My question is for those who better understand and/or know these things better than I do. With frequent spending of 20-30k a month, which of these two cards is better for general spend. I am giving one of them to my assistant to pay for some reimbursable business expenses, but I am not sure which one would generally be more adventageous. Historically, I have always used my Amex Platinum, however, I am questioning whether the Venture might be a better reward?
Im looking for travel rewards, if that helps. I can transfer the points to airlines/hotels, etc: What I am really asking is the overall point valuation better for amex or venture?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

If you transfer the Amex MR points to airlines/hotels (which you should) the MR points are worth quite a bit more than the Capital One points which are entirely on a reimbursement basis. Even better would be using a Chase card that earns UR points :-)

Thanks, Irish - you're awesome! I did a quick google search for something like this and couldnt find one. Thanks for the help!
Exactly. I was going to ask how your MRs are earned. (That sounds super simplistic, but what I mean is this: with my Ameriprise platinum you get 5k MR extra with every 20k spend up to 30k extra MR. Does your platinum have this?)
