The Summer 2011 Catalog has very few giftcards. The ones that are listed are good(10,000 pts for $100 giftcard). I just can’t find a list online to see if anyothers are available. Has anyone found a list of other cards that might be available?

There is an online Capital One rewards catalog. You should be able to view it after logging into your account.

I’m not sure how Jet Blue works since I live in one of the “fly-over states”. However, I know that usually tickets purchased together are assigned seats together IF there is enough of a block a free seats to do so. Obviously, the more seats you purchase the harder that block can be to find. On a crowded flight it might be better to purchase two sets of two tickets so that at least you can pair up.

Thanks for the tip about Jet Blue seats. Maybe you saved someone else the trouble.

I have run into a significant problem with Capital One’s online booking system. I bought 4 tickets for a Jet Blue flight and the site did not warn me that I need to call back right away to get seat assignments. When I did call back they had spread me and my family with minor children all over the plane. The flight was completely booked and the only way to rectify it was to pay an extra 280 dollars for the extra legroom seats. Capital One refuses to reimburse me for this expense. I find this lack of information ridiculous and almost criminal. If they sell you 4 seats they should be four together, no matter what!

Lorenzo,
The catalog you just received is the 2010 Capital One Rewards catalog for the end of the year holidays. This article is about last year’s catalog. I made a post saying that I got the new one recently, as well and will write a new article about it soon.

At first glance I see 5,000 miles for a $25 Best Buy Card which is the same old low redemption rate. However, it looks like gift cards are no longer all at a flat rate. A $50 Land’s End gift card, for example, is 7,750 miles. Still lower than 1 percent, but better than 0.5 percent.

By the way, your Caps Lock key is on.

Thank you for your comment.

THE CRITIQUE OF CAPITAL ONE’S GIFT CARD PROGRAM IS INACCURATE. IT STATES THAT A $50 GIFT CARD REQUIRES USE OF 10,000 MILES. THE 2010 GIFT CATALOG I JUST RECEIVED STATES THAT $50 GIFT CARDS ARE AVAILABLE FOR $5,000 MILES, NOT 10,000 AS STATED IN THE ABOVE CRITIQUE. THUS, ITS REDEMPTION RATE IS @100 PER DOLLAR, THE SAME AS THE BETTER CARDS TO WHICH IT’S COMPARED. IT IS NOT THE “TERRIBLE” PROGRAM IT’S MADE OUT TO BE.

That is too bad that they wouldn’t work with you on that at all. I agree that it is not in the company’s best long-term interest to put a customer out like that over less than $5, although technically from their point of view, it is a lot more since you have used up those miles. Even so, that is very short-term thinking and it will cost them in the long run. Customers are not going to be as interested in every credit card offer that comes their way anymore, so finding new card holders won’t be so easy and loyal customers will be at a premium. Too bad for Capital One that you won’t be one of theirs.
