Capital One is partnered with various airlines, allowing cardholders to transfer their earned miles to these airline loyalty programs. This provides flexibility for redeeming rewards for flights.
Capital One Airline Transfer Partners
Capital One offers the ability to transfer points from eligible cards, such as the Capital One Venture or Spark Miles cards, directly to a selection of airline frequent flyer programs. This process converts your Capital One miles into the airline's specific loyalty currency, which can then be used to book award flights.
The following airlines are among Capital One's direct transfer partners, along with their respective transfer ratios:
| Airline Loyalty Program | Transfer Ratio (Capital One Miles:Airline Miles) |
|---|---|
| Emirates Skywards | 1:1 |
| Etihad Guest | 1:1 |
| EVA Air Infinity MileageLands | 2:1.5 |
| Finnair Plus | 1:1 |
Understanding Mile Transfers
Transferring miles to an airline partner can be a strategic way to maximize the value of your Capital One rewards. While booking travel through Capital One's own travel portal is an option, transferring miles directly to an airline's loyalty program often provides access to different award availability and potentially better redemption rates for premium cabins or specific routes.
For instance, 1,000 Capital One miles transferred to Emirates Skywards would become 1,000 Skywards miles. However, 1,000 Capital One miles transferred to EVA Air Infinity MileageLands would result in 750 Infinity MileageLands miles due to the 2:1.5 ratio. This flexibility allows travelers to align their rewards with their preferred airlines and travel goals.
