There are great ways to earn Capital One miles and redeem them for award flights and amazing stays by transferring them to airlines and hotels!
In this post, we show you Capital One’s airline and hotel transfer partners, how to transfer Capital One miles to these partners, and much more.
Earning Capital One Miles
Capital One has cards that earn Capital One miles and cards that earn cash rewards. At Upgraded Points, we love to travel and focus on earning miles, so Capital One Miles credit cards are fantastic options in our minds.
Once you have some Capital One miles and are ready to transfer them to a partner to book your next big vacation, here are the simple steps to make the transfer process easy:
Step 2: Click Transfer Miles on the right side of your screen. Type in your Frequent Flyer Number.
Step 3: Type in the Number of Miles to Transfer. Click Complete Transfer.
Step 4: Receive the confirmation. You can download the confirmation code for your records.
Bottom Line: Transferring Capital One miles to travel partners is super easy, just follow the steps online, and you’ll be ready to book luxury travel before you know it!
Other Ways To Use Your Miles
Other Capital One options like redeeming miles for cash statement credits or gift cards are not as good a value as travel. You’ll only get 0.5 cents per mile, or even less for merchandise.
When your eligible card is linked to PayPal, you can checkout with PayPal and redeem your miles at a rate of 125 miles to $1. We’d recommend this only if you can’t use your miles for travel or as a statement credit.
Combining Capital One Miles From Different Accounts
Combining Capital One miles from your different Capital One accounts is a simple process. The key is you need to have a miles-earning Capital One card like Capital One Venture X card, Capital One Venture card, or Capital One Spark Miles for Business.
Capital One has made a big splash joining the ranks of transferable miles credit cards. If you are new to Capital One or already have a stash of Capital One miles, you now have many more options to travel the world in style.

Do not use Capital One yet. My miles/points and those of all Capital One clients are frozen. Its been almost two weeks! Capital One will not even release a proper statement as to what the problem is. Google “Capital One cannot transfer points.” Its scandalous.

Why isn’t Wyndham listed on Capital One’s website as a transfer partner any more?
Hi Morgan,
I am still seeing Wyndham as a transfer partner when I log into my account. Where are you seeing that Wyndham isn’t listed as a transfer partner?

Hi Sam,
Currently those airlines are not transfer partners of Capital One. You may be able to book some flights with them via the Capital One Travel Portal.
