A word of warning to anyone who intends to use their Venture/VentureOne to earn 10X at hotels.com/venture...
If you pay for part of the booking with a gift card, and then use your Venture/V1 for the rest, you DO NOT get 10X miles. I just found this out the hard way after PCing my QS to V1 just for this purpose and earning a measly 1.25%.
The site does tell you that you need to book the prepaid rate to get 10X.
EDIT: Nevermind... the rest of the points showed up a week later. Of course this was after I'd paid the rest of it.
Hard lesson learned
