In mid November Capital One announced that miles would be transferable to 12 airline loyalty programs sometime in December at a rate of 2 Capital One miles to 1.5 airline miles. These transfers are now possible. They have added an additional two transfer partners (Emirates & Singapore), unfortunately these two transfer partners transfer at a rate of 2 Capital One miles to 1 airline mile. The full list of transfer partners is below (2:1.5 unless otherwise stated)
- Aeromexico
- Aeroplan (Air Canada)
- Alitalia
- Avianca
- Cathay Pacific
- Emirates (2:1 rate)
- Etihad Airways
- EVA Air, Finnair
- Flying Blue (Air France and KLM)
- Hainan Airlines
- Qantas
- Qatar Airways
- Singapore (2:1 rate)
Keep in mind Capital One is currently also offering an increased bonus of 75,000 miles on the Capital One Venture card and up to 200,000 miles on the Capital One Business Spark Miles card. I’m not a massive fan of having different transfer partners at different transfer levels, but I guess it’s better to at least have more options than less even if the transfer rates aren’t as good.
