Without a doubt, the most powerful tool for rewards is Credit Card spending: spending multipliers, sign-up bonuses, and retention offers. While restaurant reward programs, airline loyalty programs, and shopping portals can all provide outstanding returns, the foundation of any rewards strategy will always be built on strategic credit card usage.

This episode discusses my card setup for the second quarter of 2023. I discuss several cards I plan to use heavily for the next three months:

The Venture X card is possibly the most valuable of the “premium card”  offerings currently available from major card issuers, including the  American Express Platinum Card and the Chase Sapphire Reserve Card. It  has been trendy over the past year. 

Overall, I consider the Capital One Venture X one of the best premium  travel cards on the market. The $395 compensates through credits, the  sign-up bonus is generous, the multiplier is simple, but above average  for general spending, and the benefits are excellent. For these reasons,  Venture X is an absolute “keeper card” in my wallet that I intend to  renew year after year.

If you are interested in Venture X and would like to support The Rewards Master, we will receive a referral bonus if you apply  through this link: https://www.capitalone.com/credit-cards/lp/referrals/?referralCode=P9V7J7NZ&customerName=Lenora&programCode=3014&pId=923812&oC=COFR58RSsw

On a recent trip, I flew out of Sacramento International Airport in the Capitol city of California. The lounge options are limited there with no  Centurion, Delta, United, or American lounges. Likewise, Priority Pass has no affiliate lounges in Sacramento. The only two lounge options are two Escape Lounges, Centurion Studio Partners, located in terminals A  and B.
