Rewards for Purchases

The Capital One credit card earns miles based on the annual purchases made with the card. On some offers, balance transfer amounts also earn mile rewards.

Rewards are not earned for:

Purchase checks
Purchase credits
Travelers' check purchases
Cash advances
Access checks
Transfers from another Capital One account
Fees and charges paid

Redemption Plan

The number of miles you need to purchase a ticket is based on the price of the ticket:

15,000 miles needed for tickets priced up to $150
35,000 miles needed for tickets priced between $150 and $350
60,000 miles needed for tickets priced between $350 and $600

For tickets priced over $600, the number of miles required is equal to 100 times the price of the ticket. For example, a $1,000 ticket would require 100,000 miles to be redeemed.

Redeeming Rewards

It is easy and quick to redeem your rewards. As soon as the rewards have posted to your credit card account the rewards can be redeemed. You can redeem all, or part of your rewards.

Redeem for a Ticket

There are two ways to obtain a ticket. You can:
