- Phone: Call +1 844-422-6922 and say “cancel my service”. Expect a retention pitch, decline it twice and hold firm.
- Email: Capital One Travel doesn’t process cancellations by email. Still worth sending one: it dates your cancellation request in writing, which matters for disputes and refunds.
Timing matters: Flights: penalty-free cancellation may be available within 24 hours of booking, by phone only (844-422-6922). The flight Cancel for Any Reason add-on must be used at least 24 hours before departure. The hotel version must be used before the check-in time on your confirmation. Hotel bookings must be cancelled through Capital One Travel, not the hotel. Price-match claims must be made within 24 hours of booking. Allow 48 hours for cancellations to be processed and confirmed by email.
The email that backs it up
Capital One Travel won’t action a cancellation from an email alone, use the fastest channel above for the cancellation itself. This email still earns its place: it puts your cancellation date in writing (your evidence if they keep billing) and it’s where the refund request happens.

Subject:
Cancellation Request, [your account email]Send this template
Hi Capital One Travel team, I'm writing to cancel the subscription on my account, [your account email]. Please treat this as formal notice of cancellation, effective from the end of the current billing period. Under the FTC's Click-to-Cancel rule, cancellation must be available through a channel as simple as the one I signed up through. Please confirm by reply that the subscription has been cancelled and that no further charges will be taken. If your policy allows it, I'd also appreciate a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of the current period. Best, [your name]
Wait for confirmation
Wait 24 hours. If there's no response, send a polite one-line follow-up referencing the original request.
What happens to what you’ve already paid
Capital One Travel is a booking portal, not a subscription, so refunds depend on the booking. For flights, the airline decides whether you get a refund, and Capital One Travel only processes cancellations the airline approves. You can often cancel without penalty within 24 hours of booking by calling 844-422-6922, and a non-refundable fare usually turns into an airline credit. For hotels, non-refundable rooms are charged in full, and refundable ones must be cancelled through Capital One Travel, not the hotel, or you risk losing the refund. Approved refunds go back to the original payment method, and bookings paid partly in miles are refunded proportionally. Price-match refunds and Cancel for Any Reason add-ons follow their own rules: price-match money comes back as travel credit, and the flight add-on refunds about 80%.
“Hotel rooms are NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-CHANGEABLE unless permitted by the terms of the room/rate description.”

Does Capital One Travel charge a cancellation fee?
We found no cancellation fee in Capital One Travel’s published terms. On a rolling plan you simply pay to the end of the current billing period and nothing after. If you’re inside a fixed minimum term, check your signup email for the end date, cancelling early is where fees usually hide.
What doesn’t work for cancelling Capital One Travel
Based on 6 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.
- ✕ Cancelling a Capital One Travel hotel booking directly with the hotel, The terms say cancellations or changes handled by the hotel directly may lead to extra fees or the loss of any refund due. Bookings with the hotel Cancel for Any Reason add-on can't be cancelled through the hotel at all.
- ✕ Calling 'Capital One Travel' numbers found on forum and SEO pages (e.g. 1-888-620-4018, 1-866-585-8270, 1-855-743-8010, 1-855-628-4230), None of these numbers appear on Capital One's own pages. Capital One's help center and terms list only 844-422-6922 for Capital One Travel. These spam-style pages look like third-party call-center traps.
- ✕ Emailing Capital One Travel support to cancel, Capital One doesn't offer a customer-service email address. The only travel-labelled address in circulation (dmca@capitalone.com) is a legal/DMCA inbox. Cancellations go through My Trips or 844-422-6922.
- ✕ Asking Capital One Travel to change your hotel dates, Capital One Travel can't change hotel bookings because of its contracts with hotels. A refundable booking has to be cancelled and rebooked, and that depends on availability and any hotel fees.
- ✕ Demanding a cash refund for a non-refundable fare you cancelled voluntarily, Flight refunds are always up to the airline, so a voluntary cancellation of a non-refundable fare usually becomes an airline travel credit, not cash.
- ✕ Claiming a price match more than 24 hours after booking, The cheaper itinerary must exactly match a booking made within the last 24 hours and be priced in USD. Even then, the difference comes back as Capital One Travel credit.
Cancelled Capital One Travel but still being charged?
Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:
- The cancellation didn’t actually complete. If you never received a written confirmation from Capital One Travel, treat it as not cancelled. Email
webinfo@capitalone.comreferencing your original request date and ask for written confirmation plus a refund of any charge taken since. - You cancelled in the wrong place. Subscriptions started through the App Store or Google Play bill through Apple or Google, cancelling on Capital One Travel’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
- Billing lag. A charge that was already in flight when you cancelled can still land a few days later. One trailing charge can be normal; two is not.
If they keep charging after a confirmed cancellation, that’s chargeback territory: dispute the charge with your bank citing “subscription cancelled, merchant continued billing”. The yoink app also flags this automatically, it keeps watching your inbox after a confirmed cancellation and alerts you if Capital One Travel charges again.
How Capital One Travel will try to keep you
Capital One Travel may respond with a retention offer, a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.
They’ll say: “Offering an airline travel credit instead of a refund after the airline cancelled or significantly changed the flight”

They’ll say: “'We can only process cancellations the airline authorizes' (deflecting to the airline)”
You say: Please record in my booking file that I asked for a cancellation and refund on [date], and send me a reference number. Capital One Travel sold me this ticket, so please contact the airline on my behalf and confirm in writing when the refund is approved.
They’ll say: “Steering you to the Cancel for Any Reason airline credit (100% value) instead of the ~80% cash refund”
You say: I'd like the Cancel for Any Reason cash refund to my original payment method, not an airline credit. Please confirm the exact refund amount and the date it will post.
They’ll say: “Phone agents giving inconsistent answers and no paper trail”

Worldwide
- Card-issuer chargebackYour bank can reverse the charge.
Visa, Mastercard, and Amex all run chargeback schemes, “goods/services not as described” or “subscription not cancelled” are valid reason codes everywhere they operate. Your bank handles the dispute; Capital One Travel has ~45 days to defend.
Delete your Capital One Travel account (not just cancel)
Cancelling stops the billing; deleting removes your account and personal data. Do them in that order, deleting an account with an active subscription can leave the billing running with no way to log in and stop it.
If there’s no delete option in Capital One Travel’s account settings, email webinfo@capitalone.com with the subject Account deletion request, [your account email] and ask for your account and personal data to be erased under state privacy laws such as the CCPA. They’re typically required to act on it, most companies complete erasure within about 30 days, and you should ask for written confirmation when it’s done.
