Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card Removing Restaurants from Priority Pass Benefit

This is sort of a bummer for those of us with Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Cards.

The card’s Priority Pass benefit will no longer be valid at participating airport restaurants. The change is effective on January 1, 2023. (New Year’s Eve dinner at Bobby Van’s in JFK T8, anyone? 🙂 )

American Express did the same thing several years ago with its Priority Pass benefits offered across a few cards.

The only credit card (at least, that I know of) still offering restaurant (and distillery and brewery) benefits as part of its Priority Pass feature is the Chase Sapphire Reserve®.

(Man, this hasn’t been a great week for airport lounge membership news.)

But there are still a few things to keep in mind.

The Venture X’s Priority Pass benefit allows cardholders to bring in unlimited guests. Plus, Venture X members can add up to four additional cardholders for free.

On top of that, Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Cardmembers can access dozens of other airport lounges worldwide thanks to its Plaza Premium perk. Plus, there’s the (growing) network of Capital One lounges; the only one open is at Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport (DFW).

Will I Cancel My Venture X Because of This Change?

Oh, heck no. My Venture X isn’t going anywhere. (Actually, it goes everywhere with me. It’s always in my wallet and I use it for non-bonused purchases because it earns at least 2X miles per dollar.)

And the Venture X’s $395 annual fee is very easy to earn back (and then some). I’m pleased with the card. Plus, the unlimited guests (though I rarely travel with more than one or two people who don’t have Priority Pass cards) and Plaza Premium benefits are a bonus.

I still hold a Chase Sapphire Reserve® and can use that card’s Priority Pass at airport restaurants if I really want to. (Though I can’t seem to find a lot of participating restaurants at the airports I frequent.)

Final Approach

The Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card’s Priority Pass Select benefit loses its airport restaurant feature at the end of this month. That makes the Chase Sapphire Reserve® a unicorn of sorts, as it’s the only card whose Priority Pass membership still gives users some sort of credit at participating airport restaurants.

That said, the Venture X still is a great card — and features Plaza Premium and Capital One Lounge access, too.

    Does the CSR have an option to add additional Priority Pass users to the card (like Amex Plat allows authorized users to get card for PP lounge access (NON restaurant PP lounges).

      Additional authorized CSR users are $75/year.

    This stinks. I really enjoyed the ability to make use of the restaurants. Still a value-packed card as you point out. I just hope this isn’t the begging of a greater trimming of benefits and/or higher fee for the card. You know the latter is coming at some point…

    Thankfully my Ritz Carlton and Citi Prestige still have access to PP restaurants. I want to let the Prestige go but I’m holding out hope that one day Citi will refresh and re-release this card.

    I assume that the non-restaurant, but non-club venues, like MinuteSuites or Be Relax will go away too?

      I believe it’s just restaurants, distilleries, and breweries.

    Chris,

    Any sense if they’re removing it from the Spark Business Elite, too? Haven’t seen any DPs on that.
