Capital One Offers came on strong yesterday with a number of big targeted offers. Reader Troy further reported getting one for Undercover Tourist for 50,000 miles with $1,000 spent, which would be an amazing return on theme park tickets (Undercover Tourist sells Disney and Universal tickets). We also saw offers yesterday for Busch Gardens and Sea World.
The Deal
- Several new targeted Capital One Offers are out that are good for theme park tickets. A few examples we have seen include:
- Undercover Tourist: Spend $1,000, earn 50,000 miles
- Busch Gardens: Spend $175, earn 2,500 miles
- Sea World: Spend $150, earn 5,000 miles
Key Terms
- See individual offer terms (most require meeting minimum spend before taxes according to the terms)
Quick Thoughts
As is the case with other Capital One Offers, you’ll only find these in your Capital One account (as opposed to Capital One Shopping, which is a completely different thing).
Note that some readers reported yesterday that after they used one of these big “Spend $X, earn a lot of miles” offers, all of the rest of them disappeared. You may need to choose wisely as to which to use. Note also that some readers reported seeing these, waiting, and then not seeing them again later. Your mileage may vary, but you may want to think about which (if any) you’d like to use before seeking them out I guess.
These offers could obviously be appealing if you’re planning a theme park trip. The Busch Gardens offer wouldn’t be enough to draw me there without existing plans, but the Undercover Tourist offer might actually be enough to draw me back to Disney World if I had it. Sadly, neither my wife nor I have been targeted for any of these new huge Capital One Offers lately.

You are the man, Nick! I’ve been searching for Disney deals all weekend (all the Disney gift card deals were sold out by the time I woke up Friday morning). Almost bought tickets last night on UT – glad I didn’t! My offer was 30k miles for $1000 spend – still a great bonus!
Do you have to use a Capital1 card to pay for the offer or just clicking thru the offer to track it and using any card would qualify?
Their official FAQ explicitly states you do NOT have to use a C1 card to purchase
Where do you find these offers? I only know where the shopping offers are
It’s being reported that once you click on an offer the other ones quickly disappear. So, be sure to start with the offer you want the most and be prepared to book once you click on it. I made this mistake yesterday and lost the 30k BA offer.
Yep, I mentioned that in the post!
I’ve found you can leave the tab open with all the quality offers loaded and keep using it. Just be sure to use another tab to log back into C1 and get to shopping (which loads new offers)…but original offers still sitting there in your other tab until it eventually times out. Have 1 verified, 1 pending, and used another 4 offers before they all disappeared.
