I have a chase sapphire preferred, discover it, and Wells Fargo platinum card. I am thinking about getting either the savor one or the venture one card. I generally prefer travel benefits to Cashback, but I’m still learning how to compare these benefits so I’m not sure.
It does seem like the venture one would pair better with my existing cards. Chatgpt agrees lol, and suggested that I use the discover it card for rotating Cashback categories, the venture one for everyday expenses, and the chase sapphire preferred for travel expenses. And keep the Wells Fargo as a back up.
I asked it to make a plan if I switched out the venture one with the savor one, and it said to use the savor one for dining and entertainment.
It said based on the cards I have, the venture one would be the best to pick. Do y’all agree?
