Capital One Miles Value
Travel Purchases: 1 cent per mile.
Redeeming your miles for travel is easy and you have two options: You can use your miles to erase past travel-related purchases, or to book upcoming trips. To redeem your miles for recent travel purchases, log on to your Capital One account and click on the “Rewards Miles” section of your account summary. Select “Cover Your Purchases,” and all of your travel expenses from the last 90 days will appear. Then select whichever ones you want to redeem miles for.
To book travel using your miles, select the “Book a Trip” option, and it’ll take you to Capital One’s travel portal where you can book flights, hotels, and vacation packages directly, using your miles.
Gift cards: 0.8 cent per mile.
You can get gift cards from most major retailers. Denominations vary by store.
Cash back: 0.5 cent per mile.
You can redeem your Capital One miles in the form of a statement credit or a check.
So, keep in mind that using your miles for gift cards or as a statement credit to cover non-travel purchases diminishes the value of your mile; each mile being worth half a cent when redeemed for gift cards or non-travel credits. When it comes to Capital One credit cards with miles, you’ll get the most value when redeeming your miles for travel.
