WF keeps denying me for that card. They say I have too many credit cards...
If I remember correctly, you need to wait until you get the physical card and they don't expedite shipping. (but you should ask in case I'm wrong or they've changed their policy)
I believe the cash value is $650 or maybe 550. Not sure about this though.
75,000 points, if redeemed against travel purchases (doesn't matter what the travel is, could be a hotel, could be Lyft/Uber, could be Amtrak, airfare, just as long as it is categorized as travel) is worth $750. If you take it just as cash it'll be worth half of that.
Seeing as how you have one year before you pay for an annual fee, I assume you can rack up $750 of basic travel stuff to redeem the points against - Lyft, Uber, metro cards, buses, rental cars, hotels, airfare, cruises, experiences booked through travel portals, etc. And you can go back as far as you want to cover the purchase. Earn the points in Nov, have bookings in Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan...doesn't matter. Just redeem the points against the purchases.

I got a virtual number automatically through the app, virtual card also adds to your sub spend
Mines was super quick, I think it was fedex over within a week? You however can use the virtual number via the capital one app right away.
Anyone have recent success doing this?
If so, did you get approved for the Venture even if the PreApproval tool did not offer the Venture card?f
Maybe you can get it with a referral? I have both the Venture and the Spark business cards from C1. They both gave me the same bonus with the same spend but the Venture is a travel card so might have different benefits. The Spark allows redemption of bonus points as a statement credit for full value while the Venture only gives full value for travel related expenses. So they're slightly different but both give bonuses.

Churning is for high income earners with excellent credit. I can't stress enough: if your credit score is something you even have to think about, then you really shouldn't be churning.
