Capital One is currently offering an unadvertised 25% bonus when transferring miles to Emirates Skywards. For every 1,000 Capital One miles transferred, users are receiving 1,250 Emirates miles. This bonus appears to be active now, though it’s not officially promoted—so proceed with caution and take screenshots to document your transfer.
Transfers are instant so you can do small transfers to make sure this works. Not sure if it’s intentional or not and if transfers will be reversed/revised to the normal.
This is the first reported Emirates transfer bonus from Capital One since 2019, making it a rare opportunity. Transfers are reportedly instant, allowing you to test with smaller amounts before committing more.
Please note that American Express will temporarily suspend transfers to Emirates starting May 28. Chase will also pause transfers beginning May 29, with availability expected to resume around June 30. Additionally, effective July 27, Citi will reduce its transfer rate to Emirates from 1:1 to 1:0.8. No other Citi transfer partners will be affected.
