Unlocking the Benefits of Venture X Priority Pass Restaurants

With Venture X Priority Pass restaurants, you can enjoy fine dining and casual eats at over 1,300 locations worldwide.

These restaurants offer a range of cuisines, from Italian to Asian fusion, so you can try something new every time.

In addition to the variety of options, Venture X Priority Pass restaurants also offer a high level of quality, with many locations serving up fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

From quick bites to multi-course meals, there's something for every taste and budget.

If you're a Venture X or Venture X Business cardholder, you're in luck - you get complimentary access to Priority Pass lounges. You can enter a lounge by showing your same-day boarding pass, ID, and one of the following Priority Pass credentials: a digital membership card, a physical membership card, or your Capital One Venture X card.

Your digital Priority Pass card is instantly available after enrollment, and you'll also receive a physical card in the mail within two weeks. I personally received my physical card in just two days after being approved, and was able to register for my Priority Pass membership right away.

To enroll, head to prioritypass.com/capitalone and enter your 16-digit Capital One Venture X card number. You'll then go through the enrollment process, which includes sharing some personal details and verifying your card number.

After enrollment, you'll have instant access to your digital Priority Pass card, and a physical card will be mailed to you. In my case, it took about two weeks for my physical card to arrive, and it has 11 digits - starting with "104" in my case.

You can add up to four authorized users to the Capital One Venture X at no extra cost, and they each receive a Priority Pass membership as well. For the Capital One Venture X Business, however, authorized users don't receive a Priority Pass membership.

To activate your Venture X Priority Pass membership, you'll need to follow the instructions provided by Capital One. You can start by visiting the Venture X Priority Pass page or following the link from your Capital One Priority Pass welcome email.

The process is straightforward, and you'll need to enter your 16-digit Venture X card number, without any spaces or dashes, to begin. You'll then select your country of residence and follow the steps to provide your address and create an account.

You'll need to enter your billing details, but don't worry, you won't be billed for your membership - these details will simply help identify you when you arrive at a participating Priority Pass lounge. After that, you'll read and accept the membership declaration and click Join.

Once you've enrolled, you can sign in to your account through the Priority Pass website or mobile app, where you can search for the airport of your choice to explore available lounges.

Here are the steps to activate your Venture X Priority Pass membership:

After activation, you'll have instant access to your digital Priority Pass card, and a physical card will be mailed to you within two weeks.

Using Priority Pass at airport restaurants is a great way to enjoy a meal on the house. You'll typically receive a $28-$30 dining credit per person, which can be used at participating restaurants.

To use your Priority Pass, simply present your card to the restaurant staff, either physical or digital, and let them know you're a member. This will get you started on your way to a complimentary meal.

You can bring a guest with you, depending on your membership type, and they'll also receive a credit. This can be a great perk if you're traveling with someone.

Some restaurants, like Bobby Van's Steakhouse at JFK, offer a $28 credit per guest. This means you can enjoy high-quality steakhouse fare without breaking the bank.

Just remember to tip based on the pre-discounted bill, so you can fairly compensate your server. This is a great opportunity to show your appreciation for good service.

Here's a quick rundown of what to expect:

Using Priority Pass can be a fantastic way to enjoy airport dining at a discounted rate. You can add up to four authorized users to the Capital One Venture X at no extra cost, and they each receive a Priority Pass membership as well.

To use your Priority Pass at an airport restaurant, present your card to the restaurant staff upon arrival and show them your card, either physical or digital. They'll let you know the details of using your membership to get dining credit.

Each member and guest receives a $28–$30 dining credit, though exact amounts vary by restaurant. Charges over the credit limit are your responsibility.

You might be able to bring a guest, depending on your membership type, and they'll also be eligible for a credit. So, if the restaurant credit is $28 per person but you're allowed to bring a guest, you could charge up to $56 per table for the two of you and receive the full credit amount.

Remember to tip based on the pre-discounted bill to fairly compensate your server.

Before you dine, review the details of using your Priority Pass membership on the Priority Pass website to see if any conditions apply to your discounted dining experience. Find your airport and restaurant to see if any requirements apply, including requirements for access, item eligibility, and guest allowances.

One thing to watch out for is using up limited free member visits on a meal credit when you might get more out of using it for an actual lounge visit.

Priority Pass can be a great asset for travelers, especially with the restaurant credit.

The value of Priority Pass depends on your specific airport, as well as the type of credit card you hold.

For travelers without lounge access through an airline, Priority Pass offers an affordable way to enjoy lounge and dining benefits.

Just because you can get credit on a meal at a Priority Pass restaurant doesn’t mean it’s always the best idea.

Whether or not using your Priority Pass dining benefit is worth it depends on the specific airport and your credit card type.

You might eat more than $28 worth of free food at a lounge that offers it, so be mindful of your spending.
