Is The Venture X STILL Worth It? (After The Nerfs)

💳 Capital One Venture X: https://spencerjohnsoncards.com/venturex 💳 Top Credit Cards: https://spencerjohnsoncards.com/bonuses Click ‘show more’ to see ad disclosure – Hey guys, as you’ve probably heard, Capital One recently announced major Venture X lounge access nerfs, and yeah, it’s not pretty. Starting in February 2026, authorized users and guests will lose free access unless you pay $125 per card or hit a $75K spend threshold. In this video, I break down what’s changing, how it compares to the Amex Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve, but more importantly, why I think the outrage might be overblown. I also walk through who actually benefits from these changes, who gets hit the hardest, and how this affects your overall credit card strategy. If you’re wondering whether to keep or cancel your Capital One Venture X card, or how it now stacks up against other premium travel cards, this should help clear things up. — 📩 Free Newsletter: https://spencerjohnsoncards.com/newsl... 📊 Card Management Spreadsheet: https://spencerjohnsonofficial.com/cr... 💵 Top Savings Accounts: https://spencerjohnsoncards.com/hysa 🛠 Tools I Use: https://spencerjohnsoncards.com/tools ☎️ 1-on-1 Call: https://spencerjohnsoncards.com/consu... 💬 Discord Community: https://spencerjohnsoncards.com/discord 📚 Chapters: 00:00 The Game Plan 01:05 New Venture X Lounge Access Policies 06:51 Amex Platinum vs Venture X vs Sapphire Reserve 10:38 Winners vs Losers 15:02 Why Did Capital One Do This? 18:10 My Rant About The Credit Card Space — Advertiser Disclosure: Some of the card links and other products that appear on this website are from companies with which YourBestCreditCards earns an affiliate commission or referral bonus.
