A Closer Look at the New Partners

✈️ Japan Airlines Mileage Bank

• Transfer ratio: 2:1.5 (1,000 Capital One miles = 750 JAL miles)

• Intro bonus: 30% transfer bonus available during the first month

• Alliance: Oneworld

• Highlights:

  • Excellent redemption value for flights between North America and Asia

  • Great stopover rules for multi-city trips

  • Partners include Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Emirates, and more

• Good to know: New members can now book award flights after just 7 days (instead of the usual 60-day wait).

💡 Tip: If you’re eyeing JAL awards, open a Mileage Bank account early so you’re ready to transfer and book.

✈️ Qatar Airways Privilege Club (Avios)

• Transfer ratio: 1:1

• Alliance: Oneworld

• Avios partners: British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Finnair, and more

• Highlights:

  • Direct access to Qatar’s luxurious Qsuites business class

  • Flexibility to move Avios between partner programs

  • Already available via other currencies like Amex and Citi

💡 While Capital One already had access to Qatar awards via British Airways Avios, this direct transfer streamlines the process.

🏨 I Prefer Hotel Rewards

• Transfer ratio: 1:2 (1,000 Capital One miles = 2,000 I Prefer points)

• Program: Loyalty rewards for Preferred Hotels & Resorts and other luxury hotel brands

• Award nights: Start at 15,000 points

💡 Caution: The value here is relatively low. Citi, for instance, offers a better 1:4 transfer ratio. Unless you have a specific I Prefer property in mind, other hotel programs may offer better value.

Why This Matters: More Flexibility, More Value

With the addition of these new partners, Capital One continues to build one of the most flexible and valuable travel rewards ecosystems.

For example, with the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card, you can now tap into:

• A strong lineup of 22 transfer partners

• A $300 annual travel credit through Capital One Travel

• 10,000 bonus miles every year on your anniversary

• Access to Capital One Lounges

• And a large welcome bonus

Despite its $395 annual fee, the card delivers significant travel perks and now even more options to redeem miles at high value.

Bottom Line

The addition of Japan Airlines, Qatar Airways, and I Prefer Hotels makes Capital One’s travel program even stronger. Whether you’re booking an award flight to Tokyo or planning a luxury hotel stay, these new partners increase the flexibility and reach of your miles.
