Nothing much... Just that if your profile supports it, CAP 1 computers will luv you and approve you for mega lines.  Just type in Venture approvals in the search feature and all the excitement will come up..

It's several months old now... They were giving high SL to just about everyone.  Now some of those people are getting decent CLIs as well.

Yep.  I think the word Venture would do it!  Smiley Wink  I believe they're still giving some awesome SCL's now.  Craziness!

Re: Venture Madness? What's going on?

Although Cap One is giving huge limits on the Venture and it may work for some, I think it was a very overrated bandwagon. You say you have a Quicksilver. The Venture, after year one, when the AF kicks in, is not a huge win over QS, and you are restricted to travel redemptions only if you want your full 2%.

 

To me, a huge limit on a restrictive card is not very exciting, but to each their own. I have a QS and would much rather stick to it then go for 0.5% more only redeemable for travel. However, a lot of people liked the Venture enough to app for it.

You also get full 2% when you redeem for gift cards

Agreed... I for one have changed my mind about this card.  Very very good card.

Can try to downgrade to venture one after the first year if you can't get AF waived.

Not a "great " card but there are worse this is a good card and is now my highest limit by 2k which is nice.

Good to know info from some of the responses here.  I am considering this card as well due to the SLs, but in terms of cash rewards, it seems I may be better off working with Freedom and BoA for CLI.
