Capital One® Orbitz® Visa® Platinum

From the CompareCards.com Editorial Team:

Capital One – a pioneer in terms of creating rewards programs within the credit card industry – teamed up with the popular online travel agency Orbitz to create this special Visa platinum card. With it you can earn rewards on flights, hotels, and more and then book your travel plans at Orbitz.com for additional bonus points.

You earn points for everyday purchases at a rate of 1 point per dollar spent, but you can earn triple that amount when you spend money on eligible Orbitz bookings. Points can be redeemed for travel, for gift cards, or for cash, and there is no annual fee for card membership.

Points don’t expire like they do with many rewards programs, and there is no limit placed on how many points you can earn. Get your cash back anytime as an account credit or check, or set up automatic redemption. Capital One frequently offers those who sign up for this card an introductory APR offer at zero percent, too, so if you can take advantage of that it makes the card even more appealing.

The Bottom-Line
This is probably the perfect card for those who do lots of traveling and like to book their reservations for air travel, hotels, and other services through the popular Orbitz online travel company. That’s because you can earn rewards on this card toward travel for all categories of purchases, but if you pay for eligible Orbitz products you earn triple rewards.

The Good
There is no annual fee or expiration date on rewards, and you can earn as many as you like without limits. Plus you get triple points when you use the card on eligible transactions at Orbitz.com.

The Not So Good
If you do not use Orbitz you’ll miss out on what is perhaps the best feature of this card. So if for some reason you don’t want to book travel through Orbitz.com you might be better served by a different type of card.
