So I long ago closed my Venture card.

I still have a less than $1 credit balance on another C1 card.

For the longest time, I was still able to click on my miles on the account home screen, and book car rental for $.

It would warn me that miles were not available for use, but would let me get the PHAT deals on car rental.

Now it says "not currently available" and to call in.

When I call in, it asks for my account number.

I think it's over unless I reopen/reapply for Venture

Any backdoor tricks to get the car rental again?

Is there a thread on this somewhere already??
