The Capital One Venture X card launched with incredible fanfare, but recent changes to its lounge access policy have many people asking: is it still worth it? In this honest review, I'll break down the good, the bad, and the newly changed to help you decide if this card is right for you.

We'll start with a brief history of the card, its uniquely low annual fee, and its biggest strengths: the simple earning structure and easy-to-use credits that avoid the dreaded "coupon book" style.

I'll also dive deep into what I don't like, specifically the major changes to lounge access coming in February 2026. These changes make it a much less attractive option for families and travelers with guests, putting it behind competitors like Chase and Amex.

Despite these changes, I'll explain why this card is staying in my wallet for its powerful combination of benefits and flexibility. I'll cover:

💳 The flat $300 annual travel credit and 10,000-anniversary miles
2️⃣ The straightforward 2X miles on all purchases
🌺The value of transfer partners and sweet spots like United flights to Hawaii
🛋️The new lounge policies for cardholders, authorized users, and guests

Ultimately, this video isn't here to convince you to get the card, but to give you all the information you need to make the right choice for your travel style.
