Capital One Rewards
Capital One Rewards
Capital One Rewards is the latest entrant to create a super-program to compete with the Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou and Amex Membership Rewards. Within 2 years, they have been able to bring more transfer partners than Citi or Chase. Only Amex offers more partners than Capital One. Capital One has not yet created a luxury flagship card with high annual fee and extensive amenities similar to Chase Sapphire Reserve, Citi Prestige or Platinum Amex. There are 4 Capital One credit cards that participate in the airline transfer program: Venture Rewards, VentureOne, Spark for Business and Spark Select for business.
Capital One works with 16 frequent flyer programs and three hotel frequent guest programs.
Airline partner programs are:

You can also redeem your Capital One points for travel purchases at a penny per mile. I do not recommend booking your travel through the Capital One Portal. Instead, you can book it with your preferred travel agent, third party site or even airline or hotel directly. Once the charge posts, you can use the Redeem Travel Purchases tab on the Capital One website within 90 days of purchase to reimburse those purchases against your points at penny per point with no minimums or maximums. The travel purchase category is very wide and includes flights, hotels, Airbnbs, Ubers, taxis, trains and so on.
Capital One came a long way in just a couple of years to become a great alternative to Amex, Citi, and Chase. We previously did not consider Capital One Venture and Spark cards top-tier travel cards for travelers. Yet, with the improved exchange rates as of October 2021 and the departure of Citi Prestige, the Capital One card is now a contender. It is an excellent option for those looking for a low annual fee card, simplicity of use, and a wide range of airline transfer partners. Venture Card is probably the better choice of their card lineup for travelers. It comes with 2 points for any purchase, which is equivalent to 2 miles with most of their travel partners, including all three major global alliances. It also comes with all Visa Signature benefits (extended warranty, purchase protection, collision damage waiver for car rentals, and concierge service). Capital One shopping is another nice perk that gives you an additional 5 percent back on hotels booked through Expedia, Hotwire, Travelocity, VRBO accommodations, and many other shopping benefits. If you do not want to spend time tracking bonus categories and enjoy very simple redemption, this is the card for you.
Choose where you are going from and to by selecting the respective zones. There are two ways to choose your origin and destination - you can either select the zones they fall into on the map or by clicking on the bars above the map and entering the city name or airport code into the search fields.
- Choose one of the three point combination options which is applicable to you. If you don't have any miles in any airline accounts you can leave those fields blank.
- Input all of the different points you have on the credit cards you are planning to use. You can enter as many as you like. If you have multiple cards on one name from the same bank you can combine and enter the total amount of points between all of your cards.
- Enter all the miles you have in airlines frequent flyer programs on the left hand side following the airlines name.
- Once you input the information, click on the analyze button at the bottom of the page.
- The analyzer will offer you the optimal transfer combinations to explore as well as pros and cons of each.
- Review analyzer recommendations. Total number of miles is not the only consideration you should take into account. Analyzer will give you additional information about each program to make the right decision. You can also download results to a pdf and even send them to others if you like.
- Proceed to check availability with respective airlines. Do not transfer any miles until you confirm the desired option is available on the airline’s website. Note the transfer time and hold the reservation if possible before transferring any miles.
- Remember all transfers are final as you would not be able to send the points back to your credit card. If your trip is cancelled your miles will go back to the respective airline account.
- Transferring points to airline's frequent flyer programs is not the only way to obtain the award ticket. You can also redeem the points through your credit card directly by using the Book Travel option. You can find out more by checking out our Credit card reward tab on Wikimiles home page.
- WikiMiles Crew is always here to answer any questions. For an additional fee we can also assist you with the bookings. Use the Contact us section to reach out to us.
