Preach it, brother! These “elite” status CC are ridiculous. If you are able to get one, you probably don’t need it cause you have more money than most people or you are carrying massive debt cause it...

Generally if your home airport is one that has a high end (non PP) lounge then it's a major, very busy, airport where you want to get there early enough you're gonna have at least an hour (or more)...

thanks for this. yes, it's not as bad as i thought initially. i'm glad they kept the $300 travel credit as that's something i'll use for sure and i don't have to think much about spending it. I don't...

when they had the restaurant credit, i used to arrive early at my home airport and get a hot meal. the PP lounge at my home airport is generally very crowded so it's a hit or miss nowadays.

Good point; in fact, sneaking guests in was a growing problem and it's a positive change to simply say: one membership per visitor required. No more free rides. If you want a seat, get in line and...

Yeah, no thanks. I want benefits for things I already buy...not a bunch of reasons to spend a ton more.
Had this, but got rid of it years ago. Then had an AMEX platinum, which I only found worth...

What's the best travel card now for lounges? We just got a Sapphire club in my hometown but since this fee increase, I'm not sure it's worth it.

I actually read an article about the change on the New York Times that points accrued until Oct can be redeemed at 1.5 the rate until Oct 2027.

How was anyone "sneaking" guests in? Entry with guests was part of the benefit.

if a company can't afford to maintain an offered benefit profitably, while other companies can, that seems a failure of the first company (Cap One in this case).
The alternative explanation is...

Completely disagree about Venture X, it's actually the best by far. No free guests is relevant to only a minority of freeloaders. The annual fee is low. The limitation to using the annual travel...

i think it really depends on the area but most PP lounges around my home airport are crowded. i'm sure we'll disagree but i'm glad that they are enforcing guests limits.

Wow, the new fee is now $795? I travel a lot and nowadays, using the lounge at any major airports is more and more difficult/challenging.

Good reason to not have this card. Having to use their portal to get the travel points…no thanks. Never really saw the value over just having Freedom and Unlimited.

I am calling this pressure on them to let you pretend you're some generous host to your pals and family, as dead weight on the economic model that we are relying upon. Every man for himself.

None of the freedom cards allow point transfers to hotels or airlines-- which is how you get vastly higher value out of your points.
You must have a paid UR point card to do that--- for years CSR...

Looks like the $300 travel credit is intact. Maybe it’s not as bad as I thought.

Thanks for the heads up, OP!
I scanned but didn't see it -- do these new rules go into effect in October for existing members? I.e., if we use points now, do we still get the 1.5x value?
