Capital One Venture X Card's Unheralded Hotel Amenity: Reasons for My Affection
Capital One Introduces Exclusive Premier Collection for Travel Perks
Capital One has unveiled a new premium hotel booking benefit, the Capital One Premier Collection, available exclusively to holders of the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card and the Capital One Venture X Business Card. This collection offers an array of benefits and a strong mile-earning potential on travel bookings made through Capital One Travel.
What's Included in the Capital One Premier Collection?
The Premier Collection offers a host of elite-style benefits, including earning 10X miles on paid bookings, a fourth night free on stays of four or more nights, a $100 experience credit usable for dining, spa, or other hotel activities, complimentary breakfast for two daily, complimentary Wi-Fi, complimentary room upgrades when available, and early check-in and late checkout when available.
Access to the Premier Collection
To access and use the Premier Collection, bookings must be made through the Capital One Travel portal using an eligible cardholder's name. The cardholder must also be part of the traveling party. Benefits like the $100 experience credit are charged to the room and applied at checkout. The $300 annual travel credit on the Venture X cards can be used toward Premier Collection bookings.
Cards Providing Access to the Premier Collection
The Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card and the Capital One Venture X Business Card grant access to the Premier Collection.
| Card Name | Access to Premier Collection | Notes | |----------------------------------|------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------| | Capital One Venture X | Yes | Includes premium benefits and 10X miles on bookings| | Capital One Venture X Business | Yes | Same access as personal Venture X |
Cards with Only Lifestyle Collection Access
The Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card and the Capital One Spark Miles for Business provide access only to the Lifestyle Collection, which offers fewer benefits.
In summary, the Capital One Premier Collection is a premium hotel booking benefit exclusive to Venture X cardholders, enhancing luxury stays with credits, upgrades, and flexibility not available through other Capital One card programs. This collection is a great option for travelers seeking a premium all-in-one credit card.
