I think venture card is decent (with sign up bonus) card from capital one, and you get 2x on every purchase and lower annual fee than say arrival+, so if you can't get those other cards from "prime" lenders, venture is an option.

I only pc'd quicksilver one into venture one to avoid paying annual fee.

I don't know the relative difficutly compared to Citi DC or Fid Amex, but I don't think it's MUCH easier.   And having redemptions restricted to travel for the extra 0.5% over QS, and paying $59 fee?   Still don't think it is worth it!, except as a get-and-dump card for the first year bonus.

you can redeem those miles as cash back, though i'm not sure if they cut the rewards in half if redeem it as cash back like barclay does.

Yes, you get a lower rate for anythiing other than travel redemption (albeit that covers a lot) hence why I view it as restricted.   With 2% everywhere cards offering unrestricted redemption, I don't think this card really has a place.
