I want to receive the card and activate it soon, as I have a property tax payment that is due by Jan 31, 2022, and I want to put the payment on the Venture X to help meet the minimum spend.
Thanks.
I got mine pretty quick, within the 3 days, but I applied the day the card was announced. Interestingly, I applied for a Chase card more than 5 business days ago and I still haven't received it, so maybe all mail is just a bit slow right now for some reason.

Data point about the $200 vacation rental credit:
We booked an Airbnb on Dec 12 and got the credit on Dec 15. But we had to cancel the booking, and were refunded the entire amount, which posted to our account on Dec 22. It's been almost a month since then, and the $200 credit is still there, no clawback.

Data point about the travel portal price match guarantee:
We booked a hotel through the portal and found a cheaper rate through a deal on agoda.com. Called in to request a match, and they said they would look over it. They reached out to us the next day to tell us that our match request was denied. I suspect this is either because agoda had a special promotion going on, or because the booking was non-refundable, whereas the only option we had through the travel portal was for a refundable booking.

Has anyone tried to use the Hertz President's Circle status that comes with this card (or any of the other rental car benefits that come with Visa Infinite) when booking through the travel portal? I called Capital One to ask about how that would work, since there isn't a way to put in a Hertz loyalty number when making the booking through the portal, and they said I could call Hertz after making the booking and ask them to add the loyalty info to the booking by hand. Has anyone tried this?
If that doesn't work, what benefits can you still get from the status? Can you tell someone at the Hertz counter when you get there that you have status and still get a free upgrade or something?

Does anyone know if the TSA pre-check/Global entry credit applies to each AU, so like you get the credit twice if two AUs pay for TSAPC/GE with the card, or is it just a single credit?
