Chase Sapphire Preferred vs Capital Venture One
So this has been discussed before and it seems most people seem to think the Sapphire is without question better than the Venture card. My question is: why is that so obvious? Just because you can transfer UR points to UA/Southwest?
Absent the transfer options to UA/Southwest, it seems the Capital One would be the better card -- lower annual fee, guaranteed 2% back. Is the transfer option the only thing that tips the balance to Sapphire for you guys? And if so, would you feel different if your schedules weren't flexible enough to plan travel around award availability? Obviously you can get more than 2% redemption value booking UA awards, but if someone doesn't have much flexibility it seems the guaranteed 2% back with Cap One is a better choice. Am I missing something?
