Orbitz Re-Launches Credit Card, This Time with Capital One
June 4, 2008 By Seth Harbison
Online travel site Orbitz has re-launched its co-branded credit card, partnering with Capital One in an attempt to create the longest credit card name in history — the Orbitz Visa Credit Card powered by Capital One No Hassle Rewards.
The Orbitz Visa (for short) offers 3 points per dollar on most travel purchases via Orbitz.com, and 1 point per dollar on card purchases anywhere else. The card also offers 2,000 bonus points for booking complete vacations via Orbitz, 1,000 bonus points for booking hotels via Orbitz and a 500-point bonus on airline ticket purchases. Points can be used for free or discount travel, cash back, gift cards or merchandise.
In a neat twist, cardholders also get a 250-point “refueling” bonus every time they redeem their existing reward points, so the point balance never goes down to zero.
Prior to its new launch with Capital One, Orbitz had offered a MasterCard in partnership with Juniper Bank/Barclays.
