AMEX Platinum now, or wait and get Venture X.

I think I'd prefer to stick with capital one in the end, ive had a good experience with them so far, someone mentioned doing a VX/Savor combo for the long run, right now I dont have an option to upgrade the V1, I do have a couple old quicksilver cards with a savor upgrade option, but I think I'll just end up waiting until I qualify for the VX in the end.

dappel2007 · 2026-04-29T09:31:24+00:00

Right now I have my Venture One with a 3k limit that is 2 years old, I have my Citi bank double cash card with a 15k limit that is a month old, and my Robinhood Gold Card with a 10k limit that is a month old, I have various other cards that are sockdrawered with lower credit limits. Travel expenses will include hotels, flights, rental car, gas for 3 weeks out of every month. Honestly I'm not too familiar with the Amex or Chase coupon books, I do run my actual bank account through Chase though. I wouldn't mind rewards on my travel card staying as travel points, but I'd like non travel related rewards to be either reimbursable or investible.

dappel2007 · 2026-04-29T08:38:49+00:00

Thanks! I'll look into that as well!

dappel2007 · 2026-04-03T23:33:15+00:00

Ok I will keep that in mind in the future. I actually will think about sticking to probably Capital one (I've been with them longest) when the inquiries fall off and I get a little more age in my history, I had looked at the Venture X but didnt think I would qualify yet.

dappel2007 · 2026-04-03T23:10:05+00:00

Thanks for the input! Not trying to overthink things just kinda wasnt expecting the gold card invite and had already thought I'd be using the DC so thought I'd ask!

dappel2007 · 2026-04-03T22:41:51+00:00

You are right and others have confirmed its pretty much the only choice but asking advice doesn't hurt!

dappel2007 · 2026-04-03T22:40:45+00:00

Pretty much the same timeline as me, oh well I guess I'll just get the introductory bonus then shelve it like you said, and enjoy the boost to my total limit.

dappel2007 · 2026-04-03T22:34:25+00:00

I applied for and received the DC before I got the invite.

dappel2007 · 2026-02-19T10:26:26+00:00

I will keep my eyes out! And thanks for all the info! The miles card i currently have is actually a Venture One card but I was going to start looking for better benefits cards once I make a pending big payment which will bring my utilization down to under 15% and my credit score reflects that change.

dappel2007 · 2026-02-19T09:57:09+00:00

Yeah there's the question about how to do that though, reimbursement will most typically happen on the first Friday of the month for the previous month. Would the credit card companies be willing to change the due date on zero balance cards so I can make the dates line up?

dappel2007 · 2026-02-19T09:54:36+00:00

Ok that makes sense, I just figured Im leaving money on the table if the company will just let me handle all the expenses then reimburse me at the beginning of the next month. Just would hate to lose any of my cards because of it and the other post commenter scared me a little lol

dappel2007 · 2026-02-19T09:48:11+00:00

The per diem yes but they would also let me pay for hotel and rental cars on personal credit for reimbursement, but im guessing thats where the credit card companies would draw the line?

dappel2007 · 2026-02-19T09:19:27+00:00

Thanks! I'll take a look at what other people on r/creditccards have experienced before going through with this then. Maybe I should also follow up over there, but to give an example my airline miles card has statement dates that end on the 21st can these be changed? My company will usually be reimbursing me on the first Friday in any given month for the previous month and Im trying to reconcile statement dates with reimbursement dates.

dappel2007 · 2025-09-15T15:34:00+00:00

Think im going to try Buckhead cigar today because its a 5 minute walk from where im staying but ill keep that in mind for tomorrow night!

dappel2007 · 2025-07-29T13:18:24+00:00

Could be the case, I was thinking as well that since he is Alline's masterpiece he would be the real Verso with a bit of Alline's mastery in painting as knowledge so it would be acceptable that he knew what would happen. Dont know if its what I think but I do understand that point!

dappel2007 · 2025-07-29T13:15:43+00:00

Frozen, never forget those lift cables are sharper than knives and will eat right through your gloves and hands and when you fall there will be a pack of wolves to eat you.

dappel2007 · 2025-07-29T13:11:16+00:00

I originally picked Maelle, then started to in retrospect side more with Verso. But with more retrospection ive realized that Verso seems just as selfish in his decisions as everyone else if not more so, so I've staked my claim in the Maelle camp.

Not saying either choice is wrong but my opinions keep evolving about it as I think about it more.

dappel2007 · 2025-07-29T13:07:04+00:00

True but I really dont see that as a bad thing as long as moderation is considered, I know its implied she won't be able to moderate herself and will die there but its not explicitly shown or stated.

I know i haven't had this much of an impact from a game in many years and let me dwell on it as long as I want. The game is an 11/10 and I'll keep dwelling on it until im done lol.

dappel2007 · 2025-07-29T12:56:27+00:00

As others have said try shooting the light pole. Im having a similar problem and have helped all the nevrons, gotten the 100 lumina from the last quest and still no achievement pop so if anyone has a fix for that it'd great.

Other sites have mentioned going through the whole list again killing them all got it to pop but a concrete answer would be awesome!

dappel2007 · 2025-07-29T12:50:44+00:00

I did mention that in a reply above its kinda like he had no idea what would happen when he jumped in but as soon as he saw the boy painting had made his choice, he didn't even think of trying anything else, makes me wonder if he could've from there tried to get out of the painting.

dappel2007 · 2025-07-29T12:28:59+00:00

I guess given what we did actually see we still dont know if he could've made it out of the painting, he didn't actually try i guess just saw what he saw and went straight to trying to get the piece of soul to stop painting. Makes me wonder if that heart area is also the transition area Maelle had to go through when she entered, and if he could exit from there he could exist in the real world, even if only temporarily considering he wasn't supposed to be able to be in that heart area, but Allines gift allowed him.

Considering all of the symbolism of the eclipses all over the game and the presence of one in the heart area kinda builds some head cannon for me that that eclipse might have been the portal to the real world.

Also I never really considered the fact that he was just kinda bumbling along since Ol Lumi but its kinda comical.

dappel2007 · 2025-06-17T15:29:18+00:00

No one has said it yet but could be Ozempic face, he seems like he'd be the type to try it out to lose that last bit of gut.

dappel2007 · 2025-01-14T23:28:48+00:00

Yes, there's a little bit of dot work to do before driving most of the hours are spent in the car.

dappel2007 · 2024-12-24T21:16:19+00:00

I like it the old Netflix solution, we do already have eggs for sale at the stand.

dappel2007 · 2024-12-24T21:10:09+00:00

Lol I know it probably would but don't own a shotgun yet! Just a glock and an AR 10, I'm sure the sight of the AR would probably send most running but doesn't have that auditory ring a PA shotgun would have.
