Congrats Sasha, if a card works for you thats all that matters. I just find C1 too complicated for my average needs. Too many loops to jump through. It works for many but along with Sir Barclay, two companies i can never join anyway so ill rest peacefully on the sidelines watching everyone take turns on those rollercoasters
Congrats Sasha.

I really don't see any benefit to the Venture One over the QS..???
I know you want a travel card, but the Venture One is not really a "travel card" it is a cash back card that can only be redeemed for travel expenses (unless you want cash back then it has an even lower value).
So QS, you get 1.5% cash back on anything
V1 you get 1.25% cash back only on travel and less if you want actual cash back.
IMO, it makes a lot more sense to just keep the QS and use the cash back for travel or whatever you want.
^^^ This.
As long as you're happy that's all that matters, but just FYI you will now earn less rewards than before. 
For new applicants there are a couple of reasons to consider the Venture One, namely it often has a better sign up bonus than the Quicksilver and it sometimes has an APR that's 1% lower than the Quicksilver, but after that it's always recommended to upgrade a Venture One to a QS since the rewards are higher (and unrestricted).
The good news is that in six months you'll be eligible to PC back.

oh well.. im still over here laughing at cap1 that i got my way in the end... and im happy and i dont want to go back..besides since im such a goody 2 shoes i never used my cash back for anything other than to reduce my balance.. i have my discover for cash back rewards anyway---which ive also been applying toward the balance like a dope but just yesterday i opened a discover savings account.
of course i let BF transfer his 2% paypal rewards to his paypal and use them to buy what he wants... 😂
As long as you're pleased with what you have is really all that matters; I'm only mentioning the specifics here to make sure you're informed about what you're doing.
Some people use a specific card due to the color or design, and that's cool, too... to each his/her own.
Personally, I like to maximize my rewards as much as possible. Back when my BCP was only at $1k, I used it hard... my saying at the time was I wanted to "make 'em pay!"... as in, pay me more rewards. I was annoyed that my CL was lower than my other cards, but my primary concern was earning a higher rewards rate, not chasing higher credit lines (the CL was a concern as well, but was secondary - rewards are always tops with me).
While most of us here are concentrating on maximizing rewards, it's sometimes easy to forget other people might have other goals, which of course is fine as well. I only mention the specifics of the Venture One/QS in this thread for others who might be reading.
I'll close by mentioning to always remember the old Chinese curse... "May your every wish be granted...".
