I just traded my Venture One card for a Venture Rewards card. $60 annual fee, but I get two "miles" for every dollar I spend. To redeem "miles" I apply them to travel related charges on my card.

If you spend $1k per month on your card, that's 24,000 miles a year, or $240 applied to your travel expenses. Given that airline miles are nearly impossible to use, this is a waaaay better deal. I charge everything I can on my card, which equates to one free round trip flight to SXM per year.
