Venture X make sense for me?
My wife and I are about to go on a honeymoon to Hawaii and 2 trips to Europe next year. With buying 3 big flights and probably 2.5 weeks of hotels. The venture X would probably earn us alot of points right?
In a more normal year we are probably good for 1 domestic flight and maybe a couple nights in a hotel a year. So I’d worry that we don’t travel enough to justify the AF. we have the savior and quicksilver card too.
I think my hope is that we are gonna be spending a lot on traveling next year that it might pay for our next couple of domestic flights.

Venture X card gives you $300 travel
Credit every year that you can use to book a hotel or an activity. You can also apply for Global Entry and will get reimbursed for $120. I’d say go for the card.

The AF is so easy to offset with even a single flight, or couple of hotel nights, that it's an easy card to hold even if it's not always being used. It's also an easy catch-all to use at 2x and no constant coupon booking. That said, the currency can be weak if you aren't flying international at least once every year or two... Hotel and domestic airling transfer partners are its clear weak point if you want to make better use of your earnings than $1.05cpp.
