Capital One Travel Cards offer a range of valuable benefits when you book accommodations through Capital One Travel, particularly within their Premier and Lifestyle Collections. These collections are designed to enhance your travel experience with exclusive perks and credits, making your trips more rewarding. Understanding these benefits can significantly elevate your travel planning and maximize the value of your Capital One card.
Premier Collection: Elevate Your Hotel Stays and Vacation Rentals
For those seeking an elevated experience, the Premier Collection offers premium benefits for both hotels and vacation rentals booked through Capital One Travel.
Hotel Experience Credit and Benefits
When booking hotels within the Premier Collection, Capital One cardholders are entitled to a $100 USD hotel experience credit. This credit, or its local currency equivalent, is applied directly by the hotel at checkout towards qualifying charges. These charges can vary by property, so it’s advisable to confirm with the hotel directly what qualifies – often including dining, spa services, or other hotel amenities. Making advance reservations for experiences is recommended to ensure availability.
Beyond the experience credit, Premier Collection hotel bookings also include:
- Daily breakfast for two: Start your day right with complimentary breakfast.
- Complimentary Wi-Fi: Stay connected throughout your stay.
- Room upgrades (when available): Enjoy a potentially more spacious or better-located room.
- Early check-in and late checkout (when available): Gain more flexibility with your arrival and departure times.
These benefits are applied per room, per stay, adding substantial value to each booking. Remember to check the hotel’s terms and conditions, as minimum night stays may apply.
Vacation Rental Experience Credit and Benefits
The Premier Collection extends its benefits to vacation rentals as well. Cardholders booking Premier Collection vacation rentals through Capital One Travel receive a $100 USD vacation rental experience credit. This credit is applied at the time of booking by the host provider towards qualifying experiences. These experiences, much like with hotels, vary by location and are subject to availability. Contacting the host provider directly is crucial to understand the eligible options and making advance reservations is wise. In some cases, the experience credit may be provided as a gift card.
In addition to the experience credit, vacation rental bookings in the Premier Collection come with:
- Complimentary Wi-Fi: Stay connected in your home away from home.
- Early check-in and late checkout (when available): Enjoy more time at your vacation rental.
These benefits are applied per stay. Note that consecutive bookings at the same property within 24 hours are treated as a single reservation and won’t qualify for double benefits. Host provider terms and conditions also apply, and minimum night stays might be required.
Lifestyle Collection: Enhanced Perks for Hotels and Vacation Rentals
The Lifestyle Collection also provides appealing benefits for Capital One travel cardholders, offering a step up from standard bookings.
Hotel Experience Credit and Benefits
Lifestyle Collection hotel bookings through Capital One Travel include a $50 USD hotel experience credit. Similar to the Premier Collection, this credit is applied by the hotel at checkout to qualifying charges, which can be confirmed with the hotel directly.
Furthermore, Lifestyle Collection hotel bookings include:
- Complimentary Wi-Fi: Stay connected.
- Room upgrades (when available): Enhance your room experience.
- Early check-in and late checkout (when available): Enjoy more flexible timings.
These benefits are also applied per room, per stay, enhancing the value of your booking.
Vacation Rental Experience Credit and Benefits
For vacation rentals in the Lifestyle Collection, Capital One cardholders receive a $50 USD vacation rental experience credit. This credit is applied by the host provider at the time of booking towards qualifying experiences, which you should confirm with the host.
Lifestyle Collection vacation rental bookings also offer:
- Complimentary Wi-Fi: Stay connected during your rental.
- Early check-in and late checkout (when available): Enjoy a more relaxed rental experience.
These benefits are applied per stay, with the same rule applying to back-to-back bookings within 24 hours as with the Premier Collection.
Important Terms to Note
Regardless of whether you choose the Premier or Lifestyle Collection, or whether you are booking hotels or vacation rentals, keep these general terms in mind:
- Booking Method: Bookings must be made through Capital One Travel in the eligible cardholder’s name, and the cardholder must be part of the traveling party to qualify for benefits.
- Benefit Redemption: Benefits cannot be exchanged for cash or combined with other offers unless specifically stated.
- Changes and Disqualification: Participating properties, benefits, and offer terms are subject to change. Capital One reserves the right to disqualify any cardholder from participation at their discretion.
- Terms of Service: Additional terms and conditions apply. For complete details, refer to travel.capitalone.com/terms-of-service.
By leveraging your Capital One travel card and booking through Capital One Travel, you can access these valuable benefits within the Premier and Lifestyle Collections, enriching your travel experiences and making your journeys more rewarding.
