The Capital One Venture miles are worth 1 cent each when you redeem them for travel expenses. The miles can also be redeemed for a check, statement credit, gift cards, and more, but at a lower value.
How much Capital One Venture Miles Are Worth:
| Travel | 1 cent |
| Gift Cards | 0.8 cents |
| Check / Statement Credit | 0.5 cents |
