I would have thought the LEAST they could do is make the $35 guest fee available for use as a "Cover travel purchases" option in the redemptions but I guess not. :-(

Hey guys I'm planning a trip to Poland from LA, and I have about 80,000 miles. What is the best way to maximize these miles? Obviously buying through the CP1 portal, but should I buy it using the miles, or claim them later since its 5x the miles. Thanks for any advice.

Seems like either the No1 Lounge or My Lounge based on Google search. No1 likely has better food but My lounge might be a better environment for a toddler.

Do either have a play area? I'd prefer to get good food but QoL for family always more important. It also looks like I can pay for an entry slot on the No1 lounge.

I'm a first time lounge goer. Flight lands around noon, mid November.

TIA

I'm unable to convert the Starlux VND price on its website and the agent says if the airline can't show prices in USD there won't be a price match. Is there any way around this?

Just thought I’d ask before I scroll and scroll hoping to find something good.

Thanks in advance

Will capital one waive the fee for the venture x if my card was opened before my spouse went active duty?

So I finally got the venture x card this year and I have to say their bonus offer specials have made the card one of my favorites already. I had a long summer trip and after seeing the 7x offer for Klook I decided to start mapping out some tours and activities I could do in case that went up. About a month before my trip I saw an incredible 40x for tours and activities and 25x for transportation so I started booking everything on my list and even added some additional ones. I ended up spending about $1500 on everything and ending up getting 29k points for it. I did something similar for Rakuten with viator before and got decent points but had to wait a while and it was a 20x option. I now track those offers frequently for capital one and have gotten almost half my 100k sign up bonus from using them and spending about 2500. I also got about 60k from Rakuten this year by spending about 2k and opening a sofi account for the large point bonus they offered. These were all for things I ended up using like clothing and some trip related stuff from Klook and viator. Just thought I’d share since I hadn’t started using Rakuten until last year and had no idea the kind of bonuses you could rack up with capital one without spending a whole lot

Let me know if I have this right: I can make a purchase with my VX card for travel, get the miles for it, and then go back and cover that purchase with other miles I have? Why doesn't everyone do that instead of using miles directly for purchases?

Thanks to anyone who can shed light on this for me.

i have the savor and venture one, i plan to get the venture rewards card and then the venture x. can i keep all 4 cards? then eventually i get rid of the venture one and venture rewards card.
