Quick Thoughts
This is a fantastic return on a Hotels.com booking. Based on our Reasonable Redemption Value of 1.45c per Capital One mile, this is like a $290 return on $350 (and in some cases, it is possible to do far better than 1.45c per mile). If I had this offer, I’d probably be checking over all of my upcoming trips to decide where and how this could be useful.
It is a little unclear to me whether the total spent needs to be before taxes. The terms seem to suggest that you must spend $350 before taxes, though the language there seems like it was written with a more traditional store in mind. Still, the safest bet would be using this offer on a booking where the rate is higher than $350 before taxes & fees.
Note that there are many other similar offers available for other travel brands (including a Trip.com offer to spend $300 and earn 15,000 miles), so it is well worth logging in to check which offers you’ve received.

Nothing but I did see 15x on Hertz and 25x on Viator.
Is there the opportunity to buy a hotels.com GC and use it for future bookings? WOuld the offer also be good buying the GC?
Unlikely; payment is processed by CashStar, so it probably won’t track unless Capital One Offers are more lenient (like Chase Offers).
Nothing. Bummer. However, 9x on JB Vacations isn’t bad if you pay cash on stuff — they often can be lower priced for Caribbean getaways.
mine was spend $550 but either way, awesome deal
