Thoughts
Doesn’t seem necessary given the cards only had two passes to start. Don’t think this perk was around long enough to sell people on moving up to the Venture X or business version. Perhaps Capital One is trying to push people to upgrade. Could also be looking at the lounge space to avoid overcrowding as others have faced.
