Note that Capital One has made several more changes to its list of transfer partners since this news post from October 2021. Capital One miles currently transfer to 19 transfer partners (including 16 airlines and three hotel programs). For the latest, see our full guide to Capital One transfer partners.
Great news, Capital One cardholders: you can now transfer miles to six more airline mileage programs at a 1:1 ratio. Unlike what we saw earlier this year, these are not new transfer partners but improved ratios for existing partners. This change is a big improvement in redemption options that make Capital One miles even more valuable going forward.
Capital One Improves Transfer Ratios
Capital One is improving its miles transfer ratios on six programs. In April 2021, Capital One improved transfer ratios for seven of its transfer partners. Now, Capital One is improving the transfer ratios on six more programs. The newly-improved transfer partners are:
- Air Canada Aeroplan
- Air France / KLM Flying Blue
- British Airways Executive Club
- Emirates Skywards
- Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer
- Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles
For four of these airline programs, you could previously transfer points at a 2:1.5 ratio. The transfer ratio was even worse for Emirates Skywards and Singapore KrisFlyer at 2:1. Now, you can transfer points to all six airlines at a 1:1 ratio.

What Doesn't Transfer 1:1 with Capital One Miles Now?
With these improvements, most Capital One transfers are at 1:1 ratios. This puts Capital One on par with other points & miles currencies. This leaves two — at least of those partners remaining beyond October 24, 2021 — transfers at sub-par ratios:
- EVA Infinity MileageLands (2:1.5)
- Accor Live Limitless (2:1)

Updated Capital One Airline Transfer Partners
Capital One miles now transfer to 15 airlines. And, after all of the improvements this year, transfers to 13 of these airlines are at a 1:1 ratio. Just remember that you won't be able to transfer to JetBlue TrueBlue after October 24, 2021.
You still transfer your miles on Capital One's website, as you did before. The only thing that has changed is how many miles you'll get from transfers.
Eligible Capital One Cards
Four cards earn Capital One miles, which now transfer to 17 travel loyalty program partners. These cards include:
- Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card
- Capital One VentureOne Rewards Credit Card
- Capital One Spark Miles for Business
- Capital One Spark Miles Select for Business
Both the Capital One Venture and Spark Miles earn 2X miles on every purchase. Spark Miles Select earns 1.5X miles per dollar spent on all purchases, and Capital One VentureOne earns 1.25 Miles per dollar on every purchase, every day. 5 Miles per dollar on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel.
Bottom Line
For most of us, transfers at a 1:1 ratio are a minimum expectation. And now, you can transfer Capital One miles to six additional programs at these optimal rates. This leaves only two programs with lesser transfer rates. Maybe we'll get lucky and see those change soon, also.
