Capital One Adds Japan Airlines As New Transfer Partner
Capital One cardholders today have a new transfer partner for their miles, Japan Airlines Mileage Bank. This is an exciting development as the other only option for transferring to Japan Airlines is Bilt Rewards.
Japan Airlines Mileage Bank is not a transfer partner of any of the other major currencies like American Express, Chase Ultimate Rewards or Citi ThankYou Points.
The airline is already showing online in the list of transfer partners, and there’s also a 30% transfer bonus that runs through October 22, 2025.
The normal transfer ratio is 1,000 Capital One Miles to 750 JAL Miles. So with this transfer bonus you get close to 1 : 1. Capital One says that new JAL Mileage Bank accounts will have a seven-day waiting period before miles can be redeemed.
In addition to Japan Airlines Mileage Bank, Capital One has also added Qatar Airways Privilege Club at a 1 : 1 ratio and I Prefer Hotel Rewards at 1 : 2 There is no transfer bonus for these two programs. That brings the total to 22 airline and hotel transfer partners.
To transfer Capital One Miles, you must have at least 1,000 Capital One miles. The name on your Capital One account also has to match the name on your travel loyalty program.
You can check out all the current transfer bonuses.
