Capital One Venture X Lounge Access
Capital One revealed today upcoming changes to lounge access for Venture X and Venture X Business accounts. These changes mainly affect authorized users and guests, as they will need to pay for lounge access going forward.
Most of these changes will go into effect in February of next year. But restaurant access for those Venture X Business cardholders who still have it, will be gone later this year. let’s go over all the changes.
No Free Lounge Access for Authorized Users
Beginning Feb. 1, 2026, Venture X and Venture X Business additional cardholders will have to pay an annual lounge access fee of $125 per cardholder to get access to Capital One Lounges, Capital One Landings and Priority Pass lounges.
If you wish to add lounge access, you can do so for up to four additional cardholders for a Venture X Business account. The personal Venture X card has no such limit.
Primary Venture X and Venture X Business cardholders can still add free additional users, but they will not have lounge access.
Changes to Priority Pass Lounge Access
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.
Venture X Business primary cardholders will continue to receive complimentary access for two guests at Priority Pass lounges and their eligible additional cardholders will also receive complimentary access for two guests at Priority Pass lounges.
There’s also a notable change for those who have the Venture X Business Mastercard version. Beginning Sept. 9, 2025, they will lose access to Priority Pass non-lounge airport experiences, such as restaurants and more.
Capital One Lounges and Landings
Beginning Feb. 1, 2026, Venture X and Venture X Business cardholders can no longer bring free guests to Capital One Lounges and Landings.
Primary cardholders and eligible additional cardholders that spend at least $75,000 total across all cardholders on their Venture X or Venture X Business 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 toward 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 and Venture X Business primary cardholders and eligible additional cardholders will continue to get discounted pricing of $45 per guest per visit. Effective June 3, 2025, all Venture X, Venture X Business, Venture, and Spark Miles cardholders can purchase passes to Lounges and Landings at discounted rates of $25 for guests 17 and under, while children under 2 remain free.
