Capital One credit cards are not just for everyday spending; they can also be your passport to elevated travel experiences. For cardholders who book accommodations through Capital One Travel, the Premier and Lifestyle Collections offer a suite of valuable benefits designed to enhance every trip. Let’s explore how you can leverage your Capital One credit card to unlock these exclusive travel perks.
Elevating Your Hotel Stays with Premier & Lifestyle Collections
Booking hotels through the Premier Collection or Lifestyle Collection with your Capital One credit card opens the door to a range of on-site benefits. One of the most enticing is the hotel experience credit. For Premier Collection hotels, you’ll receive a $100 USD experience credit, while Lifestyle Collection hotels offer a $50 USD credit. This credit, applied directly by the hotel at checkout, can be used towards qualifying charges, allowing you to indulge in hotel amenities like dining, spa services, or other experiences. It’s wise to contact your hotel directly before your stay to understand what qualifies for this credit and to make any necessary advance reservations for experiences.
Beyond the experience credit, both collections provide additional perks to enhance your hotel stay. For Premier Collection bookings, you can start your day right with complimentary daily breakfast for two. Both Premier and Lifestyle Collection bookings include complimentary Wi-Fi to keep you connected and, depending on availability, the possibility of room upgrades, early check-in, and late check-out, adding extra comfort and flexibility to your travel schedule. These benefits are applied per room, per stay, making each booking more rewarding. Keep in mind that hotel terms and conditions apply, and some hotels may require a minimum night stay for eligibility.
Vacation Rentals: Experience Credits and Comforts Away From Home
The benefits extend beyond hotels to vacation rentals booked through the Premier and Lifestyle Collections. Similar to hotels, you can enjoy an experience credit when booking vacation rentals. Premier Collection vacation rentals come with a $100 USD experience credit, applied at the time of booking by the host provider, while Lifestyle Collection rentals also offer valuable benefits. This credit can be used towards qualifying experiences offered by the host, which can vary by location, so checking with the host provider beforehand is recommended. In some cases, the experience credit might be provided as a gift card for even greater flexibility.
Alongside the experience credit, Capital One cardholders booking vacation rentals through these collections also benefit from complimentary Wi-Fi and the possibility of early check-in and late check-out, when available. These benefits are applied per stay, ensuring a more comfortable and convenient vacation rental experience. It’s important to note that back-to-back bookings at the same property within a 24-hour period are considered a single reservation and won’t qualify for double benefits. Always review the host provider’s terms and conditions, as minimum night stays may also apply to vacation rentals.
Booking and Important Details to Remember
To take advantage of these Premier and Lifestyle Collection benefits, bookings must be made through Capital One Travel and must be in the eligible cardholder’s name, with the cardholder being part of the traveling party. These benefits cannot be exchanged for cash or combined with other offers unless explicitly stated. The participating properties and the benefits offered are subject to change, so it’s always a good idea to check the latest details when booking. Capital One reserves the right to disqualify any cardholder from participation at their discretion. For complete details and terms of service, you can visit travel.capitalone.com/terms-of-service.
