Rewards Redemption: The number of miles required for travel redemption will depend on the cost of the itinerary you choose at the time of redemption. The mileage requirement is as follows: 12,500 miles are required for tickets up to $150.00; 25,000 miles are required for tickets from $150.01 up to $350.00; 50,000 miles are required for tickets from $350.01 up to $600.00. For tickets over $600.00 in value, the required number of miles will be determined by multiplying the cost of the ticket by 100 (ex. $768 ticket requires 76,800 miles). The number of miles required to redeem for non-air travel redemptions will vary by rewards product and are subject to change at any time without notice. Once enrolled, you can visit www.capitalone.com/milesrewards to register the account and to see a complete description of current redemption offers. You will be responsible for all associated taxes, airport security charges, fuel surcharges and other usage fees required for travel. These charges will be included in the overall calculation to determine the appropriate number of miles required for redemption. Please note, for existing Capital One No Hassle Miles customers combining miles with a Rewards Money Market Account, your previously disclosed No Hassle Miles schedules and rules remain in effect and will apply to this rewards offer. The value of any miles redeemed for this money market product will be included in your year-to-date interest and year end tax reporting.
