Book Cover for "The Great Ride Of China"

The Great Ride of China is the story of Buck Perley and Amy Mathieson’s 21,000-mile, record-breaking trip around one of the world’s oldest and most diverse countries. What started out as an idea for a month long road trip, became a journey that took the couple from the grass plains of Inner Mongolia to the deserts of Xinjiang and up to the Rooftop of the World in the Himalayas. As the story follows Buck and Amy through all 33 provinces of Mainland China, the reader will have an opportunity to not just learn about the challenges they encountered along the road, but also about a country in transition. Experiences that include 20-mile traffic jams in the center of coal country, visits to cities whose histories span millennia, and a chat with a resident of a cave dwelling equipped with satellite TV offer a unique view into a country that today is often heard of but rarely understood.

I wanted this piece to resmeble the illustrated fashion magazines of yesteryear.

8 amazing travel book cover examples to pique your wanderlust, table of content, discover few great travel book cover design ideas to make you yearn for the outdoors.

Most of us would love to drop everything and travel around the world enjoying the different cultures and people we meet. However, we often ignore the lure of this carefree nomadic lifestyle due to various responsibilities.

However, there’s nothing wrong with enjoying the thrill of such adventures vicariously. And one of the best ways to do that is via travel books. Now, there is something special about these books. It doesn’t matter if you visit a bookstore for a specific travel book, or are enticed by an amazing travel book cover while browsing that section. Despite being non-fiction, these books often portray a sense of excitement and intrigue that draws readers to it.

Now, every book has its fans. And they would happily argue in favor of their preferred book’s cover design. However, like it or not, there are a few metrics that denote whether a book cover idea is good or not. So, let’s dive in and discover some great examples of book covers designed by professional eBook design services , and see what are the elements that set them apart from the competition.

What Does a Good Travel Book Cover Represent?

Let’s start with the most important question at hand – what defines a good travel book cover? When we talk about book cover ideas for travel books, there are a few key things to remember.

One, the book is going to be non-fiction, which imposes some creative limitations on the design process. Secondly, as most of these writers are previously well known, with highly recognizable literary styles and tones, the book cover design has to address that too.

Finally, the overall design needs to be enticing enough to attract people who would otherwise have little to no interest in reading non-fiction.

Take the book cover above. That is the cover art for Robert Sullivan’s Cross Country, a travel book to read for the ages. As a journalist, Robert Sullivan was at that time known for contributing to various publications. And that style is reflected in the design. The cover design features a mishmash of letters and phrases cut out from various publications, as well as from hastily scrawled notes in a journalist’s notebook.

Overall, the combined impact of the design piques a potential reader’s interest, slowly drawing them in to pick it up and start reading, after which it’s the content that captures their attention.

Travel Book Cover Design Ideas – Representing Fact or Fiction in Its Design

As we mentioned earlier, most travel books are non-fiction. However, there are a few that are not entirely unembellished, which serve as an allegorical narrative. In any way, the design of your travel book cover, whether it fiction or non-fiction, is predicated on a few different elements, such as:

• The right color combinations for your accents, to frame your central design

Your choice of color scheme is very important, as it allows you to define what colors would serve as accents to your primary shades. This would allow your central design to be more visible, which would help it stand out better among the bookstore shelves, drawing the eye of potential readers to it.

• The use of visual contrast that defines how well the central element of the design pops out

Just like the right colors can be used as accents to add to the design’s overall visual appeal, so can you use colors to provide a compelling contrast that would serve the same purpose. Not only does it make your design stand out, but it also allows the central element of your design to pop out like no other technique can, making it the hero of your travel book cover.

• The use of the right typography hierarchy that invokes the right feel

Typography is an important factor. And with more than one written element on your book cover design, it is important that you perfectly plan out the typographic hierarchy to make the central heading pop out.

• Giving your travel book cover the right character with a handwritten font

As most of these travel books are written about the author’s experiences, the book cover design must also incorporate their vibe into it. That is why a good handwritten font is the perfect solution to give your design that raw, humanistic feel that adds to the story and its vibe.

• The use of the perfect graphics to allude to the book’s story.

Nowadays, it’s rare that a book cover design has no visuals on it. Even if quite simple, the trend is to use some sort of graphics to make the design of the book’s cover stand out. That is why, you must use some sort of graphics in your book cover design. And there is no better choice than to use graphics that allude to or call back to your book’s central theme.

Create a captivating book cover design that will grab readers' attention.

Eight Amazing Travel Book Cover Ideas to Make You Yearn to Travel the World

Now that you know what defines a good travel book cover, let’s see a few of them in action. Listed below are some of the most highly curated travel book covers, that perfectly represent the story’s theme within.

Let’s find out what they are.

Among the Cities – Jan Morris

The first book on our list is Among the Cities, written by famed British historian, traveler, and author, Jan Morris. The book is a compendium of thirty-seven essays that Jan wrote throughout her long and illustrious career, covering her travels from Houston to Beirut.

While the book’s cover has changed across various reprints, this one featured here is the perfect representation of the story of a traveler who traveled across the world, from the West to the East. The lightly shaded backdrop, covered by depictions of famous monuments from various countries, and done in the style of watercolors, sets the perfect tone for the reader. And it is also one of the only true art book cover ideas on this list.

Along the Ganges – Ilija Trojanow

Next up, we have the eponymous homage to the deep and mesmerizing culture of Hinduism, set against their holiest of rivers, the Ganges. The author, Ilija Trojanow, is a Cold War refugee from Bulgaria, who has traveled to and lived with different cultures, including in Germany, Kenya, South Africa, and more.

Trajonow traveled across the entire length of the Ganges river, from its source in the icy Himalayas, and through the chaotic cityscapes and holy places it flows through. There, he talked to the people, understanding their devotion and beliefs related to this river. And the cover of the book perfectly captures that essence of serenity and mystic belief. Showing a dying light shot of the river with a cluster of lit ceremonial lamps, it is set against the backdrop of worshipers in a boat across the calm waters.

An Area of Darkness – V. S. Naipaul

The next book is called An Area of Darkness, written by acclaimed traveler and author V. S. Naipaul. A Trinidadian-Indian by birth, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2001 , and this book, part of a trilogy, shows why.

An Area of Darkness is a pessimistic story about the grim outlook of former colonies, often categorized as third-world countries, set against the background of Naipaul’s ancestral land of India. The book describes the author’s disillusionment at the corrupt officials, poverty, and inequality, set against the serene and awe-inspiring background of the magnificent Himalayas.

The cover of the book perfectly captures the pessimistic tone, with a dark red background, and the flower on it in a dark burgundy to showcase the theme of darkness.

Arctic Dreams – Barry Lopez

Arctic Dreams is a mesmerizing book about the haunting, ethereal beauty of the Arctic Circle, written by American author, traveler, and naturalist Barry Lopez. Over his long and illustrious career, Lopez traveled to and lived in over eighty different countries, with five years of that time spent in the Alaskan and Canadian Arctic as a biologist.

In his book, he explores the wonders of the Arctic and discovers why that vast, seemingly barren landscape holds such an allure over many people. He also explores the culture and history of the indigenous people and examines the behavior of exotic animals like the Musk Oxen, narwhale, and more.

The cover of the book has changed with each reprint. However, the theme of awe-inspiring ice monoliths, or the barren icy tundra, perfectly captures the essence of the book’s theme.

As They Were – M. F. K. Fisher

As They Were is a collection of essays by famed food author M. F. K. Fisher. Although a food writer, she dived into the field of travel writing with this amazing book, exploring the time she spent in different European countries.

Most of the writings explore the various facets of living the provencal life, from quaint towns in the Swiss Alps to the homely restaurants and cafes she visited or worked at in Southern France. And while many people would argue that the book is, in its essence, still a culinary book, one cannot deny that it doesn’t paint a picture of idyllic food tours through rural France. Especially when you consider that its title typography gives it an old-school vibe found in many classic typography book cover ideas .

The Baron in the Trees – Italo Calvino

This next book is a rare one in this collection and one that breaks the mold of traditional travel books. The Baron in the Trees is a novel by late Italian author Italo Calvino. It tells the story of a young man named Cosimo, who takes to living in the trees after quarreling with his parents and vowing never to step foot on the ground again.

Rather than describe the travels of the author in the traditional sentence, it describes Cosimo’s exploration of his new kingdom, and seeing the world go by in the Age of Enlightenment. The story travels through the life of the baron, describing his friendships, loves, and eventually, his passing on to the ethereal plane.

The cover of the book has changed many times since its first release in 1957, often even taking inspiration from children’s book cover ideas . But the travel book cover we have chosen today perfectly captures the essence of mystery and adventure portrayed in this book.

Black Lamb and Grey Falcon – Rebecca West

Black Lamb and Grey Falcon is a pair of travel books written by British author and Journalist, Dame Rebecca West. It covers her six-week travels through Yugoslavia and its neighboring Balkan states, providing a stark reality of this region just before the onset of World War II.

By the time the book reached publishing, Yugoslavia’s Nazi occupation had begun, and West added a foreword to the book praising the resilience of the Yugoslavians. The book itself describes her travels through this region extensively, as well as her conversations with fellow authors from the region, including Stanislav Vinaver and Anica Savic Rebac.

The cover of the book depicts the famous Stari Most bridge in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. A popular monument, it is a rebuilt 16th-century Ottoman bridge that connects the two parts of the city across the Neretva River.

Dark Star Safari – Paul Theroux

Finally, we have the last book on this list. Dark Star Safari is a travel book written by famed author Paul Theroux. A former contemporary-turned-critic of V. S. Naipaul, the author is known for his gritty and raw style of writing, as well as the beautiful travel book cover design ideas for his books.

Describing his journey from Cairo, Egypt, to Cape Town, South Africa, it tells the story of a harsh and difficult overland journey that is nothing short of a safari. And although it takes a hard approach, it will still make you want to replicate that journey yourself.

The travel book cover for the Dark Star Safari features a steam-powered train chugging through a vast open plain, flanked on one side by sparse trees, while on the other, nothing but dust. To give the scene a vibe of difficult and harsh travels, the imagery is bathed in the stark orange-yellow light of the setting sun, which sets the perfect mood.

Final Words

Overall, finding the right travel book cover design is usually not that difficult. That is because, during their travels, these journalists often take many pictures that depict the land and its people in a way that lends to the message of the book.

However, if your book cover doesn’t feature a photograph, then you need to understand the theme of the book to come up with suitable travel book cover design ideas. In any case, your cover imagery should echo the vibe and sentiment of your book itself, as well as the personality of the author.

On top of the speedy turnaround, Walmart has a great selection of styles : You can choose everything from the photo size and layout to the type of cover, including hardcover glossy or matte, linen, leather and lay-flat glossy or matte. If you need help narrowing down the choices, there's also the option to shop by occasion, whether you're looking for a one-year anniversary or 15th-year anniversary gift .

Despite the fast shipping and variety, our expert tester, Rachel Rothman , former chief technologist and executive technical director at the Good Housekeeping Institute, did note that the quality is not as high as the options offered by other photo book makers on this list — but that may be expected considering the bargain price tag. Regardless, these photo books still make a superb present that can cost under $10 without compromising on sentimentality.

No matter the occasion, you can't go wrong with one of Artifact Uprising's high-quality photo books. There are numerous design options, including preset books to celebrate the birth of a new baby or commemorating a marriage. You can choose from lay-flat albums, books with photo strips and even softcover Instagram Friendly Books for the influencer in your life. The company even has an iPhone app that lets you create a photo book right from your smartphone. However, Rothman found the app to be glitchy at times and noted there's room for improvement with the software. Still, the books come out on top for elegance and simplicity .

One online reviewer wrote, "The fabric cover is beautiful. The photos are amazing quality and look amazing even though the photos were taken on film and therefore are a bit grainy." The overall 4.6-star rating (out of 5) backs up that review. Quality and elevated designs come with a higher price tag, but there are options for $20 or less if you're shopping on a budget.

If you have a special project and a little more money to spend, Artifact Uprising offers Design Services , which allow you to work one-on-one with an expert to bring your special moments to life. Just note that the design fee is rather steep at $119 and requires an additional $100 album deposit.

When Mixbook says it has "custom photo books for every occasion," it really means it. There are 374 different themed templates to choose from, including everything f rom travel and sports to weddings and recipes. But that doesn't mean you have to give up creative control. You can still customize the look to your liking, from fun backgrounds to stickers to text using the Editor tool. Plus, there are plenty of paper varieties, from semigloss to ultra-thick matte.

Rothman appreciated the nice balance between good photo editing and price, but she did experience issues with the lay-flat option, in which the photos bled into the crease. You can also use the iPhone app to organize your photos with a tool that the brand calls "Automagic": Simply choose the images you want and select a theme. The goal of Automagic is to help arrange your camera roll so your photos are in order when it comes time to add them to your photo book.

If you're not sure where to start, our pros love Printique because it's super easy to use. You can select one of the many predesigned layouts or create an entire photo book from scratch. Choose among portrait, landscape and square orientations, as well as hardcover and softcover options. You can even store your memories in a genuine leather or vegan leather book or pick from five different fabric colors. Although you can't choose the color for a hard- or softcover photo book, you can still customize the shape, size and paper type.

Looking for something more advanced? There'sa tool for professional photographers to design and create their own photo books. But if you want to keep things simple, consider starting with one of Printique's 4" x 4" Mini Softcover photo books , which have a maximum of 40 pages and come in three sizes.

Is Amazon Photos already your preferred destination for uploading photos? Then creating a photo book through its interface is an easy solution. Similar to other photo book makers, you can create by occasion and size, or choose its 8" x 8" Premium Photo Book for a versatile option that has a laminated cover and lay-flat binding. There's also an option with standard binding at a lower cost, and all Amazon Prime members get free shipping . (Everyone else is eligible for free shipping with a minimum order of $15.)

In addition to photo books, you can shop large prints, calendars, cards and metal tabletops. There are fewer size and style options than most services when it comes to photo books, but the other photo product choices make up for the lack of available styles. After all, sometimes it's easier and quicker to have fewer options to choose from if you need to pull something together by a certain date, like a last-minute gift for your boyfriend .

With Pinhole Press, you can choose from various photo book styles ranging from board pages to softcovers to accordion-style setups. Upload your photos and let the system do the work, or manually place the photos into the layout yourself. Rothman says her kids love the Custom Board Books , which have themes such as " Count With Me ," " Healthy Habits " and " I Can Be Anything ." These photo books aren't just visually stimulating, but they can also educate and entertain kids for years to come .

"I got my daughter the ' My First Photo Book ' as a toddler and made it all about her — like pictures with family, doing things she likes, her favorite toys, at the playground and beach, etc. — and she still is obsessed with it," says Lexie Sachs , executive director of strategy and operations at the Good Housekeeping Institute.

Rothman also notes the custom Photo Puzzle is a fun option for kids, and the Itty Bitty Books are easy to tote around in a work bag for on-hand entertainment. There's less variety in some categories, including Itty Bitty and hardcover books, but with so many additional photo categories other companies lack, there are still plenty of great options for kids.

If you store your snaps in Google Photos, then Google's very own photo book maker might be the most convenient option for you. Even though there are no fancy designs, the process is seamless. Choose from two options: a 7" x 7" softcover photo book or a 9" x 9" hardcover photo book. You can include between 20 and 140 pages, and you have the option to add a spine title if you hit more than 48 pages for a softcover or any number of pages for a hardcover.

Another hallmark of Google Photos is that you can make one photo book and order multiple copies to give to family members and friends who are also pictured in the photos. Since they come at an affordable price point, you could give everyone on your gift list a copy, whether you decide to create a collection of candid photos for your closest friends or a tangible memento of a fun family trip. Though there may not be as many designs and styles to choose from, that can make the customization process less daunting.

Chatbooks Custom Photo Books & Albums

"Set and forget it," Rothman says about the ease of using Chatbooks, which markets itself as "ridiculously easy." You can upload images from Instagram, Flickr, Dropbox, Facebook or your computer and edit them on your desktop or via the app . The service's Custom Photo Books & Albums option is great for families looking to personalize a family vacation , as you can choose colors, layouts, cover styles, collages, captions and more. Peruse its vast collection of more than 300 unique book covers, or shop the premium lay-flat and special occasion photo books.

You can also have fun with the Instagram and Facebook series — a 6" x 6" or 8" x 8" book with 60 pages — that lets you store your favorite social media posts in a tangible place to look back on for years to come.

Unique to Chatbooks is its subscription service, which allows you to receive a softcover, hardcover or mini photo book each month. If you and your family love taking photographs of walks in the park, weekend road trips or vacations, this service is ideal for getting your photos in your hands ASAP. One thing to note about the subscription option is that there are only two sizes available (5" x 7" and the monthly mini).

How we choose the best photo book makers

At the Good Housekeeping Institute , our pros in the Media & Tech Lab have been testing photo book makers for more than a decade . For this article, we referenced a robust test of photo book makers completed in 2009, examined updates to apps and ordered new products to test in 2023.

When choosing the best photo book makers, our Lab experts consider ease of use, performance and appearance . That means our pros take an in-depth look at a wide range of features, such as how easy it is to navigate the interface and add photos and text to the book; upload and delivery time; the number of styles, covers and templates offered; and the photo, paper and binding quality.

What to look for when shopping for the best custom photo book maker

Keep the following features in mind when choosing the right photo book maker website for your needs:

✔️ Size: Whether you're looking for a small photo book for kids or a much larger album to house snapshots from a long family vacation, there are regular, large and miniature photo book sizes available. It's best to think about how many photos you want to include and where you plan to store the album (i.e., will the book be too tall for your bookshelf or just right on top of your coffee table?).

✔️ Shape: Most photo books are rectangular or square in shape, but some companies also offer photo puzzles, calendars and tabletops to choose from too. The shape is really about aesthetic preference and the orientation you prefer for your photos.

✔️ Page count: Are you compiling 20 photos from your daughter's first-birthday party? Or are you putting together an anniversary album of pictures of you and your partner throughout the years? The number of pages determines the number of photos you can include in an album, so you have enough space to include everything.

✔️ Paper quality: This is probably a no-brainer, as the quality of material your photos are printed on is as important as the quality of the photos themselves. Although companies with higher-quality paper, like Artifact Uprising , may have a higher price tag, the extra money goes toward paper that won't lead to photos bleeding into the crease. But there are still services that are affordable and offer good-quality products, like our best value pick, Walmart Photo .

✔️ Binding quality: Some companies, like Google Photos , will add a binding to your photo album. This feature is especially important when considering the durability and longevity of your photo album. Whether it's a softcover, hardcover or lay-flat book, make sure the binding can withstand accidental drops and the wear and tear of passing the family album around at holiday parties.

✔️ Templates: If your photo album will have a certain theme or be centered around a specific occasion — or it's your first time using a photo book maker — choosing a service that has a variety of templates to choose from will let your creativity flow and also help you warm up to the design process.

✔️ Editing capabilities: When looking at beginner-level or more advanced designer tools, consider how robust or simple they are to use. Having lots of control over the interface is fun, but if you're looking for a more straightforward experience, opt for a service that does the majority of the decision-making for you or offers designer help, like Shutterfly .

What is the easiest way to make a custom photo book?

" It really depends upon the service and your preference ," Rothman says. Although some online custom photo book makers also have an app, it can have limited functionality, be buggy or not as easy to use as the desktop equivalent. "Often, an app makes it super simple to upload pictures from your phone (a major plus!) but doesn't allow as much flexibility for product assortment or editing once you've selected." That said, designing a photo book on your smartphone or tablet versus a desktop may come down to how many edits you intend to make .

"If you plan to do a lot of editing, the non-app version on a larger screen would likely be your best choice. If you want to quickly make a book with limited changes, an app on your mobile device may be the way to go," Rothman explains.

Istanbul, Turkey: Photo of Kadıköy passenger ferry port at sunset time. Passenger ferry, which is ... [+] coming from Beşiktaş just arrived the Kadıköy port.

Finding a great bookstore while traveling can be just as satisfying as spending the day at a beloved museum or sacred monument—and that’s certainly the case in Istanbul. The city is packed with hidden second-hand bookstores and flea market-style book alleys. The thing is—the majority of these places sell books written in Turkish, which, while beautiful to look at, mightn’t be the most practical if you’re looking for something to bring back to your hotel and read (unless of course, you speak Turkish).

That said, there are a handful of really good bookstores in Istanbul where you’ll find a huge variety of English-language books—from cookbooks and coffee table books to novels and nonfiction. Here are some of the best places to check out if you’re hoping to find a great read while in Istanbul:

Minoa Books & Coffee

Minoa Books & Coffee in Beşiktaş is a stunning spot to explore—whether you’re looking for a new book, fancy stationery, or you just want a pretty spot to stop and have a cappuccino. The independent bookstore and cafe has been around for over a decade and amassed a huge fan base thanks to its great selection of fiction and nonfiction and Instagram-friendly interior decor and art installations.

This massive bookstore chain in Istanbul might not be the most charming—but D&R is still one of the best spots in the city to find English language books and other media (including vinyl, video games, DVDs, and more). You’ll find this bookstore all over the city, including at the Istanbul Airport.

Robinson Crusoe 389

Robinson Crusoe 389 on İstiklal Caddesi is a must-visit while you’re exploring the bustling shopping street. This stunning bookstore is a great spot to stop and read (there are even cozy seating nooks to encourage patrons to stop and sample a book) and while most of the books are in Turkish, you’ll still be able to find a fair amount of English titles.

Homer Kitabevi is going to be your best bet if you have a specific book in mind that you’re hoping to source. The sprawling space is probably the most comprehensive collection of English titles in the city and also includes a huge variety of children’s literature as well. This shop also has—true to its name—a great selection of philosophy and classic literature that will be worth seeking out as well.

Kadikoy Istanbul Bookstore

This beautiful bookstore is located just above the ferry terminal in Kadikoy—and it’s well worth checking out while you wait for your ferry to the European side of the city. The selection of English titles at the Kadikoy Istanbul Bookstore is on the smaller side but the views from the second-story bookstore are bar none.

Capital One miles: How to earn, redeem and transfer rewards

Transferable credit card rewards are especially valuable because of the many ways you can redeem them. You might be familiar with rewards like Chase Ultimate Rewards points and American Express Membership Rewards points. But, another transferable reward currency that can offer significant value to some travelers is Capital One miles .

Capital One miles are appealing for many reasons. For example, several Capital One cards that earn miles earn more than 1 mile per dollar spent on all purchases. And one Capital One card that earns miles only requires good credit. Plus, you should always be able to get at least 1 cent per mile when you redeem — and you may get significantly more value if you use Capital One's transfer partners .

So, here's everything you need to know about Capital One miles.

What are Capital One miles?

Capital One miles are the rewards you earn with select Capital One cards , including the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card and Capital One Spark Miles for Business .

You can redeem these miles in many ways, including transferring to select airline and hotel loyalty programs, redeeming for travel book ed through the Capital One travel portal and redeeming to cover recent travel purchases.

Related: Who should (and shouldn't) get the Capital One Venture X card?

How to earn Capital One miles

You can earn Capital One miles through select credit cards. In particular, most Capital One credit cards offer an initial sign-up bonus when you open a new card and meet the specified spending requirements to earn the bonus. You'll also earn miles on most purchases, and some cards even offer anniversary bonus miles each year you renew your card.

Although Capital One offers many different credit cards, the Capital One cards that earn miles are those in the Venture and Spark Miles families. Here's a quick look at these cards and who they are best for:

• Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card : Best for earning Capital One miles if you'll use the $300 Capital One Travel credit each account anniversary year ($395 annual fee; see rates and fees )
• Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card : Best for earning Capital One miles ($95 annual fee; see rates and fees )
• Capital One VentureOne Rewards Credit Card : Best for earning Capital One miles without paying an annual fee ($0 annual fee; see rates and fees )
• Capital One VentureOne Rewards for Good Credit : Best for earning Capital One miles with good credit ($0 annual fee; see rates and fees )
• Capital One Venture X Business : Best business card for earning Capital One miles if you'll use the $300 Capital One Travel credit each account anniversary year ($395 annual fee; see rates and fees )
• Capital One Spark Miles for Business : Best business card for earning Capital One miles with a sub-$100 annual fee ($0 introductory annual fee for the first year, $95 after that; see rates and fees )
• Capital One Spark Miles Select for Business : Best business card for earning Capital One miles without paying an annual fee ($0 annual fee)

The information for the Capital One Spark Miles Select card has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

You can convert Capital One cash back into miles if you have one of the above cards. That means if you have a Capital One card like the Capital One SavorOne Cash Rewards Credit Card that earns cash-back rewards, you can convert your cash-back rewards into Capital One miles if you also have a card that earns Capital One miles.

I have the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card and plan to keep it long-term since it offers perks that more than offset its $395 annual fee (see rates and fees ). After all, I easily use the $300 Capital One Travel credit each account anniversary year by booking flights through the travel portal, and the 10,000-mile anniversary bonus is worth about $185 based on TPG's valuations . But check out our Capital One Venture X card review to learn about its many other valuable perks.

Capital One transfer partners

Capital One partners with several airline and hotel loyalty programs. You can transfer Capital One miles to these partner programs and then redeem through these loyalty programs if you wish.

Here's a look at the current Capital One transfer partners and the standard transfer ratios:

• Accor Live Limitless : 2:1 transfer ratio
• Aeromexico Rewards : 1:1 transfer ratio
• Air Canada Aeroplan : 1:1 transfer ratio
• Air France-KLM Flying Blue : 1:1 transfer ratio
• Avianca LifeMiles : 1:1 transfer ratio
• British Airways Executive Club : 1:1 transfer ratio
• Cathay Pacific Asia Miles : 1:1 transfer ratio
• Choice Privileges : 1:1 transfer ratio
• Emirates Skywards : 1:1 transfer ratio
• Etihad Airways Guest : 1:1 transfer ratio
• EVA Airways Infinity MileageLands : 4:3 transfer ratio
• Finnair Plus : 1:1 transfer ratio
• Qantas Frequent Flyer : 1:1 transfer ratio
• Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer : 1:1 transfer ratio
• TAP Air Portugal Miles&Go : 1:1 transfer ratio
• Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles : 1:1 transfer ratio
• Virgin Red : 1:1 transfer ratio
• Wyndham Rewards : 1:1 transfer ratio

Transfer bonuses may occasionally let you transfer Capital One miles to one or more partner programs at an elevated rate. Remember, transfers are one-way: Transferring rewards back to Capital One miles is almost always impossible once you've transferred them to a loyalty program.

How to redeem Capital One miles

You'll see multiple options for redeeming Capital One miles in your online account.

You'll typically get the best value when you transfer your miles to airline and hotel partners, but you can also get decent value when booking through the Capital One travel portal or redeeming miles to offset recent travel purchases. Here are your options and the redemption value each should provide.

Redeem with airline and hotel partners

As mentioned above, you'll typically get the best value from your miles when you transfer them to airline and hotel partners by clicking "Convert rewards." In the previous section, I listed the Capital One transfer partners and the ratios at which you can transfer Capital One miles to each partner.

Based on TPG's valuations, you can expect to get about 1.85 cents per Capital One mile when you redeem with airline and hotel partners. However, the exact value you get will depend on which transfer partners you use and the types of awards you book with these partners. Check out our story on maximizing Capital One miles for some recommendations.

Related: How to transfer Capital One miles to airline and hotel partners

Book through the Capital One travel portal

You can also redeem miles at a rate of 1 cent per mile when booking flights, hotels and rental cars through the Capital One travel portal . However, if you book paid travel through the Capital One travel portal with your Capital One card that earns transferable miles, you can earn as follows:

• Venture X and Venture X Business : 10 miles per dollar on hotels and rental cars and 5 miles per dollar on flights booked through Capital One Travel
• Venture, VentureOne, VentureOne for Good Credit, Spark Miles and Spark Miles Select : 5 miles per dollar on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel

As such, I recommend booking paid rates instead of redeeming Capital One miles when you book travel through the Capital One travel portal. Even if you want to redeem miles for your flight, hotel or car rental booking, you'll often be better off using miles to cover recent travel purchases instead of redeeming when booking through the travel portal.

Related: Should you transfer Capital One miles to partners or redeem directly for travel?

Cover travel purchases

You can redeem Capital One miles to cover recent travel purchases made with your card. Capital One says eligible travel purchases usually include those you make with "airlines, hotels, rail lines, car rental agencies, limousine services, bus lines, cruise lines, taxi cabs, travel agents and time shares." However, whether a specific purchase is eligible depends on the merchant category code attached to the purchase.

You'll see any eligible purchases — which are travel purchases posted to your account in the last 90 days — listed in your online account when you click "Cover travel purchases."

You can opt to cover the entire purchase if you have enough miles. Or, you can use miles to cover just part of the purchase. Either way, your miles are worth 1 cent each when you redeem them to cover recent travel purchases.

Other ways to redeem Capital One miles

As you might have noticed in the screenshot above, cardholders have several other ways to redeem Capital One miles. Most of these other redemption options offer lower redemption values, so we don't generally recommend using them. But here's an overview of your other redemption options:

• Redeem for experiences : You can redeem miles for sports and concert tickets through Capital One Entertainment, usually at a redemption rate of 0.8 cents per mile.
• Get gift cards : You can redeem miles for gift cards, usually at a redemption rate of 0.8 to 1.067 cents per mile.
• Redeem for cash : You can request a statement credit or a check to your address at a redemption rate of 1 cent per mile.
• Redeem with PayPal : You can apply miles when checking out with PayPal at a redemption rate of 0.8 cents per mile.
• Shop with Amazon : You can apply miles at checkout for your Amazon.com orders at a redemption rate of 0.8 cents per mile.

As you can see, there are many ways to redeem Capital One miles for at least 1 cent each. So, there will rarely be a reason to redeem Capital One miles for anything less than 1 cent each.

Bottom line

When traveling overseas, I often use the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card as my everyday spending card. It doesn't charge foreign transaction fees, I know I'll earn at least 2 miles per dollar on all purchases, and I rarely have issues using it. But, I also generally find it useful to have access to Capital One miles when booking award flights. So, I'm always happy to earn more Capital One miles on my everyday purchases.

Now that you know how to earn and redeem Capital One miles, I expect you may also understand their value — especially if you transfer your miles to airline or hotel partners.
