How do I earn this bonus?
- Apply through the issuer’s offer page; approval is required.
- Spend $4,000 on eligible purchases in the first three months.
- Eligible cardholders also receive a $300 hotel/vacation rental credit through Capital One Travel, expiring one year after opening. Use it at checkout while the account is open and in good standing. A canceled booking restores the credit only if it has not expired; the credited portion earns no rewards.
