Deep dives
Maximizing Capital One Miles
Capital One miles can provide significantly better value when transferred to airline partners instead of using them for the company's purchase eraser feature. For example, transferring miles to Virgin Atlantic for a Delta flight can reduce the cost from 22,200 Capital One miles using the eraser to just 11,560 miles, plus a small cash tax. Similarly, transferring to Air Canada Aeroplan can provide a United flight for only 10,000 miles and $33.49 instead of 19,900 miles. Understanding the available transfer options and their associated values can greatly enhance the earning potential of Capital One miles.
