Our Verdict
The Venture X card launched in 2021 with a 100k signup bonus, and it hasn’t been that high since. (At launch it was a bit better with a $200 VRBO credit on top.) The standard offer has been 75,000 with a lower $4,000 spend. For those who can manage high spend this offer is superior.
Same 100k bonus is available via referral link, so help out a friend and use theirs. No referral links in the comments below.
