When you add a Capital One Venture X Card authorized user, they will receive their own credit card, sent to your mailing address, within 7-10 business days of being added to the account. The authorized user’s credit card will be linked to your account and will have full access to the account’s credit limit. Capital One authorized users are able to make purchases and earn rewards. However, they cannot track purchases, report issues, redeem rewards, or close accounts.
