>>>>>> If the ticket can be bought with money, then it can be "purchased" with Cap One points. No blackouts or limited availability games with Cap One points.
Excellent!
>>>>>>>Only sad part is that I did not get UA ff miles credited to my UA ff account even though the reservation had my UA number, and was viewable on UA's website. Maybe the operating carrier treats it like a free ticket.
Oh no, the horrors!! Can someone else familiar with Capital One redemptions confirm this? I hope it is NOT true!!!

Another thing that I like about this type of CC is that you don't have to deal with any capacity controls (think: DL).

Has anyone received their passcode from C1 yet? If you did, how did you get it?

I called about the sign up and asked if I could just move half my credit line from my orbitz card as I did not want to go thru the hassle of unfreezing all 3 of my credit reports. Rep said no, so I just unfroze my reports and applied online and was approved with $20,000 credit line, same as my orbitz. Current credit score is 777.

Applied and was approved instantly. Went ahead and picked up an AA Visa while I was at it, just in case a) I decide to use my AA account and b) hard pulls mean I'm locked out of credit seeking for a while.
A point for UA flyers: we actually DO HAVE a credit card mileage rewards statement. Anybody remember Choices? It's still accessible and if you needed a statement that showed how much you'd actually earned through credit card spending, it's right there. Mine shows my credit card spending matching my total mileage balance at the moment ^

Does the matching apply to your current mileage balance on given statement? Or accumulated mileage up to 100k? I recently used a large chunk of miles, although my stmt does show the beginning balance was higher.

I would hang on to that statement. Hard to believe that wouldn't be considered 'current.'

here's one of the catches (from what i can gather): you have to have one of the exact cards that's listed by capital one as outlined in their terms and conditions since they are obviously aware of other recent airline promos, most notably the 75/100k Citi AA cards.
* American Airlines Card
NOT a Citi AA card
* Continental Airlines Card
NOT a chase CO card
* United Mileage Plus Visa Card
i think this is the 50k bonus chase card from april, 2010
* American Airlines Card

Mods - can we redact this bad information?

If I got the 75K mile promotion from the Amex Platinum sign up bonus (50K MR points transferred to Skymiles) and that is where the majority of my miles is from, I'm guessing that would NOT qualify me for the CapOne promotion?

Anyone get approved with scores below 740? I am wondering whether to pull the trigger for my parents. Their scores are around 720 ish for experian, a bit higher for EQ and TU. No negative records but lots of new account and relatively new credit file. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
I was instantly approved with 5k limit, but of course, YMMV

Possibly not. Do you have one of the listed cards that's also contributing miles? Just know that per the terms they COULD limit the match to what an airline CC put in your account.

Nobody nows for sure but I would guess that it would work for you becuase you will just provide a delta statement. I doubt they will ask for proof that you have a card
