On the contrary, the reason why Cap One now has the redemption sentence on the application page when they didn't before is undoubtedly because they were called on it.

Strange, the last poster, a moderator, says Cap One may be using "miles" in a misleading manner, while you say my reasoning is faulty. The very reason Truth in Advertising and Truth in Lending laws were passed was because of businesses operated this way, drawing people in with one claim and putting something else in the T & C (aka small print), then using the latter as their defense. If you're not one of them, you certainly should apply. Your silly baiting me about getting a lawyer and filing a complaint is right representative of their ilk.
