However, if you book paid travel through the Capital One travel portal with your Capital One card that earns transferable miles, you can earn as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Venture X and Venture X Business<\/strong>: 10 miles per dollar on hotels and rental cars and 5 miles per dollar on flights booked through Capital One Travel<\/li>\n<li><strong>Venture, VentureOne, VentureOne for Good Credit, Spark Miles and Spark Miles Select<\/strong>: 5 miles per dollar on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As such, I recommend booking paid rates instead of redeeming Capital One miles when you book travel through the Capital One travel portal. Even if you want to redeem miles for your flight, hotel or car rental booking, you&#8217;ll often be better off using miles to cover recent travel purchases instead of redeeming when booking through the travel portal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/transfer-or-not-capital-one-miles\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Should you transfer Capital One miles to partners or redeem directly for travel?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-1853040249 tpg-figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-top:0\" class=\"jsx-36530878 full-width-auto-height-image\"><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;display:block;overflow:hidden;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative\"><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;padding-top:66.6875%\"\/><img alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%\"\/><noscript><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%\" sizes=\"100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2024\/02\/Person-making-online-payment-with-credit-card-and-smart-phone-at-outdoor-cafe_-PixelsEffect.jpg?width=640 640w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2024\/02\/Person-making-online-payment-with-credit-card-and-smart-phone-at-outdoor-cafe_-PixelsEffect.jpg?width=750 750w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2024\/02\/Person-making-online-payment-with-credit-card-and-smart-phone-at-outdoor-cafe_-PixelsEffect.jpg?width=828 828w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2024\/02\/Person-making-online-payment-with-credit-card-and-smart-phone-at-outdoor-cafe_-PixelsEffect.jpg?width=1080 1080w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2024\/02\/Person-making-online-payment-with-credit-card-and-smart-phone-at-outdoor-cafe_-PixelsEffect.jpg?width=1200 1200w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2024\/02\/Person-making-online-payment-with-credit-card-and-smart-phone-at-outdoor-cafe_-PixelsEffect.jpg?width=1920 1920w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2024\/02\/Person-making-online-payment-with-credit-card-and-smart-phone-at-outdoor-cafe_-PixelsEffect.jpg?width=2048 2048w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2024\/02\/Person-making-online-payment-with-credit-card-and-smart-phone-at-outdoor-cafe_-PixelsEffect.jpg?width=3840 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2024\/02\/Person-making-online-payment-with-credit-card-and-smart-phone-at-outdoor-cafe_-PixelsEffect.jpg?width=3840\"\/><\/noscript><\/span><\/div><figcaption class=\"jsx-1853040249 figcaption\">PIXELSEFFECT\/GETTY IMAGES<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Cover travel purchases<\/h3>\n<p>You can redeem Capital One miles to cover recent travel purchases made with your card.

But here&#8217;s an overview of your other redemption options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Redeem for experiences<\/strong>: You can redeem miles for sports and concert tickets through Capital One Entertainment, usually at a redemption rate of 0.8 cents per mile.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get gift cards<\/strong>: You can redeem miles for gift cards, usually at a redemption rate of 0.8 to 1.067 cents per mile.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Redeem for cash<\/strong>: You can request a statement credit or a check to your address at a redemption rate of 1 cent per mile.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Redeem with PayPal<\/strong>: You can apply miles when checking out with PayPal at a redemption rate of 0.8 cents per mile.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shop with Amazon<\/strong>: You can apply miles at checkout for your Amazon.com orders at a redemption rate of 0.8 cents per mile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you can see, there are many ways to redeem Capital One miles for at least 1 cent each.
