Update: Several readers have commented to highlight that Capital One Offers – the shopping portal available for Capital One cardholders – is also offering a similar, but better, deal.
The rates are targeted, but it seems like you can earn 25x-35x Capital One miles for Hotels.com for today only too. That’s even better than earning 25%-30% back because with Capital One Shopping you’re limited to redeeming for a selection of merchant gift cards, whereas with Capital One Offers you’re earning transferable miles (provided you have a card that earns miles rather than cashback).

Capital One Shopping frequently offers very generous returns for some retailers on a targeted basis based on your browsing history. They’re currently offering 25% or 30% back on Hotels.com bookings, but what makes this much less common is that it’s a public offer that’s not targeted.
It is an opportunity you’ll need to jump on if interested though because you only have today (October 21) to book.
The Deal
- Earn 25% or 30% back at Hotels.com via Capital One Shopping.
- Direct link to offer.
Key Terms
- Expires October 21, 2025.
- Limit $250 back.
Quick Thoughts
25% or 30% back at Hotels.com is an excellent deal, but as noted above these rates are only available on Tuesday October 21.
The 25% rate is listed on the home page of Capital One Shopping, but in an email from Capital One Shopping today it’s listing the rate at 30%. I’d therefore double check both options (provided you get an email from Capital One Shopping today); I don’t think either rate is targeted per se; I think it’s just the location from which you click through that’s offering a different rate.
With a limit of $250 back, you’ll max this out when spending $833.33 if you use the 30% offer or $1,000 if you have the 25% offer.
