Capital One lounge access policy changes effective 2/1/2026: Guest fee and AU fee

I saw some discussion of this in the business thread, but the changes apply to all Venture X cards.

Additional cardholder access changes
  • Beginning February 1, 2026, additional cardholders on Venture X accounts will not automatically have airport lounge access.
  • Primary cardholders can pay an annual lounge access fee of $125 per additional cardholder to maintain their lounge access. This will grant additional cardholders access to Capital One Lounges, Capital One Landings and Priority Pass lounges.
  • You can still keep or add additional cardholders without lounge access for no fee.
  • If you wish to add lounge access for your additional cardholders you’ll have the option to do so beginning February 1, 2026.¹
Priority Pass Lounges:
  • Beginning February 1, 2026, guests of Venture X cardholders will no longer receive complimentary access to Priority Pass lounges. At that time, Venture X primary cardholders and eligible additional cardholders can bring guests to Priority Pass lounges at a rate of $35 each per visit.²
Capital One Lounges and Landings:
  • Beginning February 1, 2026, guests of Venture X cardholders will no longer automatically receive complimentary access to Capital One Lounges and Landings.
  • Primary cardholders and eligible additional cardholders that spend at least $75,000 across their Venture X account per calendar year can bring up to two complimentary guests to Capital One Lounges and one complimentary guest to Capital One Landings per visit.
  • Cardholder spend towards the $75,000 threshold begins in the 2025 calendar year. Complimentary guest access is valid for the calendar year in which the $75,000 spend occurs and the following calendar year.
  • Venture X primary cardholders and eligible additional cardholders will continue to receive discounted pricing of $45 per guest per visit, and will now receive a discounted rate of $25 per visit per guest 17 and under.
  • Children under two remain free.
