"Customers reward companies that take care of them and that are on their side and and that create amazing experiences," said Jenn Scheurich, head of travel at Capital One. Capital One Venture X cardholders pay a $395 annual fee for that card, which comes with unlimited access to the company's lounges, as well as access for two guests. The general public can get in for $65 a visit.
