Capital One Shopping and Capital One Offers have boosted rates for StubHub today. I’m seeing 35% cashback or 20X miles, but there might well be even better targeted rates out there for some people.
This could therefore be a great day to redeem the StubHub credit if you have a Chase Sapphire Reserve® card, especially because you only have a month left to use the January-June credit.

Quick Thoughts
The rates you see will be targeted. Some Capital One Shopping accounts have 17.5% cashback, others have 35%, while others might have other rates available.
As a reminder, Capital One Shopping is a shopping portal that’s available to anyone, even if you don’t have any Capital One credit cards. If you do have any of their cards, be sure to check Capital One Offers too, a portal that’s available for cardholders only. On there I’m seeing 20X miles for StubHub, although you might see a rate that’s higher or lower than that. To view your Capital One Offers, log in to your Capital One account and scroll down to the section where it says ‘Activate shopping offers.’ Click on ‘View all offers’ and on the next screen near the top you should see your StubHub rate. If you have a card that earns miles, you’ll earn miles. If you have a card that earns cashback, you’ll earn that as cashback.
These boosted rates could be particularly appealing for anyone who has a Chase Sapphire Reserve card. That’s because the personal version of that card (but not the business version) has a $150 Stubhub credit for January to June each year and another $150 credit for July to December. If you haven’t redeemed your January to June credit, this might be the most rewarding opportunity you’re going to get before that expires.
This should work with Capital One Offers too. Although you have to be a Capital One cardholder to access that program, you don’t have to pay with a Capital One card. You could therefore pay with your Sapphire Reserve and earn 20X miles, or whatever rate you’re targeted for.

This could be perfect with a P1/P2 CSR Stubhub/Viagogo to buy with Viagogo and then resell to yourself on Stubhub for an inflated price at 35X – then cash out the difference
TBF I have zero clue how much fees are to sell on Stubhub.
Then rinse repeat P2/P1 (if you both have CSR and $150 credits unused).
PSA Viagogo- triggers the CSR “$150 Stubhub” credits. Viagogo often tends to be cheaper for the exact same seats (at least it has been the case since we got the $150 credits Sept 26th).
Thanks, Stephen! I got the 35% offer. I’ve been waiting for a good offer to get concert tickets for the end of June. Today was the day.
