Capital One Venture X Holders Get Free Access to Travel Company PRIOR

Insider’s experts choose the best products and services to help make smart decisions with your money (here’s how). In some cases, we receive a commission from our our partners, however, our opinions are our own. Terms apply to offers listed on this page.

• PRIOR is a luxury travel company that builds itineraries that accentuate local culture.
• Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card cardholders now receive a free PRIOR subscription ($149 value).
• Cardholders can also choose from unique PRIOR trips from within Capital One Entertainment.
• Read Insider’s guide to the best Capital One credit cards.

In early 2022, Capital One introduced its proprietary entertainment platform — fittingly titled Capital One Entertainment. Capital One Entertainment lets eligible cardholders book tickets to sports events, broadway shows, concerts, dining reservations, and more. And you can redeem both Capital One miles (at a rate of 0.8 cents per mile) and Capital One cash back for your entertainment.

Capital One is now enhancing this entertainment portal for anyone with the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card. It’s teamed up with PRIOR, a luxury travel company that curates experiences with an emphasis on local culture. You’ll be able to book exclusive trips constructed by PRIOR, and you’ll even get a subscription that retails for $149 per year.

Here’s everything you need to know about this new partnership.

We’re focused here on the rewards and perks that come with each card. These cards won’t be worth it if you’re paying interest or late fees. When using a credit card, it’s important to pay your balance in full each month, make payments on time, and only spend what you can afford to pay.

Capital One Venture X cardholders now have access to PRIOR

Inside Capital One Entertainment are exclusive experiences that you can’t book if you don’t have select Capital One credit cards.

The Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card is the only card that offers “premium” packages that can only be booked with miles (things like suite seats at NCAA Final Four games, tickets for concerts with access to a sound check with the headline artist, etc.).

Capital One is further broadening the gap between the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card and its other cards with exclusive access to PRIOR:

• Exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime trips for cardholders which can be purchased with either money or Capital One miles
• Free PRIOR Subscription — Access to a library of global travel guides, as well as a biweekly newsletter and early booking to the service’s pre-built trips (you can enroll here)

Per Capital One, here are the first three itineraries you can expect to book thanks to this partnership:

Savannah trip: March 23 – 26, 2023

This trip includes a stay at Perry Lane Hotel (a Capital One Premier Collection hotel), as well as a decadent black tie dinner and jazz performance at a historical Savannah mansion, cocktails, and dinner on a private terrace overlooking Savannah’s historic district at the iconic The Olde Pink House, followed by a nightcap at the haunted Cellar Bar. Also included are experiences like an underground walking experience of Savannah’s African American history with a Gullah Geechee Master Storyteller, followed by a private performance, and a traditional Low Country boil.

Sun Valley trip: June 29 – July 2, 2023

The trip to Sun Valley begins with a stay at the historic Sun Valley Lodge and a private dinner (via a gondola up Mount Baldy!) at the Roundhouse followed by star gazing on the terrace. Guests will also be able to take a wildflower walk to the top of Dollar Mountain to a local trout cookout, take part in a catch-and-release fly fishing experience led by local experts, and enjoy a private pontoon boat ride or kayak adventure across Redfish lake to a private beach picnic.

Napa and Sonoma trip: October 19-22, 2023

Guests experiencing the trip to Napa and Sonoma will have accommodations at the Madrona. The trip includes insider access to established and up-and-coming wineries and vintners accompanied by a master sommelier.

Guests also will be able to take part in a Tomales Bay oyster harvesting and tasting, Chez Panisse chef-prepared lunch in the vines, and a private dinner at award-winning restaurant Single Thread in Sonoma.

Trips for 2024 will be added to the portal soon.
