It’s worth noting that some Capital One cards earn 2 miles per dollar on everything, making the 1.6 cent per mile value an understatement as you’d be earning a 3.2% yield on every day spend.

The stated value also assumes you will take advantage of transfer partners rather than book via their booking portal, where they are only worth 1 cent (in most cases).
