Other than that it's a decent card and the Eno one-time/one-vendor card numbers are very helpful.

C1 is trash, hard credit pulls that's why
I'm all in on Chase, sitting at close to 500K points. Have considered Cap One in the past, but Chase UR portal is just so seamless and easy to use
I would recommend checking your probability of approval on Creditkarma or just use C1 pre-approval first. This would avoid a hit on your credit scores.
This..
Yes! You can apply.
Edit:
The rejection letter I got later states the following. I guess they don't like churners. Can't blame them.
The reason(s) for our decision are:
• Based on your credit report from one or more of the agencies on the back of this letter, there are
too many active credit cards based on your loan history
• Based on your credit report from one or more of the agencies on the back of this letter, there are
too many new revolving accounts
Your score is probably good. Their algorithm usually picks the ones that are at the beginning of their credit journey.

I have the card too.
The main issue is that you cannot transfer the miles\points to some other reward system. However, you still can convert it to cash with a 1.5% rate. 75,000 might be around $400.

I've got my answer, seems there should be a gap of 48 months
Thank you , 3 questions.
Are you saying the non x card can't transfer points to airlines etc?
I have the x card, if wife got the regular venture card, could she pool her points onto my x card?
What is the best use of x points?
Thank you again
Same here I got this card couple of days ago and now this deal drops! Smh

What do you suggest using the travel credit on then, if not hotels? Sounds like flights is the best option, or perhaps car rental if you don't have subsidized contract rates with any car rental agency.

Hotels are, sadly, your best bet for burning the credit. Just know that you'll only get about 80-90c on the dollar for your reservation and - again, if things go sideways - you're on your own for changes or conflicts on site. If you're a skin-of-your-teeth traveler, or it's a last minute/same night reservation it's NBD. When you take my wife (, please) make sure you book direct with the hotel 'cause she's not going to care you got it for free with your Venture Card credit when she has to sleep in the airport or, God forbid, a Days Inn. .
