Traveling with Capital One Just Got More Rewarding

With more than half of Americans expected to travel this summer, Capital One is excited to announce that we're adding even more travel benefits to ensure cardholders get the most out of their summer travel experiences — making it a no-brainer to travel this summer with one of our best-in-class rewards credit cards.

That’s why we’re expanding access to Capital One Travel so that all Capital One rewards cardholders can benefit from our smarter travel booking experience — allowing even more of our customers to enjoy flexibility and features not found anywhere else in the credit card industry.

Capital One Travel is Expanding To All Rewards Cardholders 

In addition to being able to take advantage of Capital One Travel, Savor, Quicksilver, Spark Cash, Spark Classic, and student product suites will now earn unlimited 5% cash back on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel. These cash rewards cardholders can also redeem rewards at a 1-to-1 ratio — $1 in cash rewards is worth $1 towards a travel booking.

Venture X cardholders will continue to earn unlimited 10X miles on hotels and rental cars and 5X miles on flights booked through Capital One Travel. Similarly, Venture, VentureOne, Spark Miles and Spark Miles Select cardholders will continue to earn unlimited 5X miles on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel.

And, through Capital One Travel cardholders can take advantage of smarter travel booking features, including:

• Price Prediction and Price Watches: Capital One Travel analyzes billions of data points on real flight prices and trends, leveraging AI-powered dynamic pricing to predict flight prices and recommend the best time to book, which can help save customers an average of 15% per flight. Customers also can sign up to receive price alerts for flights they're interested in and Capital One Travel will monitor prices 24/7 and notify the customer when prices drop.
• Price Drop Protection: We give free price drop protection to customers who set a price alert and purchase flights when we recommend. We keep watching the price for a period of time after booking, and if the price drops, we'll help cover the difference (currently up to $50).
• Price Match Guarantee: Capital One Travel offers our best prices on thousands of flights, hotels and rental cars, all backed by a price match guarantee. That means that if a customer finds a better price for the same flight, hotel, or rental car on another site within 24 hours of booking, Capital One Travel will refund the difference.
• Lowest Hotel Prices: Capital One Travel compares hotel rates against Expedia, Booking.com, and other travel booking sites and proactively adjusts their prices to beat or match competitors, ensuring that customers are getting our best available price. 
• Cancel Your Flight For Any Reason: Ongoing unpredictability in the travel space has underscored the need for customers to be able to change or cancel their plans at a moment's notice. With this new feature, for a small fee paid at the time of booking, customers can add the option to cancel flights booked on Capital One Travel—for any reason—up to 24 hours before their first scheduled departure and receive 70-90% of their ticket cost back. The specific refund amount will be listed at the time of purchase and may vary by flight. Canceling only takes a few clicks, with no penalties and no questions asked.
• Freeze a Flight Price: If a customer finds a great flight price on Capital One Travel, but isn’t quite ready to book, they may have the option to freeze the price for a set period of time by paying a small fee, so they can book it at a more convenient time. If the price of the flight increases after a customer freezes it and before the frozen price expires, Capital One Travel will cover any increase up to a maximum refund limit. If the price of the flight goes down, the customer pays the lower price. 

Capital One Travel is integrated into the Capital One rewards ecosystem, allowing customers to both earn and redeem rewards through the booking platform, while also leveraging Capital One’s industry-leading mobile app and digital messaging capabilities. 

It is one of several areas in which Capital One has elevated travel support to help customers get the most out of their experiences. Last fall, Capital One introduced Venture X and opened its first Capital One airport lounge at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).

Start Your Vacation Before You Arrive

At the airport, we know cardholders are looking for a respite from crowds, which is why Capital One is announcing a new, expanded Partner Lounge Network that will offer eligible cardholders access to an additional 100+ lounges worldwide, including all domestic Virgin Atlantic Clubhouses, and other leading lounges from Air France, Avianca, and more. Access to our growing Partner Lounge Network is based on card product:

Venture X cardholders will now receive unlimited complimentary access to 100+ Plaza Premium Lounges worldwide, in addition to current lounge offerings (complimentary access to participating Priority Pass Lounges worldwide and Capital One Lounges).

Venture and Spark Miles cardholders can now use their two annual complimentary lounge visits to any of the 100+ Plaza Premium Lounges worldwide or Capital One Lounges, a unique benefit for a $95 AMF travel rewards card.
