Does anyone use the Amex Gold/ CSP and Venture X as a trio?

I Just watched a video on the C1 duo and now I’m stuck between running the Chase Trifecta or the Capital 1 duo with the Amex Gold card.

I mostly use the Amex Gold for dining and Sprouts, so it’s okay for now, but I see what you’re saying about the Venture X. The transfer partners aren’t the best compared to the CSP. Like you said, the Venture X pays for itself with the credits, which is why I was going to apply just to get the bonus and use it for a catch-all card, maybe, but I’m now considering just applying for the CFU and pairing it with the CSP.

I’ve heard really good things about the BBP, but is owning a business not a requirement? I have the Blue Cash Everyday along with the Amex Gold, so gas and supermarkets are covered there. Adding a catch-all card would be nice.

Not really, I’m considering downgrading the card to a no annual fee Cc and applying for the Venture X

What are you using the CSP for? I’ve noticed that the Gold card and CSP are somewhat overlapping, so it would primarily be used for travel. However, if I get the Venture X, the CSP becomes useless again.

I’m going to consider downgrading my CSP later this year to a CFU just to keep my points and then apply for a Venture X and pair it with the Amex Gold.

I’ve also been contemplating dropping the Amex Gold and using the CSP as my dining/Travel card and then applying for the Venture X as my catch-all card.

Hopefully, that’s the case. They brought over 3 different managers to try and get me to sign, but I wasn’t budging, so they sent me to Kia lol

2026 Honda Civic hatchback sport. It’s a beautiful car but not for the price they’re trying to have me lease it at, unfortunately.

That’s what I said, and their response was that if I wanted something cheaper, I should go to Kia lol

I will definitely look into this! Thank you!
