Capital One has introduced several promotional reward programs for its customers. Initially, the company launched elevated rewards for TripAdvisor, offering 40X miles per dollar spent through Capital One Offers or 40% back via Capital One Shopping, specifically for experiences and activities. These offers exclude hotels, flights, restaurants, vacation rentals, car rentals, cruises, theme park tickets, and purchases made through TripAdvisor Plus.

Subsequently, the company expanded its targeted promotions to include various retailers and airlines. Credit card users received offers for miles based on specific spending thresholds at merchants such as Sam’s Club, CVS, Home Depot, Lyft, Priceline, Staples, and Hotels.com. Additionally, Capital One Shopping issued targeted email promotions for Alaska Airlines flight reservations, providing specific cashback amounts for completed bookings.

More recently, Capital One Travel has introduced targeted flight discounts for specific cardholders. Eligible customers can receive 10% off select international flights with Alaska Airlines, capped at $75, or 10% off select flights to Hawaii, capped at $50, with these offers expiring February 10, 2027. Targeted cardholders may also receive $100 off select Aer Lingus flights through December 31, 2026. These discounts may be combined with existing Capital One Travel credits, such as the annual credit available for Venture X and Venture X Business cardholders.
