View from the Wing is love it or hate it, but the site's most recently updated points valuation [viewfromthewing.com] is well worth a read for the basic explanation of value as well as a more realistic set of points/miles valuations (imo) than TPG or OMAaT.

Checked the C1 prequalified website ahead of applying and it basically showed I qualified for all their cards.
Note VX won't show on the prequalified site.
I already had a Quicksilver One for over 10 years with just $1,750 CL and a C1 Checking that I opened a few months ago for their sign up bonus.
I recently product changed my CSP to Freedom Flex Unlimited. So this will be my travel card

Just need to figure out how to gets pend 10k in six months
I've been in travel credit card scene for so many years, and I can tell you that this type of offer doesn't come often. In fact, Chase Sapphire only had this type of offer when it was first introduced.
I'd apply for this card even when you only plan to travel once in the next 12 months, especially overseas.
The crazy thing about this card is the generosity of the lounge access where authorized users can have their own lounge pass with no additional fee. If you travel outside the US, you can see how much better the airport lounges are. In the US, only a handful of airports have good lounges.
Additionally, this card also offers primary collision coverage for rental cars, which means your insurance company won't be involved when you have an accident. I once had an accident where the car was totaled - and the credit card (Sapphire at the time) picked up the entire tab.
PM me if anyone has any more questions on this.
Happy traveling (hopefully soon).

Thanks for sharing, OP.

I had 3 rental car accidents covered without a fuss and no cost to me since 2018:
1. Month old E-class wagon in Germany with 1 side dented/scratched for damage totalling $23k. Hertz Germany banned me as I also got 2 speeding tickets.
2. New tire and front left wheel due to hitting curbs while driving left-hand side on Audi A6 in Ireland
3. Rear corner bumper crushed from hitting gas station barrier on year-old Nissan Maxima
