Can’t believe it took so long to talk about this duo

[rajivshah]

🪃 love your vids Sebby! Especially liked this one because you talked about 'outliers' or niches, and gave examples of what airlines and partners to use.

I hit my one year anniversary on the venture x, I love this setup. Getting the savor one for sure

[wm]

Great video. I appreciate the math, and also the transfer partner ideas for travel on business class. Going to use my Cap One points for that.

Glad that you finally did a video on this duo. Love VX and waiting for a few months to get Savor One as C1 won't give it to me right away. Definitely underrated and for many a better setup than the Chase trifecta in terms of simplicity and value. Which other setup gives you this level of lounge access, minimum 2X, 3X for broad set of categories including groceries, primary CDW, no international fees, for credits that easily cover the VX fees. Hyatt is great, but how many Hyatt points can you realistically use if you are not into upper end resorts?

I’m one month in with the Duo and can confirm this is perfect for anyone working abroad. Zero FT fees and 2-3x on everything you can pay with card. Also, Cash Back can only be transferred to Miles on the website, not in the app. That took a bit to figure out. So, to summarize: 💵💶💷💳🤑

My wife got the VX in February. Hit that bonus Real quick. I then got the Savor in March right before going to Orlando. All amusement parks count at the 4%. So if you do things like that, you will hit that $9500 easy. Everyone loved the Priority Access for our family of 5 in Orlando. Had a 5 minute wait to get in, but the breakfast hit the spot for just a tip on our way back home.

Excellent video. I'm newer in my credit card journey for upgraded travel. I use a three card setup that includes the Venture X, Savor One, and BILT Mastercard. Perfect for my level of spend and I'm basically getting paid $5 to use!

[kevinonthank]

I have this set up and I really love it. I went with the Venture X and the Savor One. For gas I use the no annual fee Amex Hilton card bc you get 5x Hilton points.👍💪

[CLGilbert]

I like the setup. I have it. But really it's hard to extract value without as you point out using transfer partners. And finding that sweet spot. You should put a dollar amount on the work you have to do to extract value. To me it seems that if you're rich enough to travel to exotic places to get this value, your time is worth so much it offsets the value because of the time you have to put in to extract it

[CrowsRevenge]

I've been running the venture X and Savor One. I've pocketed 220k miles on the last 10 months. Maximizing those modifiers has been amazing. Plus 95k miles for 4300 in spend with both cards intro bonuses. Also, one is a Mastercard and the other is Visa. So if you travel somewhere were one doesn't work, you can use the other. Had an issue in Korea years ago where Visa would not work anywhere. So I love that flexibility.

Have a Venture X been great so far and the lounges were really nice when i went to Japan. Just picked up the Savor after watching this vid seems like an easy combo for someone who is just dipping their toes into points optimization.

[franktran]

Great vid as usual, Sebby! What is your strategy when looking at flights at T300, T14, and T3 from flight date? In your opinion, is it better to book whatever you can using points and then trying to upgrade at those intervals? Or just risk it and try booking at those intervals? Thanks!

[winterfern]

I actually have the business venture X for the past 4 months, one of the few invited to test the card out before it was released. Its the same as venture x but doesnt report on your personal credit score and the spending is like an amex charge card. It adjusts based off your spending. I use the regular venture as my workhorse. Other than those two cards im heavy into amex with business platinum, gold, business gold, blue business plus, amex amazon business card, hilton surpass.
I'm obviously in a unique situation because of running an e-commerce business so i spend 60-100k a month, but most of that is on the business venture x now for wholesale.

🪃 Great video! Thank you for all the info!

[CBRboy]

Been rocking this Duo since last summer. Pretty clutch.

[slappers]

Such an underrated duo!! Love the VX so much, and the savor one is the icing on the cake!

[jrfuentes]

Question - Have you ever done a cash back card vs travel card - which is the best way to go? With airlines like Alaska and American Airlines going to dynamic pricing and making miles worth a lot less does it make more sense to get cash back and use said cash for travel?

[dsalmon]

Don't think i'll be getting the SavorOne, but your warning on the Venture X got me the card back in Feb so thanks

[samjwhang]

x gonna give it to ya is the theme song for my venture x card. it plays in my head when i use it or talk to friends about it
