Yes, kudos/hat tip to Invisible. Just followed that process and the Venture X was added. I read on another thread about doing it while in the country, however, adds stress and "hope" one of the cards you brought with...works.

Thanks for enabling my upcoming trip to be that less worrisome.

Side note: I think a reason some CC companies don't allow text verification is b/c of spoofing/cloning someone's phone to receive said message, etc. It's in part why you're starting to see 2FA being pushed to consumers. That said, Americans don't like anything which makes it more difficult to spend $$, so rather than be secure, they'd rather be blissfully unaware While not 2FA, the newest Pixel is rolling out VPN, so that could be a future way to get around turning off location services for the app.
