The Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card has had a lot of hype around it since coming out in 2021, and for good
reason. The $395 annual fee is basically cancelled out by the $300 annual travel credit and 10,000 annual miles
(worth $100) beginning on your first anniversary. What makes things even better is that like many other premium
cards, this card comes with unlimited visits to Priority Pass and Plaza Premium lounges for you and
two guests and unlimited access to Capital One lounges which will be popping up more and more over
the next couple years.
If all of that wasn't enough, the Venture X card allows you to add up to four free
authorized users, all of whom also get unlimited Priority Pass memberships. If you have multiple people in your
household, this card is as good as it gets.
Prefer a card with access to a wider variety of lounge networks?
The Platinum Card® from American Express provides more lounge access than any other Credit Card or program on the planet. It includes unlimited visits for you and two guests at all of these major lounge programs:
- Centurion Lounges (simply by showing up and flashing your card)
- Priority Pass lounges (you can enroll in this perk from your Amex account - Priority Pass will mail you a membership card!)
- Plaza Premium lounges (again, just show up to the lounge and present your card)
- and Delta SkyClubs (when traveling on a Delta flight - again, simply show up at the lounge and give them your platinum card and boarding pass)
By having this card in your wallet you will have multiple lounge options almost anywhere in the U.S. or abroad!
Oh, and don't be intimidated by the $695 annual fee. Between the annual statement credits, Amex offers, travel insurance and more this card can really pay for itself every year.
