Pro tip: once you have Hertz president circle, you can status match with most other rental car companies (national, enterprise, sixt, even Avis). Doing so allows you top status at many companies all for free

[@hockey1freak]

i jus got enterprise

[@jenniferlee2488]

How do you get the status match? Do you call or email?

[@CinemaSteve]

@@jenniferlee2488 National and Enterprise have a site where you submit your info, and a picture of your Hertz card with the status on it for the current year.

[@AskSebby]

Great tip!

[@PattyASMR]

@@jenniferlee2488 different for each company, some of them let you fill out something online and some make you email or call. There's some guides online if you look up status matching!

i dont know how to add a boomerang from my keyboard (im using my laptop and not phone) but great video! i just signed up for the venture x last month and i love the card. thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

[@dayrongil9777]

Great video, i did all of the 9 steps. My mom is loving priority pass for free 😂. Have the card for a year and half now. Best travel card i own.

[@Snow_B_Wan]

Really should place a disclaimer for the hertz benifit since its going away at the end of the year

[@raymondchan4016]

I just got my Venture X. If I add the Hertz benefit now, do I keep the Hertz presidential status forever or do I lose it after this year. I’m confused if it’s just those that sign up for Venture X after this year lose the opportunity for Presidential Status period

[@hockey1freak]

@@raymondchan4016 ends either way

[@CinemaSteve]

@@raymondchan4016 it goes away after the benefit ends meaning december 31, 2024 is the last day you'll have that specific status according to the fine print on the deal. So January 1 you'll be whatever Hertz status you earned, not free President's Circle anymore. What you need to do is status match it to National and they'll give you executive elite for an entire new year.

[@CinemaSteve]

@@raymondchan4016 Hertz President's Circle status offer: Cardholders must go through the above process to be successfully enrolled. Upon enrollment, eligible cardholders will remain at that status level through December 31, 2024, at which point they will be reverted to the level commensurate with Hertz standard usage policies. That's from their fine print

Got lucky and found JFK to HND first class on ANA for next March, through Virgin, during a transfer bonus. 132,000 points round trip. Call them first and if there's availability, they can hold it while your transfer your miles. Don't transfer until you confirm availability.

[@AskSebby]

Nice! Agree, always make sure there’s availability first before transferring.

Hi all, silly question but I was given a couple of stand by tickets to use in 2025. In planning on using the Denver Airport to travel to Mexico City with Aeromexico. Anybody know if you can access a Capital 1 lounge with stand by ticket if I have the Venture X ? I guess the answer is no but worth asking. Thanks in advance

[@vitorvisions]

I couldn't find the boomerang but I'll answer the questions. 1, I bought tickets to Australia so I could get the bonus points for putting so much on the card in the first 3 months. 2, yes added my parents and in-laws so they can all have primer pass. 3, as a family we benefited from no overseas CC fees. Personally I enjoyed the global entry credit.

[@harryschuster2496]

Hey, I am interested as to why you think Qantas is a top tier transfer partner. I am just not very aware of their use case. Would appreciate a video on it, or a 1-sentence reply to this comment!

[@AskSebby]

Qantas has a wide network of airline partners you can book, not just OneWorld www.qantas.com/us/en/qantas-experience/network-and-partner-airlines.html

[@muji52]

thanks a lot for the video, it is a great video. I am new for this, am considering to apply. How do we get primer pass for having this card? do we just stand in the line for primer boarding, or how. thanks for advice,

[@chasingadeline]

Okay, I found that when you book travel through Venture’s portal, the plane tickets are generally higher compared to using Chase’s travel portal. For example, in our case, it was $100 more per traveler.

[@LolafromSF]

Is there a way to sign up for the Priority Pass even if you haven't received the physical credit card yet?

[@BronxY2k2]

It hasn't been too good when I've traveled and used it in FL in the US. It feels similar to regular status. There is an additional discount that you can get though, so that is nice.

[@ariesdr5502]

They are dropping that option in November. I just got a Citi strata to go with my Vx because they revamped

[@marcosmendoza9971]

Question, my brother added me as an authorized user. Do I need to make a priority pass account? I tried and doesn’t let me. Or since he has one and I’m added I just have access?

[@thebeardedtraveler3666]

So I have the the savor one card. I only use that but also still have my old quicksilver card open I don’t use. So I would have to close that to get venture x?

[@ariesdr5502]

Best combo VX and savor one. You maybe able to allocate majority of qs credit limit all but 500 to the savor one and then close qs. It should report good for 10 years hopefully it’s not your oldest card.

[@thebeardedtraveler3666]

@@ariesdr5502 QS is my oldest active card. I did a pre qualify and says I’m good to get it. Or does that not see me having 2 capital one cards?

[@vidoan3191]

For the $300 travel credit, can I book with any airline or have to book with transfer partners?

[@AskSebby]

The travel credit is only valid when use you the Capital One travel portal. Any flight you find there and book works.

[@mayachelsie4072]

I haven't traveled much all year and I have a big trip in December to places in Asia. My annual credit expires in November, so I booked airfare and two nights at a hotel for free using that credit. 🙌

Congrats!

[@qbills]

A few things I find worth noting: 1. All AUs also get to enjoy Hertz President's Circle 2. Most Auto Rental companies have a waybto status match. So even if somebody prefers to rent through Enterprise, they can sign up for Hertz President's Circle and status match with Enterprise... I find it's worth status matching to a few companies to find the better deal wherever traveling. 3. Airline status is honored/observed by an airline even when booking through a travel portal such as Capital One's. This is NOT the case for earning hotel points. (I am unsure of car rental companies)

[@october490]

I would love if you put transfer point bonuses. I have a vent x and love it. Im on year 3 or 4.

[@2arias2]

Only thing I hate about the portal is that EVERYTHING I've ever booked though the portal is always more expensive than Expedia etc, so it's a hassle to call after the booking to get a price match.

[@mumuzeze]

Yes! Plus booking has free cancellation and it’s always extra on the portal 😢

[@JoeL-e4m]

For those that are married what's the strategy to have both get something like tsa precheck with a card like this? Two identical cards?

[@markmurphy599]

I have a question regarding my Venture X. I am being told that they are doing a review of my account because my spend is well under my credit limit. This is true since it is one of many cards I have and use it mostly for the perks. My question is whether it is worth trying to tell them I am planning to use it more and hope to stop them from reducing my credit limit or just let them go and continue using the card as I have been?

[@usapatriot5078]

Another great video. Thank you!

[@jona2080]

Lack of domestic airline partners hurts C1. Transfer partners are almost worthless if you don’t live by a major city. Don’t wanna pay for a repositioning flight and would rather book out of my regional airport

[@hockey1freak]

American doesnt want partners for a reason. Delta Skypesos and United Mileagepennies are worthless anyway. Only Alaska has a transfer partner and is valuable. I live in Portland and don't mind booking a first class repositioning flight to get Alaska miles.

[@ServiceAceStud]

Hey Sebby. T-mobile does have auto pay discount, but only for debit cards. If you use a credit card this is not available. So for this video T-Mobile is a bad example as it particularly would not work. I've only had t mobile so I don't know another example to use.

[@tmcowling23]

You can work around this by manually paying for your bill with your credit card before the autopay date. You get the discount and get to use your credit card.

[@ServiceAceStud]

@@tmcowling23 ooo nice good to know. When they changed that rule I didn't think twice about a possible work around.

[@basilhamed3039]

@@tmcowling23 wow really ? I did not know that

[@Vscounter]

People on older plans, like the Simple Choice plan through T-Mobile, does not get an Autopay discount. It applies nicely to those 😊

[@hockey1freak]

The second the bill email comes in I pay manually with my Ink Preferred and leave $1 on the bill. Then the debit pays off the $1 autopay. Done.

[@karlwaage1823]

🪃 The first thing I did was sign up for PP, second was signed up for Hertz President’s Club. I’ve added my wife and my daughter (she is going to college soon) This is fun as we occasionally travel in a larger group so we get a bunch of people into the lounge at DIA. My favorite perk is a tie actually. I love the Hertz PC. That once saved the family in NYC when our plane to Boston was cancelled and people were waiting at Hertz for a car. We simply walked up and grabbed one. And the other half of the tie is the lounge access. We get to the airport early every time and grab a bite at the lounge and we have used our Priority Pass at many international airports. Lounges make traveling much more pleasant. I love my Venture X.

[@Jason-pj9pb]

Sebby, i'm interested in this Card..do you think they'll offer the 90k bonus miles again at some point? I know the standard is 75k, but i've heard to try holding out for a better deal as a new member or a friends referral...

[@FluffiestWalrus]

Hi guys, I’ve been out of the point game for a bit. I remember you used to be able to get business class seats for 60k-80k to fly to places like Japan. But now it seems like these flights are 300k-400k. Did something big change that I’m not realizing?

Priority pass lounges for vx have unlimited guests. 2 guests for cap one lounges. Bankrate is wrong on this. I bring in six people at a time like 3 or 4 per year.

Whenever I go with my wife to Cap One lounges with our 2 kids, they dont even make her take out her VX. Maybe they dont count kids :shrug:

[@jmlinden7]

CapitalOne doesn't impose a guest limit on priority pass lounges, but individual lounges may have a limit. So you can bring in as many guests as the lounge will allow.
