🔄 Card Terms Rechecked in October 2026: What Each Issuer Page Showed

Many cards were reworked in 2025 and 2026, and a lot of what ranks in search still describes the old versions. On October 15 and 16, 2026 we read the issuers' own product pages for the cards below and updated this site to match. Each item says what the page showed and on which date. Where a page left out a benefit that older articles still mention, we say the page did not list it; we do not say why. Welcome offers in particular change often, so check the issuer's page on the day you apply.

What is the Chase Sapphire Reserve annual fee now?

The Chase page showed $795 on October 15, 2026, plus $195 for each authorized user.

Do Venture X authorized users still get free lounge access?

Do not count on it. The Capital One page on October 15, 2026 described lounge access for primary cardholders and said benefits for other card roles may differ or carry fees.

Does the Southwest Priority card still have a $75 travel credit?

The Chase page on October 15, 2026 did not list one. It listed a $229 annual fee and 7,500 anniversary points.

Why do Amex offers say "as high as"?

Amex personalizes the welcome offer, so the amount you see when you apply can be lower than the top figure on the page.
