  • Prioritize Capital One Travel. By using Capital One Travel for your purchases, you can receive 5 miles per dollar spent. This is roughly the equivalent of $0.05.
  • Take advantage of the new cardmember offer. A first-year value is to spend enough money using this card to qualify for the 20,000 free bonus miles. Be sure to pay off your balance in full each month to avoid interest charges.
  • Use the 0% introductory APR. Part of this card’s ongoing value is its 0% APR for the first 15 months of opening an account. During this time, it might be worth transferring the balance from a high-interest credit card to this one. Make sure you can pay off the balance before the introductory period ends.
  • Continue paying off your balance. By paying off your balance before interest accrues, you can avoid high interest charges and still earn points toward travel.
