I just applied and got denied with an 820 credit score but with over 30 cards and 0 debt
Cons: Customer service is not as consumer friendly as Chase or Amex
$250 travel credit has to be spent through their terrible portal, which is just a Hopper re-skin and routes reservations through 3rd parties (my last was an Expedia reservation). Most costs for the portal are higher than if you have an account with 3rd party sites like Booking, Agoda, or Priceline and CapOne will NOT match a logged-in price. There is no telephone customer service for booking.

Pros: Eno vendor specific CC numbers with number cancellation and holds are great for online signups
2 points per dollar spent and direct reimb. for travel using points at 1pt=1c is essentially a 2% cash back card if you travel
No foreign tx fees (for those who travel internationally)

If you travel a little, it's a good card. If you travel more than 3-4 times a year, especially if your preferred airport has a CapOne lounge, the VentureX is a better product to have ($395AF), but this is a good stop gap with a solid bonus.
What's in MY wallet? Too many cards. That's what CapOne tells me every time when they hard-pull all three bureaus to deny me with 800+ FICO.

Quote from mrayray09 :
Im considering getting away from the Chase family (Sapphire reserve, Freedom, Freedom Unlimited). Honestly, if it wasnt for the Hyatt relationship, which I use a lot, I would be out of there. But in the last 3 months, I have booked 12 nights that would have cost me at least $400/night for no more than 18k points a night.

I fly 1-2x a year with no loyalty to airlines, do short trips 2-3 times a year, with one being to a non Hyatt resort, but also prefer AirBnB since have 3 young kids. CC spend is probably $10k/mo, so points can accumulate pretty quickly (thanks daycare!!!).

I don't like the cards with an annual fee…

Any suggestions, if we should open such credit cards and cancel them before the end of year 1 to avoid the next year's fee.

Should we do that each year, Amex, CapitalOne, then Chase, then BOA and a few more one bank per year, and then back to the cycle starting with Amex after 5-6 years?

Any suggestions?

I am just not a fan of annual fee cards and will close after the first year.

6 month seems to be very tight/short
How long would it be best to wait? I can't seem to find any DPs on this.

Am I able to spend money on a flight as part of the initial $4k, and then once I get the 75k miles, use that to reimburse the money I spent? Or would the miles only reimburse new purchases after the initial $4k (or after the 75k SUB hits)?

So there is little difference to X and this now? Apart from the fee

X gives you yearly travel credit and 10k points, this one only gives you 1 time $250 travel credit and no 10k points

Does anyone know if the 75k miles can be converted to cash ($750), and have that transferred to your bank account?

You can convert to statement credit , but it will be half of the 750, = $375.
That is why, this card is good for 2 kinds:
1) Have travel related purchases (flight, rental car etc), reimbursement these purchases for $750 - this is easiest.
2) Transfer miles to partner airlines.
