Capital One is pairing with Michelin-starred chefs in four cities to deliver dinner for two along with cocktails, a virtual happy hour reception with the chef and a musician, along with a musical playlist they’ve chosen to accompany the menu. Hurry, spots are limited.
Capital One and Amazon are offering a first-use promotion of $20 off $80 for Capital One cardmembers who have never used their miles or cash back to shop at Amazon.com.
Yesterday I covered news that Capital One will open a lounge at Washington Dulles airport. Details of that lounge – location, size, amenities, etc. – available.
In a new statement Capital One is offering a bit more information about access and timeframe for the lounge’s opening.
Already on their sixth transfer bonus of the year, having just launched transferable points, and Capital One has shared in the past that “limited-time offers like this will be another major perk for Venture and Spark Miles account holders to take advantage of.”
This month they’re back with a bonus on transfers to Air France KLM Flying Blue, a great program to pool points in, with reasonable redemption rates and good business class availability.
Capital One® Venture® Rewards Credit Card and Capital One® Spark® Miles for Business cardholders gained the ability to transfer to airline frequent flyer miles late last year. Now they’re launching their 5th transfer bonus of the year: a one-third (33.3%) bonus on transfers to Qantas.
Qantas is useful for inexpensive short distance awards on oneworld airlines, and for redemptions on partners like El Al and Emirates – and they don’t charge miles or a fare for infant travel on awards.
Avianca LifeMiles is the only Star Alliance frequent flyer program with an award chart that doesn’t add surcharges to any awards when redeeming miles. I’ll show you how to get some awards for even fewer miles than the award chart promises, and other tricks of the program to make your redemptions go farther.
Capital One has just announced a 25% bonus on all miles transferred to Avianca LifeMiles in July.
Already on their fourth transfer bonus of the year, having just launched transferable points, and Capital One notes “limited-time offers like this will be another major perk for Venture and Spark Miles account holders to take advantage of.” So we can certainly expect to see more.
Here are 10 things you should know as you think about making the most of Capital One Venture’s transfer bonus to Air France KLM Flying Blue, from awards that are surprisingly inexpensive to things to watch out for redeeming your miles.
Capital One® Venture® Rewards Credit Card and Capital One® Spark® Miles for Business cardholders gained the ability to transfer to airline frequent flyer miles late last year.
At the time Capital One shared they’d be adding airline points transfer partners. And when they ran an Emirates miles transfer bonus in March they shared that there would be more transfer bonuses to come. They added JetBlue as a transfer partner, and highlighted it with a transfer bonus in May.
The biggest end of year miles and points news was definitely that Capital One has introduced the ability to transfer their miles to a variety of different airlines.
I’m excited to see that Capital One is running a bonus to transfer their miles to an airline at a better than standard rate. It suggests to me that transfer bonuses are on their radar, so I can’t wait to see whether another transfer bonus comes along soon.
