Capital One now transfers to 15 different airlines and has had four transfer bonus offers. Starting today, Capital One is launching their 5th transfer bonus in less than a year. Cardholders will enjoy a 33% Capital One transfer bonus to Qantas that is available through October 31st.

The Bald Thoughts
The Capital One Venture Card has earned a spot in my wallet with the addition of so many transfer partners. I love that it earns an unlimited 2x miles on every purchase, so it is a great credit card for un-bonused spend.
