Ben, I have to thank you. While I don't know if the Venture X is in my future (due to Capital One's restrictive approvals), your coverage of the Capital One cards has pushed me to critically review my card strategy. Unless and until something happens with Capital One, no changes. But, your recent articles pushed me toward reaffirming things. Thanks again.
We have expat family living in the middle east, their home airport has a Plaza Premium lounge. While they really should get their own Venture X cards they've absolutely loved the lounge access from their auth user cards on my account... It's the gift that keeps on giving, Clark.
Wow just wow. Can't believe I didn't even think about this option. Was gonna add my significant other to my plat so that they could have lounge access when I am not travelling with them but this is way more cost effective and gives at least some lounge coverage. Granted if they will be flying Delta maybe the sky clubs would be a nice feature and the centurion lounges but between paying the money and getting it for free it seems like the venture X is the better call. With the travel credit its a card I don't really mind holding on to in the long term whereas the platinum AF makes it iffy each year as to whether I want to hold on to it.
It appears that lounge access for authorized users will require am additional fee of $125 beginning on 1 February 2026.
