WHICH CAPITAL ONE CARDS ARE BEST FOR EARNING MILES?

Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card – My favorite if “extras” are your thing… great airport lounge access, $100 credit for TSA Precheck or Global entry, $300 travel credit for Capital One travel portal & more
Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card – Less benefits but still earns 2x points on each purchase
Capital One Venture X Business – Amazing sign up bonus if you have large spend, all the benefits of the Venture X personal card

Capital One Venture cards are really straight forward. You earn 2x miles for every dollar on every purchase.

SHARING & COMBINING MILES:
You CAN transfer your Capital One miles to anyone, as long as they have a card that also earns Capital One miles. You’ll just call the number on the back of your card to make the request.
If you have 2 Capital One cards that earn miles, you can combine those miles by clicking the “Move Rewards” box in the “How would you like to use your miles” screen.

TRANSFERRING YOUR POINTS TO A TRANSFER PARTNER

Then find the “Convert rewards” box….

Find the partner you want to transfer points to and follow instructions.

TIPS FOR TRANSFERRING POINTS

Let’s say you want to transfer points to Emirates. You must FIRST have an Emirates account set up. So head to Emirates website and create an account. Make sure your name on your Emirates account matches the name on your credit card EXACTLY (no nicknames, abbreviations, etc)
It is very tempting to do a “test” transfer, however it is no recommended because when you go to do the real transfer a few minutes later, it can get flagged as fraud because the system sees transfers within a short time frame.
I STRONGLY recommend you do NOT transfer points until you’ve found the EXACT redemption you want and are 100% ready to book. Award flight availability are changing all the time – an award flight you found this morning may be gone tonight.
