As major credit card companies upgrade their travel footprints, vacation rentals have become a must-have.
Capital One Travel has introduced upscale vacation rentals in a launch Tuesday through partnerships with Boutiq and AvantStay. A CapitalOne spokesperson said the company will bring on Inspirato and Key.co as inventory providers later this year.
Capital One is an investor in both AvantStay and Inspirato.
This is the first time Capital One Travel, which is powered by Hopper, has offered vacation rentals, and they are only available to its Venture X, Venture X Business, Venture and Spark Miles cardholders.
The vacation rentals — exclusively in the U.S. for now — can be booked through Capital One Travel's Premier Collection and Lifesty
