How Do I Erase My Capital One Purchases?
Pam
Our question of the week is, “How do I erase my Capital One purchases?”
Capital One Venture Miles can primarily be redeemed in three different ways:
- Capital One Travel Portal
- Transfer Partners
- “Erase” travel purchases
Let’s go over #3 today. First, you need to sign in to your Capital One account. Once you’re signed in, you’ll want to click “View Rewards.”
It will then bring up this screen that shows you all the ways you can redeem your Venture miles. You want to select, “Cover Travel Purchases”.
We do not recommend redeeming your miles for experiences, gift cards, or cashing them out. As outlined above, we primarily stick with the top three options. Here is what you will see next:
This shows two travel purchases I have made that I can cover with miles. You have 90 days from when a purchase posts to “erase” it using your Capital One miles. If I wanted to cover my Metro purchase, I would select the purchase then press “continue.”
Once I select “confirm,” my miles would be deducted and I would receive a statement credit for $2.50 to my account. It is really that easy. You just have to remember that this just works for travel purchases. This is a great way to pay for vacation rentals or hotels that are not transfer partners of Capital One.
Bottom Line
How do I erase my Capital One purchases? As you can see, it is really easy to do! What will you “erase” with your Venture miles?

do you still earn points on the purchases you erase? for example if i book an airbnb with my venture x card will i still get the miles after i erase the purchase?
Yes, you will.
I’m a little confused about the “90 days to erase purchases’’ If I receive a statement every 30 days then have a subsequent due date that would be less than 90 days from purchase?
