OK, ya.  The Swan and Dolphin are a great location.  I stayed there some years ago.  Easy access by BOAT to both Epcot and Disney word.

Good news?  They let you personalize your card picture because they are shitty Capital One.  Bad news?  Couldn't find the KATPAK headcover or nacho cheese that met the picture size requirements.

The picture has to be HUGE!

Mine is going to be awesome!  :love:

The boards have confirmed the "miles in the account right now" and not "miles spent on the card card" is the requirement so, bsacially, Capital One has no idea what's going on and flyertalk'ers are going to rape them.

capital one is matching miles up to 100k for signing up for the venture card. it also has a 10k bonus of it's own. so, since I have over 100k united miles I should get 110k venture miles. they aren't actually miles you spend but are credits for travel purchases made on the card. 110k is worth $1,100.  so, essentialy, they just hand you $1,100 if you have 100k miles in any one account. You can purchase the travel however you want and just mark it on the card as a travel cost and it gets reimbursed to you.  flyertalk seems to think the billion miles will go fast.  also, you can really see the old hamster in the wheel turning on those mileage run people turning this into millions of miles.  It's great for me because I'm always using up hotel miles and always have a ton of airline miles.  can fly somewhere on miles and then spend $1,100 on rental car/hotel.  mrs. dave always wants to stay at boutique type places (I know  :rolleyes: ) and now I can humor her.

advice on this venture card - i have 100k miles split between a continental account and a united account.  should i try to merge them before applying?  would either be better than the other as the lucky survivor account?

They'll be merged by the end of 2011 anyway.  See the link at the top of this page.

I would sign up for a free trial of something that will tell me my score.  Cancel that trial, and then there are websites that'll give you a good idea of the cards you'll qualify for.

sonofabitch.  did this and found out my score is relatively dece.  makes me even madder than these elitist free-mile cards keep turning me down.  i need to find out why so i can lie to them effectively.

Yeah, I was pretty psyched.  Thought I was going to be stuck with only a Hilton option and had been using that card lately, but wasn't going to come close to what I needed for their $350/night Embassy.  Looks like the Westin is going to be nearly as good for my purposes and will have made a $1200 or 50K point stay only cost 30K.

approved for the venture card.  i may have figured out the answers they're looking for.  or maybe they just aren't so selective.  the personalized image that comes with my 1100 travel dollars is going to make it hard to cancel the card when the time comes.

so you have 45 days after approval to produce the miles statement.  hmm....I've probably got a couple weeks before I earn my AA miles. cutting it close if I sign up today.

I'm assuming I won't get the miles anyway until I produce the statement.  I unfortunatley got sidetracked and haven't earned my miles yet.  To boot, I used a $1500 purchase link but it was when they had the $4k purchase for 75k miles, so I'm not entirely sure how much I'm going to have to spend.   Any way to verify?
