Announcing upcoming changes to Venture X airport lounge access
Capital One is dedicated to delivering a best-in-class airport lounge experience for our Venture X customers. As our lounges have grown in popularity, customers have increasingly encountered wait times in order to enter them.

To address this, we are making lounge access changes for additional cardholders (including authorized users and account managers) and guests. As the Venture X primary cardholder, you will continue to receive complimentary access to Capital One Lounges, Capital One Landings and Priority Pass™ lounges.¹

Please take the time to carefully review the changes below. We’ve also updated the Capital One Lounge and Landing and Priority Pass™ Terms & Conditions to reflect these changes.


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

Guest access changes

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.

About this message

¹Some cardholders may be required to re-enroll in Priority Pass to maintain access to Priority Pass lounges. If you are required to re-enroll, you may do so beginning February 1, 2026. Capital One will share additional information about how to re-enroll at this time. Capital One online access is required to enroll or re-enroll in Priority Pass. Priority Pass lounge access is subject to cardholder enrollment in Priority Pass.

²Due to this change, your additional cardholder’s Priority Pass Select membership will be canceled and membership card expired on February 1, 2026, unless you have paid the annual lounge access fee for that additional cardholder and processed their re-enrollment in Priority Pass. To enroll in a Priority Pass Select membership or be eligible for lounge access through payment of the $125 annual lounge access fee, additional cardholders must be at least 18 years old.
