However, five programs transfer at less favorable ratios \u2014 EVA Air Infinity MileageLands, Accor Live Limitless, Emirates Skywards, Japan Airlines JMB, and JetBlue TrueBlue. Additionally, there is one hotel program \u2014 Preferred Hotels \u2014 that transfers at a 1:2 ratio, doubling your points. Otherwise, all Capital One miles transfer at a 1:1 ratio. Knowing your transfer ratios is important when considering the value of each transfer partner. You'll need to transfer a minimum of 1,000 miles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Competitive pricing:<\/strong> A strong transfer ratio only goes so far if award flights or hotel nights are overpriced. We also considered how competitively each program prices awards compared to other loyalty programs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Diversity of usefulness: <\/strong>We considered whether a program offers attractive prices on multiple trip options. Nearly every loyalty program has a few standout sweet spots, but programs with broader long-term usefulness ranked higher.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Variety of benefits:<\/strong> Are there multiple perks and benefits within the program? As with the previous point, you can find one perk or benefit to nearly every hotel and airline program, but having multiple positive aspects helped us decide which programs came out on top.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/capital-one-rewards\/how-to-transfer-capital-one-miles\/\" rel=\"noopener\">How To Transfer Capital One Miles to Airline and Hotel Partners: A Step-By-Step Guide<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Air_Canada_Aeroplan\">Air Canada Aeroplan<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/airlines\/air-canada-aeroplan\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Air Canada's Aeroplan program<\/a> may just be the most valuable Capital One transfer partner. As a member of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/airlines\/airline-alliances-and-partnerships\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Star Alliance<\/a>, Aeroplan gives you access to valuable partner award flights with airlines like United, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike many of today's airlines, Air Canada still publishes award charts, which helps provide more predictable pricing. Further, it doesn't usually pass on carrier-imposed fees, which means you won't pay an arm and a leg in surcharges when booking award tickets.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Award_charts\">Award charts<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Air Canada uses hybrid zone-and-distance award charts.

There are two important perks you need to know about:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You can create a family account with two adults and up to six children. First, create a free loyalty account for each person. Then, you can transfer miles between family members, making it simple to track each person's account without having to log in separately.<\/li>\n<li>Award tickets for children ages 2\u201311 are 25% off when flying with an adult. This means that a family of four can fly from the U.S. to Europe for as little as 87,500 miles one way after you transfer Capital One miles into your account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Take a look at this example of the child discount. All three of these options are for two adults and two children booked through Air France's website.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The first flight is with Delta and costs 80,500 miles plus $184 in taxes.<\/li>\n<li>The second flight is part of Air France's Promo Rewards, which can be stacked with the child discount, making it just 64,624 miles, but the taxes are higher at $558.<\/li>\n<li>The third flight is priced at the standard rate of 25,000 points per adult and 18,750 points per child, with taxes also costing $558.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_258915\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/462\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-258915 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-18-at-12.43.15-PM-750x462.png\" alt=\"Air France showing three flight options from New York to Paris\" width=\"750\" height=\"462\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-18-at-12.43.15-PM-750x462.png 750w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-18-at-12.43.15-PM-900x555.png 900w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-18-at-12.43.15-PM-768x473.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-18-at-12.43.15-PM-1536x947.png 1536w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-18-at-12.43.15-PM.png 1736w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Screenshot of Air France<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p>Having multiple options for points prices and taxes \u2014 and being able to stack discounts \u2014 is just one more reason to love Flying Blue.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Japan_Airlines_JAL\">Japan Airlines (JAL)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/news\/capital-one-rewards\/qatar-jal-i-prefer-transfer-partners\/\" rel=\"noopener\">September 2025, Capital One miles can be transferred to JAL<\/a> at a 2:1.5 ratio, making this popular program much more valuable. And yes, you're seeing that correctly \u2014 it's a sub-1:1 ratio. But we're still including it on our list of best transfer partners due to its <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/airlines\/japan-airlines-mileage-bank-sweet-spots\/\" rel=\"noopener\">sweet spot availability<\/a> and flexible flight options.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, we've seen multiple <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/news\/capital-one-rewards\/japan-airlines-transfer-bonus\/\" rel=\"noopener\">transfer bonuses<\/a> that make it a nearly 1:1 transfer ratio if you time it right.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Award_calendar\">Award calendar<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the most notable reasons for inclusion on this list is that JAL opens its award calendar 360 days in advance, well ahead of many other programs that open 331 days out. This makes it easier to secure JAL's longed-for business-class seats, rather than waiting and hoping there are still seats available to book when partner airlines' calendars open a month later.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jal.co.jp\/jp\/en\/jalmile\/use\/jal\/inter\/routemiles.html\" rel=\"noopener\">JAL's award chart<\/a>, business-class seats start at 55,000 miles plus taxes and fees, which are typically under $200, from the U.S. to Japan.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_258823\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/147\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-258823 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-17-at-2.15.49-PM-750x147.png\" alt=\"JAL showing a business-class flight from SFO to HND for 55,000 miles\" width=\"750\" height=\"147\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-17-at-2.15.49-PM-750x147.png 750w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-17-at-2.15.49-PM-900x176.png 900w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-17-at-2.15.49-PM-768x150.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-17-at-2.15.49-PM.png 1494w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Screenshot of JAL<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p>However, those tickets can be hard to find. More often, you'll see tickets ranging from 70,000\u2013100,000 miles, which is still a solid deal for these premium cabin experiences.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Stopover_program-2\">Stopover program<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Adding to its value, JAL has one of the most generous <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/airlines\/layover-vs-stopover\/\" rel=\"noopener\">stopover programs<\/a> on the market. JAL calls it a multicity itinerary and allows you to book up to seven stops on round-trip tickets that include <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/airlines\/airline-alliances-and-partnerships\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Oneworld alliance partners<\/a>. It can be booked through your Mileage Bank account, under the Oneworld award tab, or through JAL's customer service phone number.<\/p>\n<p>JAL runs a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jal.co.jp\/jp\/en\/jalmile\/use\/partner_air\/oneworld\/miles.html\" rel=\"noopener\">distance-based award chart<\/a>, which means you can find some great deals. For example, a round-trip itinerary with partner airlines totaling 4,000 miles or less costs only 25,000 miles in economy. Let's say you live in Dallas and want to book a beachy adventure. You could book Dallas (DFW) to San Diego (SAN), then to Los Cabos (SJD), then back to Dallas. This totals approximately 3,100 miles traveled, making it just 25,000 JAL miles to book the entire trip. That's quite a steal.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Other_things_to_know\">Other things to know<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are some downsides and quirks to keep in mind as you search and book award flights through JAL.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your Mileage Bank account must be open for 60 days before you can book an award flight; however, that number goes down to seven if you're transferring miles from Capital One.<\/li>\n<li>The JAL website is a bit clunky and outdated, so we recommend practice searches to learn how it works before you're ready to actually book your flight.<\/li>\n<li>JAL award flights cannot be changed, but they can be canceled for a fee of 3,100 JPY, or roughly $20.<\/li>\n<li>Award flights must be booked at least 96 hours in advance online or 48 hours in advance by phone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"Wyndham_Rewards\">Wyndham Rewards<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This list wouldn't be complete without talking about one of Capital One's hotel partners. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/hotels\/wyndham-rewards\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Wyndham Rewards<\/a> may not be known for the glitz and glamour of its luxury rivals, but it shouldn't be ignored. Wyndham has one of the largest hotel footprints of any hotel loyalty program. No matter where you go, you'll likely find a Wyndham property to rest your head.<\/p>\n<p>One reason Wyndham Rewards is among the best Capital One transfer partners is that nightly redemption rates fall within <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wyndhamhotels.com\/wyndham-rewards\/redeem\" rel=\"noopener\">three award categories<\/a> on the award chart:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>7,500 points<\/li>\n<li>15,000 points<\/li>\n<li>30,000 points<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Below are examples of good Wyndham redemptions. However, it's not always worth redeeming points with Wyndham. When cash rates are low, using points is less attractive. As a general rule, you're looking for redemptions that save you more than 1 cent per point when transferring Capital One miles to Wyndham.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Wyndham_Alltra_Punta_Cana_All-Inclusive_Resort\">Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This all-inclusive resort is a steal when booked through Wyndham Rewards for 30,000 points per night, rather than the $500-plus cash rate. That's a redemption value of 1.70 cents per point, well above our recommended 1 cent per point.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_258839\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/321\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-258839 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-17-at-5.46.14-PM-750x321.png\" alt=\"Wyndham booking page for a room with a king bed and view. \" width=\"750\" height=\"321\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-17-at-5.46.14-PM-750x321.png 750w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-17-at-5.46.14-PM-900x385.png 900w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-17-at-5.46.14-PM-768x329.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-17-at-5.46.14-PM-1536x657.png 1536w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-17-at-5.46.14-PM.png 1874w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Screenshot of Wyndham<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_258838\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/500\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-258838 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/58542_exterior_view_1.avif\" alt=\"Winding blue hotel pool lined with green grass and palm trees with the ocean in the distance\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><center><em>Credit: Wyndham<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<h3><span id=\"Baymont_by_Wyndham_Gatlinburg_on_the_River\">Baymont by Wyndham Gatlinburg on the River<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Off-season rates can be under $100.

Back <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/news\/capital-one-rewards\/qatar-jal-i-prefer-transfer-partners\/\" rel=\"noopener\">when JAL was added as a transfer partner<\/a>, Capital One also added the Preferred Hotels I Prefer Hotel Rewards program. Points transfer at a 1:2 ratio, which seems great at face value. However, the Preferred Hotels program features mostly luxury properties, and award nights often run upwards of 75,000 points.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the favorable transfer ratio, you're still looking at a lot of points per night. Furthermore, Preferred Hotels has a significantly smaller global footprint, so properties are harder to find. For these reasons, we still think Wyndham is Capital One's best hotel transfer partner.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, regarding hotels, you can transfer Capital One miles to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/hotels\/choice-privileges\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Choice Privileges<\/a>, but the 1:1 transfer ratio leaves something to be desired. That's because you'll find a better transfer ratio to Choice from both Citi (1:1.5) and Wells Fargo (1:2) \u2014 much better than what Capital One offers.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_To_Earn_Capital_One_Miles\">How To Earn Capital One Miles<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So how do you <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/capital-one-rewards\/capital-one-miles-credit-cards\/\" rel=\"noopener\">earn Capital One miles<\/a> to use with these valuable partners?
