Can I Use Capital One Points To Pay For Airbnb / VRBO?
Can you use Capital One Points to pay for VRBO or Airbnb?
Are they coding as “travel” so you can use the Capital One purchase eraser option?
I’ve been working on ways for my parents to travel for free in their retirement and they love VRBO and Airbnb.
I’ve searched the page and web but haven’t found anything 100% definitive or recent.
Just wanted a confirmation before I make the Capital One move for them.
Also does Airbnb count as Capital One Venture X vacation rental credit?

Yes it should code as travel so you can use the purchase eraser.

Capital One’s Purchase Eraser feature does exactly what its name suggests:
It allows you to use your accumulated rewards (miles, in this case) to “erase,” or offset, eligible travel purchases that you make with your card.
In effect, you get a statement credit for that specific travel expense, at a value of a penny per mile, as long as you make the redemption within 90 days of purchase.

Yes, I’ve erased many Airbnbs over the years on my Capital One.
