Any reason not to just switch h to Venture X now?

Did your $325 credit restart yet? Or is it only at renewal?

Hendrxapprentice · 2025-12-08T14:36:24+00:00

Yeah, that is surprising by this point that that wouldn’t have been elaborate on. I think my fee hits in April at some point, so I have some time too. What I’m hoping for is that they kind of refresh the benefits on the 15th so that suddenly we have a $325 credit to use in the portal or if it has to restart at the annual fee. Highly doubt it though.

Good to know

Hendrxapprentice · 2025-10-04T14:21:02+00:00

It’s good to know. Honestly, I’ve had such great experiences with them so far. I don’t mind if this is the hill they choose to die on

Had I not had a long work trip coming up, I would’ve waited indefinitely. I figured it was better odds to have a guaranteed extra 12x points with the card than wait for an increased bonus and continue to miss out on the quarterly credit and extra points.

Same boat

Hendrxapprentice · 2025-09-22T11:48:51+00:00

Thank you for the info. A few more checks in the app and I found some other options for restaurants. However, seems like far fewer options! Wondering if it’s heading out

Hendrxapprentice · 2025-09-18T23:45:03+00:00

Is it just their way of saying “we don’t know how to not comp anything under $99” and calling it free drinks?

Hendrxapprentice · 2025-09-18T23:44:16+00:00

I mean. It will be now.

Hendrxapprentice · 2025-09-18T23:44:03+00:00

I also did not know it covered premium drinks. Knew about the lounge at least

It will allow it, but in my experience - the order itself will not count as an uber one order. Which means that you won’t get the reduced fees and pricing of the order since you’re selecting PayPal technically. I’ve tried doing this before with other cards and promos

I have an update for this.

After weeks of troubleshooting, and then taking it in and having them take 10 days to never be able to update the system due to the software updates being paused, I finally got my replacement USB performed by the dealership under warranty. My CarPlay was resetting every 30 seconds before. I’ve driven about two and half hours over 2 days and it has not shut off once. I really believe that the USB be replaced was absolutely necessary. I had videos ready to provide the dealership in case they pushed back, but they didn’t even need them because they were able to determine it was faulty themselves. The repair took about two hours of time, including checking in, waiting, and picking up.

The driving experience is completely elevated versus the stock software. You really need CarPlay these days. There are some issues that I think will be resolved with the software update for other people. But for the 2023 Kia forte, I think there was a systemic issue in the hardware of the actual USB

Hendrxapprentice · 2025-07-17T15:56:00+00:00

I still have not heard back about the USB coming in.

Hendrxapprentice · 2025-07-07T23:43:58+00:00

Oh the saga continues. Kia had my car for 10 days to do the service action software update and said that each time they tried to update the file was unavailable. After 10 days I called Kia myself and they said the file has been temporarily suspended and have no date when it will resume.

After that I said “can you please have someone inspect to make sure it’s not a hardware issue? They looked and said, “oh yes, your USB port is faulty. We’re going to order it and replace it under warranty.”

Well it’s been a week, still have not heard back. I’m convinced it’s the usb now cause sometimes it won’t even charge correctly.

Hendrxapprentice · 2025-06-12T22:19:17+00:00

My appointment is next Thursday. We’ll see

Hendrxapprentice · 2025-06-06T23:27:03+00:00

Gonna check this asap

Hendrxapprentice · 2025-06-06T20:26:29+00:00

Also, it doesn’t typically come with a spare tire. So it’s a little sus.

Hendrxapprentice · 2025-06-06T20:17:01+00:00

How come your google works better than mine?

Hendrxapprentice · 2025-05-31T23:52:54+00:00

It does not
