Transfer bonus live now
20% to British Airways Club (standard 1:1 improves to 1,000 miles : 1,200 Avios) — ends 2026-10-31.
To British Airways Club. Recorded 2026-10-02; reported by multiple independent outlets, not issuer-verified (the bonus's official page sits behind a member login) — confirm the terms with the program running the bonus before transferring.
At 1:1.2 the floor math lands modestly above break-even: 1,200 Avios at the 1.1¢ floor are $13.20, versus $12.50 for the 1,000 Capital One miles given up at their 1.25¢ floor. Avios are reported to move freely between British Airways, Iberia, Finnair and Qatar Airways accounts, so the bonus effectively reaches those programs too. Transfer only against a specific priced award — transfers are one-way and final.
30% to Virgin Red (standard 1:1 improves to 1,000 miles : 1,300 Virgin points) — ends 2026-11-20.
To Virgin Red. Recorded 2026-10-22; reported by multiple independent outlets, not issuer-verified (the bonus's official page sits behind a member login) — confirm the terms with the program running the bonus before transferring.
Capital One lists Virgin Red — not Virgin Atlantic — as its partner, and the bonus is awarded on transfers into Virgin Red. Trackers headline it as a Virgin Atlantic Flying Club bonus because Virgin points are reported to become usable in Flying Club when the two Virgin accounts are linked; that onward route is reported, not issuer-verified. No independent floor valuation exists for Virgin Red points, so no dollar comparison is shown here (the Virgin Atlantic valuation is a different program and is not borrowed). Transfer only against a specific priced award — transfers are one-way and final.
- A transfer bonus is never a reason to move points speculatively: transfers are one-way and final. Move points only against a specific award you are booking now, priced at or above the currency's floor value.

- Capital One publishes no transfer-processing times, so the reported times are community measurements from the two independent trackers that publish per-partner tables (Frequent Miler and Upgraded Points), checked Aug 21, 2026. Where the trackers disagree, the table says so instead of picking a side. A reported time is not a guarantee — never rely on a fast transfer for a same-day award booking.
Common questions
Which cards can transfer Capital One points to partners?
Capital One Venture X. Capital One’s own guide also names the Venture and VentureOne families.
What is the minimum Capital One transfer?
1,000 points, moved in 1,000-point increments. See the fine print below for partner-specific exceptions.
Can I reverse a Capital One transfer?
No. Transfers to travel partners are one-way and final — once points land in the partner program they cannot come back. Transfer only against a specific award you are booking now.
How many transfer partners does Capital One Miles have?
22 (18 airlines, 4 hotels) as of 2026-08-21, mostly at 1:1. The full table above lists every partner with its exact ratio.
How long do Capital One transfers take?
Capital One publishes no processing times, so the only data is community-measured (two independent trackers, checked Aug 21, 2026). 7 of 22 partners are reported instant by both trackers; the slowest reports are Cathay Pacific Asia Miles (up to 2 days) and JetBlue TrueBlue (1–2 hrs vs 2–5 days — the trackers conflict). Treat every time as reported, not guaranteed — never rely on a fast transfer for a same-day booking.
Fine print that changes the math
- Minimum 1,000 miles. Once finalized, “there’s no way to transfer miles back into your Capital One rewards account” (Capital One).
- Capital One’s own guide names the Venture and VentureOne families as transfer-eligible but omits the personal Venture X; independent reporting treats Venture X as eligible (likely an editorial gap on the issuer page).
Where these facts come from
Roster and every ratio are primary-sourced from Capital One’s public transfer-partners page — the only one of the four issuers that publishes its full ratio table — and cross-checked against three independent guides. Roster source: capitalone.com, verified 2026-08-21. Card terms change constantly — confirm with the issuer before acting. How we verify facts.
Before you transfer
We value Capital One points at a 1.25¢ floor — $12.50 per 1,000 points — so a transfer only makes sense against a specific award that beats that in dollars.
