Capital One Miles Are More Valuable Than Ever

Capital One just added 3 new transfer partners — Japan Airlines, Qatar Privilege Club, and Preferred Hotels & Resorts.

Hosts Katie Corrigan Seemann and Chris Hassan discuss the benefits of each of these new partners and how Capital One might be the new favorite for a straightforward, user-friendly points program.

Additionally, Chris shares his excellent redemption at the Westin São Paulo in Brazil, and Katie has some travel updates, including an excellent use of the prepaid hotel credit on the Platinum Card® from American Express and another booking she made through the Atmos Rewards program.
