Good news: That tier is 1:1 transfers and it applies to some of their best partnersĪnd so while I’m not thrilled that the transfer program got more complicated, it is hard to complain about effectively earning 2 airline miles per dollar spent in the following 1:1 transfer partner programs (note: these will be available for 1:1 transfers beginning on April 20th except for Choice Privileges, which debuts later this year): Capital One 1:1 transfer partners (begins 4/20 for all but Choice Privileges).

Bad news: Capital One is complicating things further by adding another transfer tier.

If you have felt the same way about that, let’s play the bad news / good news game: My main gripe with Capital One’s transfer program has been the confusing nature of transfer ratios some partners have transferred 2:1.5 (which is actually shown on the site as 1,000:750) and others have transferred 2:1 (1,000:500).

Capital One adding awesome 1:1 transfer tier TAP Air Portugal Miles & Go and Choice Privileges will both be 1:1 transfer partners (more more useful programs in that tier below). Turkish Miles & Smiles and British Airways Avios will be in the 2:1.5 transfer tier, meaning that the Venture or Spark Miles cards effectively earn 1.5 airline miles in those programs on all purchases. Choice Privileges (note: this partnership will go live later this year, not on April 20).British Airways Avios (see Avios Sweet Spots for Award Travel).Turkish Miles & Smiles (see our Complete Guide to Turkish Miles & Smiles here).Starting April 20, 2021, Capital One is adding several new transfer partners for those looking to turn Capital One “miles” into airline rewards: Capital One adding airport lounges: Could an ultra-premium card be coming?.Reminder: Big bonus currently available on Venture.How does Capital One stack up against competitors?.

New full Capital One airline transfer partner list.Capital One 1:1 transfer partners (begins 4/20 for all but Choice Privileges).Capital One adding awesome 1:1 transfer tier.Capital One adding new transfer partners.These moves won’t necessarily put Capital One miles ahead of Ultimate Rewards or Membership Rewards, but key differentiators sure make the Capital One Venture and Capital One Spark Miles credit cards a lot more interesting and the easy best choice for a single credit card solution. The main issue for many readers has long been getting approved for Capital One cards, but we’ve even seen good news on that front with Greg’s recent approval for a Venture card. If you weren’t previously convinced that Capital One was serious about being a player in the credit card rewards market, today’s moves should remove any doubt. They have also announced some potential enhancements to their travel portal. If Capital One turned it up a notch a couple of years ago when they debuted transfer partners and then bumped it up a smidge more with periodic transfer bonuses and partner additions, today they may have broken the dial: Capital One is adding partners like Turkish Miles & Smiles and British Airways Executive Club and adding a new 1:1 transfer tier for some valuable transfer programs including Wyndham Rewards, Avianca LifeMiles and more and they have released new details about the Capital One airport lounges opening later this year at Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) and next year at Washington Dulles (IAD). Capital One just made their rewards a lot more exciting. And I probably wouldn’t have had my Capital One card all these years if not for them. Today, they might be getting the last laugh because I have to admit, much to their glee if they happen to read this post, that I have never been so excited about my Capital One rewards as I am this morning.

I protested they held firm (they eventually opened a department store credit card, but don’t get me started on that). After all these years, it turns out mom and dad were right all along.ĭespite my advice, my parents have long insisted that they only needed a single Capital One credit card that earns 2 Capital One “Miles” per dollar spent.
