then you need to spend $1,100 ON YOUR VENTURE card
then you need to redeem those points for statement credits on your VENTURE CREDIT CARD STATEMENT so when the bill comes its really $0.

But if you don't have the $1,100 in credits to pay of the $1,100 you spent on the miles, then you can't buy the miles unless you have an extra $1,100 lying around. If you don't have $1,100 lying around and buy the miles now, you'll be forced to pay interest on that until you get the $1,100 in credit.
So it seems to me that the timing would matter, but I could just not be understanding something completely
