Updated 12:00pm PT on 7/27/23: The travel credit posted a few days after purchasing the flights from the Capital One Travel portal. Scroll down to see the update.
Good afternoon everyone. After I saw the 10K Anniversary Points Post & $300 Travel Credit Reset for Capital One Venture X Credit Card, I browsed around the Capital One Travel portal and saw that I had 2 targeted offers: $75 off flights to Montana & $30 off flights to New Mexico. I am close to SFO, so the location of the offers might be targeted to people in California or the West Coast, I am not sure. There is no specific airline required and no limited booking window either. I decided to take advantage of the first offer and booked an Alaska Airlines flight from Seattle to Bozeman, Montana. As you can see, the $75 credit was applied to the reservation and the remaining $54 was charged to my Capital One Venture X Credit Card. Since I just got my $300 travel credit “renewed,” the $54 travel purchase should get reimbursed by Capital One in a few days / weeks.
The Capital One Travel portal lets you purchase basic economy flights (which I always skip), standard economy flights (which can be changed after booking), and then a special economy flight that costs a few dollars more, but you can cancel and get back 80% of your flight as future travel credit. I went with the standard economy flights.
