By How it works
Each account year, the primary cardholder gets $300 to use on purchases made through Capital One Travel, such as flights, hotels, rental cars and vacation rentals.
You apply it at checkout, like a discount. You can use it all on one booking or split it over several.
It expires on your next account open date anniversary and doesn't roll over. The part it covers earns no miles.
What it looks like when it works
- At checkout in Capital One Travel, the credit taken off the booking total.
- Your card is charged only for the rest, or not at all if the credit covers the whole booking. No separate credit line posts on your statement.
How long it takes
Right away at checkout. Capital One doesn't add it to your statement later.
Why it didn’t post
The credit only works on purchases made through Capital One Travel. Bookings made directly with an airline, hotel, rental car company or another travel site don't get it.
The credit is used at checkout in Capital One Travel, not afterward. If you skipped it, it's still there for your next Capital One Travel booking before it expires.
Each year's $300 expires on your next account open date anniversary. Unused credit doesn't carry over, and the new year's $300 replaces it.
Check your remaining balance in Capital One Travel. A partly used credit only covers what's left.
Capital One gives the credit to the primary account holder. Book while signed in as the primary cardholder.
If you cancel a booking that used the credit, Capital One restores it only if it hasn't expired yet.
The account must be open and in good standing to get or use the credit. Bring a past-due account current.
What doesn’t count
- Travel booked directly with airlines, hotels or rental car companies
- Travel booked on any site other than Capital One Travel
- Train, bus and transit tickets Capital One Travel doesn't sell
Still missing? Do this

Questions people ask
Why didn't a credit post on my statement after I booked?
Since late 2023 the credit works at checkout in Capital One Travel instead of as a statement credit, so there's nothing to post later.
What happens if I cancel a booking that used the credit?
Capital One restores the credit, as long as it hasn't expired.
Does the credit reset on January 1?
No. It follows your account year and expires on your account open date anniversary.
Do I earn miles on a booking that used the credit?
Not on the part the credit covers. The rest earns miles as usual.
Check a whole statement at once. Premium Finance, our free app, reads the statement PDF or CSV you download from your bank (on your phone, nothing is uploaded) and shows which credits posted, then reminds you before the rest run out. Open the app or try it with a sample wallet.
