I was also looking at the capital one venture x for primary rental car insurance. I don't commute so I don't see much real advantage to the United cards with the club membership, but was more curious if there are better card options that would earn you more points or discounted travel on United? Same goes for the Hilton or Marriott cards, if there are better options for stays and status? Any real world experiences on the best options would be great.
