I love credit cards so much! v7.0 - 2025 (see first page for add'l details)

Does anyone know how to check when the Amex Precheck/GE benefit was used? I have multiple cards and have paid for several family members and I should have kept track. Mine is expiring next year, so I'm just trying to figure out which card to use. I can see the date on Chase but not Amex.

I'd seen reports in the past of issues with the mcgc... is this still a thing?

I've never had an issue with them (knock on wood) but I know some have had in the past.

Thank you! I am going to make the trek to Staples and hope they have them out.

For anyone trying to max out those UR's before 10/26 buying GC's at Staples, MCGC are fee free this week. Likely to have VGC's fee free next week if the normal pattern holds up.

They had them at my staples. Sucks that I can never get the ones at Office Depot since the savings is higher.

I will head over to Sam’s Club and flip these to Disney GC’s. I love that you can split payment in person at Sam’s so I don’t get stuck with small amounts on the prepaids

I know that Capital One Venture X lounge access for authorized users is going away in 2026.

But my younger daughter is going to Europe at the end of this month with her grandmother. She is an authorized user on my COVX account. Is the lounge access available for her? If so, does she need to sign up for priority pass in advance? She doesn't have her own login on CO.

I know my older daughter used the lounge access benefit in the past as an authorized user on my COVX, but we can't remember what she did at the time. Lol.

Not the end of the world if she can't use it anymore but it may be nice for her to utilize the benefit at least once before it goes away.

Any advice would be appreciated. When I try to google the information, all posts are about the changes in 2026!

I chat with them through the app when I am not sure if I have a used a benefit or not.

She is eligible until February. I believe it’s when the change goes through. There used to be a website that you can enroll authorize users that I did in the past now it is making you do it through the app, but obviously that doesn’t work too well for authorized users unless she signs up for a login of her own and links, the authorized user card to herself.

I would call capital one the number on the back of your venture X and ask to have her enrolled. Make sure you give the authorized card number to the rep so they can see it’s in her name. Since the trip is coming soon, I would also see if they could give you a digital card that she could download on her phone before they send you the hard copy of the card.
