- Premier Collection hotel stays also include daily breakfast for two, complimentary Wi-Fi and, when available, room upgrades, early check-in and late checkout, applied per room, per stay. [5]

What does Premier Collection include on a hotel stay?
The headline item is an experience credit of up to $100 USD, or the local currency equivalent, which the hotel applies at checkout to qualifying charges. [5] What counts as a qualifying charge varies by location and is subject to availability, and the charge has to be billed to the room during the eligible stay. [5] Capital One says to contact the hotel directly to confirm which experiences qualify, and that advance reservations are recommended for certain of them. [5]
Alongside the credit, Premier Collection hotel bookings include daily breakfast for two, complimentary Wi-Fi and, when available, room upgrades, early check-in and late checkout. [5] These benefits are applied per room, per stay. [5] Hotel terms and conditions apply, and a hotel may require a minimum number of nights for a booking to qualify. [5]
| Benefit | What applies |
|---|---|
| Experience credit | Up to $100 USD or local currency equivalent, applied at checkout to qualifying charges billed to the room [5] |
| Breakfast | Daily breakfast for two [5] |
| Wi-Fi | Complimentary [5] |
| Upgrades and timing | Room upgrade, early check-in and late checkout, when available [5] |
| How it is counted | Per room, per stay [5] |
How does the vacation rental credit work?
For stays in Premier Collection vacation rentals, a separate experience credit of up to $100 USD, or the local currency equivalent, is applied at the time of booking by the host provider rather than at checkout by a hotel. [5] The experience itself must be booked with a Capital One credit card, and for certain properties the credit is delivered as a gift card instead. [5] Qualifying options vary by location and are subject to availability, so Capital One again suggests confirming directly with the host provider and reserving in advance for some experiences. [5]
The other vacation rental benefits are complimentary Wi-Fi and, when available, early check-in and late checkout, applied per stay. [5] Host provider terms apply, and a minimum number of nights may be required. [5] Back-to-back bookings of the same property within a 24-hour period are treated as one reservation and do not earn double benefits. [5]
How do you book and qualify for the benefits?
To qualify, a Premier Collection hotel or vacation rental booking must be made through Capital One Travel in the eligible cardholder's name, and the cardholder must be a member of the party travelling. [5] The terms describe the benefits as being available to eligible cardholders and say that participating properties and the benefits themselves are subject to change. [5]
The Premier Collection hotel and vacation rental terms appear on Capital One's Venture X card page, which lists that card's travel benefits; the same page shows an annual fee of $395 and earning of 10 miles per dollar on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel, 5 miles per dollar on flights and vacation rentals booked through Capital One Travel, and 2 miles per dollar on other purchases. [5] The page also states that Venture X miles do not expire for the life of the account, that there are no blackout dates, and that miles can be transferred to a choice of 15 or more travel loyalty programmes, after which the receiving programme's terms apply. [5]
How is Premier Collection different from Lifestyle Collection?
Capital One's terms set out a second hotel and vacation rental tier, Lifestyle Collection, alongside Premier Collection, and the two differ in the size of the credit and in the extras listed. [5]
