Decision considerations
The collected historical records include a standard 75,000-mile offer, estimated at $750, a 75k plus $250 Travel-credit promotion observed in 2026/1 and a return to the standard offer recorded in 2026/4. In 2026/9, the records describe an issuer limited-time offer retaining the $4,000 spending requirement, with 75k miles plus a one-time $300 Capital One Travel hotel and vacation-rental booking credit. The credit is valid within 1 year of opening and purchases covered by it do not earn miles. Assuming 75,000 miles are used for travel at 1 cent per mile and the full $300 lodging credit is used, the combined estimated travel value is $1,050, not a cash deposit. This is in the higher-reward range of the collected records.

Card features and benefits
- 2X Miles on Every PurchaseEarn 2 miles per dollar on eligible general purchases, with no earning cap and no expiration while the account remains open. Rewards are based on net purchases after refunds and credits. Cash advances, balance transfers, checks used to access the account and cash-equivalent transactions earn no rewards. Minimum payments must be made on time, and the account must be open and in good standing at redemption.
- 5X on Hotels, Vacation Rentals & Rental Cars via Capital One TravelEarn 5 miles per dollar on hotels, vacation rentals and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel; not all travel spending qualifies for this rate. Eligible tickets bought directly through the Capital One Entertainment platform with an eligible card earn 5X, excluding direct Capital One Hall or Arena ticketing services. This is for personal, noncommercial use only. Rewards may be reversed for refunds or cancellations.
- Up to $120 Global Entry or TSA PreCheck® CreditPay the Global Entry or TSA PreCheck® application fee with this card for a credit of up to $120, once every 4 years per account. The next period begins on the date the credit posts. All users on the account share the benefit, and only the first eligible application fee is reimbursed. The credit usually posts within 2 billing cycles; the account must be open and in good standing when it posts. Refunds, cancellations or transaction changes may reverse the credit. CLEAR is excluded. Reimbursement does not guarantee application approval or faster clearance. Full eligibility is governed by the applicable account terms.
- Flexible Redemption & Transfer PartnersTransfer ratios vary by partner. For example, Air Canada, Flying Blue and Cathay use 1:1; EVA, Emirates and Japan Airlines use 2:1.5; and JetBlue uses 5:3. Not all transfers are 1:1. At least 1,000 Capital One miles are required and the names on both accounts must match. Completed transfers cannot be reversed and are subject to the receiving program terms. Transfers do not guarantee higher value or award availability.
- No Foreign Transaction FeesNo foreign transaction fee. Refer to the account terms for other fees and applicable restrictions.
Protections and partner benefits (using the commonly encountered Visa Signature version as an example)
- Capital One Lifestyle Collection HotelsBook selected Lifestyle hotels through the official travel portal for an experience credit of up to $50 per stay, plus room upgrades, early check-in/late checkout and complimentary Wi-Fi, subject to availability.
- Hertz Five Star® StatusEligible primary cardholders, authorized users and account managers age 21 or older must enroll in Hertz Five Star through the dedicated link in the Capital One account Benefits section. Ordinary Hertz enrollment does not automatically provide the upgrade. Participating locations may offer a one-class vehicle upgrade subject to availability; upgrades are not guaranteed. Rental eligibility is governed separately by Hertz terms. Membership is not rental-car insurance.
- Eligible Visa Signature Rental ProtectionThis summarizes only the public Capital One Visa Signature guide effective 2024-12-17. First identify the card network and account-specific guide from the card or statement. It cannot be applied to Mastercard or Discover, and individual amendments take precedence. Pay the full rental cost with the card and decline the rental company CDW/LDW. Rental limits are 15 days in your country of residence and 31 days outside it, not defined by the United States border. Coverage is primary abroad; in the country of residence, where other applicable insurance exists, it primarily covers its deductible and unreimbursed eligible expenses. Only specified vehicle theft/collision losses are covered, not liability or bodily injury. Israel, Jamaica, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland are excluded, with additional vehicle and claim restrictions.
- Eligible Visa Signature Travel ProtectionAvailable only to eligible accounts covered by the 2024-12-17 Visa Signature guide, not every Venture version. Paying the full eligible common-carrier fare, less redeemable vouchers, may qualify for up to $250,000 for specified accidental death or bodily-loss categories; this is not general medical insurance. Baggage coverage separately requires a 5–60-day trip and partial or full eligible fare payment, with secondary theft/misdirection reimbursement of up to $3,000 per trip and a $2,000 per-bag limit for New York residents. Cameras, phones and business items, among others, are excluded. This guide does not list trip cancellation/interruption or delay coverage. Other network versions require their own guides; neither the presence nor absence of coverage can be inferred from this one.
- Eligible Visa Signature Warranty & ConciergeThis summarizes only the 2024-12-17 Visa Signature guide. An eligible item with a valid United States manufacturer repair warranty of no more than 3 years may receive double the original duration, capped at 1 additional year. Limits are $10,000 per claim and $50,000 per cardholder, subject to the original purchase price and payment amount. Resale, professional or commercial use, rented items and software, among others, are excluded. Other card networks must not be assumed to offer the same warranty. Concierge services can help arrange bookings, but cardholders pay for goods, activities and services. Coverage and services depend on the applicable account guide and amendments.
