Capital One to Erase Travel

If you have a Venture or Venture X card from Capital One, you have the option to “erase” travel related expenses from your credit card. This basically means that you can use your credit card points in order to cover a lot of different travel related expenses. Most travel credit cards only cover things such as hotel or airfare.

The weird thing about this though, is Disneyland and Walt Disney World’s tickets bought directly from Disney and dining inside these parks don’t code on your credit card as travel. However, it is pretty simple to get these things covered!

Tickets- If you buy tickets from a travel agency such as undercovertourist or getawaytoday then they will code as travel! This will allow you to cover the cost of tickets to Disneyland or Disney World with capital one points (called miles).

Restaurants/Dining– This is going to vary based off of which of the parks listed above you are going to.

• Disneyland- This doesn’t work at Disneyland because they don’t have magic bands. We are hoping this changes in the future!
• Disney World- If you stay on property, you can use a magic band and charge any food related purchases to your room (technically ANYTHING charged to your magic band you could erase) . Your hotel room charges will code as travel. This means anything from a kiosk booth such as a water bottle will code as travel making it super easy to use points at WDW.

Right now the Venture X card has a 75,000 sign on point bonus. It does have a $395 dollar fee. However all of its perks make it offset easy (300 travel credit, and 10,000 anniversary points just to start)! If you don’t want to commit to a higher fee, another option is the Venture card. It currently is a 60,000 point sign on bonus. Keep in mind you can always downgrade after a year to another card. This would be 600 towards tickets and 750 towards tickets depending on the card.

Other random things that code as travel:

• Disney Cruises
• Hotel bought through Disney’s website (not tickets)
• Ride share
• Renting a car
• DVC rentals from Dave’s rentals
