Then learn about the BIG changes to the Capital One Venture lounge access in 2026 and beyond. Click “Show More” to see Ad Disclosure. It looks like the golden era of "free for everyone" is officially over. As of February 1, 2026, Capital One has overhauled the lounge access rules for the Venture X card. If you’ve been coasting on those complimentary guest passes or free authorized user (AU) access, your next airport visit might come with a side of "sticker shock." In this video, I’ll break down exactly what changed, who is most affected (hint: families), and the one "big spender" loophole that can still get you free guests. 🛑 What Changed on February 1st? The days of bringing your entire travel squad into the lounge for free are gone. Here’s the breakdown of the new fee structure: Authorized Users: No longer free for lounge access. Primary cardholders must now pay a $125 annual fee per AU (up to 4) to grant them access to Capital One Lounges and Priority Pass. Capital One Lounge Guests: Unless you meet the spend requirement, guests now cost $45 per adult and $25 per child (ages 2–17). Priority Pass Guests: On the personal Venture X, there are no more free guests. Every guest will now cost $35 per visit. 💰 The $75,000 "Loophole" If you are a high spender, you can bypass the guest fees—but only for Capital One’s own lounges. If you spend $75,000+ in a calendar year on your Venture X: a. You unlock 2 free guests per visit at Capital One Lounges. b. You unlock 1 free guest at Capital One Landings. This benefit lasts for the remainder of the current year and the following calendar year. Warning: Even if you hit the $75k spend, you still have to pay the $35 fee for guests at Priority Pass lounges.
