Hopefully you have some travel in the near future and are looking to book a tour, an activity, an airport transfer or theme park tickets, but if not, just stop what you're doing and check your Capital One Shopping account right now. A rare, high offer is here that could result in a substantial amount of cash in your pocket or a lot of bonus miles on top of the miles you already planned to earn.

The reward: 40% cash back or 40x bonus miles for bookings via Klook, one of the leading travel experiences websites. This is one of the better limited-time promotions that have been seen on Capital One Shopping recently, and for regular Klook users or those with a trip in mind that has activities planned, it's a great one.

There's always a catch, though, and these offers usually are one-day deals. Sprint or miss the shot!

In this section, learners will discover what Klook is and why this is important

Klook is not a company you've never heard of before, it is a travel experiences and activities platform that specializes in travel experiences across Asia (including but not limited to Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Hong Kong and beyond) but that also covers destinations around the world. It's similar to Viator and has a range of items from luxurious airport transfers and sightseeing passes to attraction tickets, sim cards, renting Wi-Fi, day tours, and cultural activities.

In Japan, travelers are especially turning to Klook for its extensive offers, no frills user interfaces and competitive pricing for many activities. If you add 40% back or 40x miles on top of those bookings, then you are taking an already great platform and making it great for one day.

The Two Versions of the Offer with a brief explanation on how they work

The offer is split into two groups, depending on what kind of Capital One account you hold, but, again, you don't have to have a Capital One credit card to participate. Everyone can join Capital One Shopping, a free browser extension and cash back site, and the 40% cash back version of this deal is available to virtually any traveler, irrespective of what cards they have in their wallet.

Here's the breakdown:

• Capital One cardholders (Venture, Venture X, etc): The offer is listed as 40x bonus miles for eligible activity spending on Klook which is an amazing earning rate on activity spending, and is one of the highest per dollar miles you can earn for activity spending, anywhere!
• For all non-miles cardholders or those with a Capital One Shopping account, the offer offers 40% cash back up to $1,000 cash back; cash back is credited to a Capital One Shopping account and can then be used to redeem gift cards and other offers on the Capital One Shopping platform.

Both versions are targeted, which is to say, not all of the accounts will be targeted with the same offer. The easiest way to find it is to go to the top offers section on the home page of the Capital One Shopping website, instead of searching for Klook directly, where you might only see the basic 5% back rate, which is the default rate and not the higher rate.

A Few Things That Don't Qualify

This higher earning rate is available for most of Klook's offerings but there are a few categories that do not qualify for the bonus. The 40% back and 40x miles do not apply to lists like Best Food & Must Eats, or to Disneyland tickets for Tokyo Disneyland or DisneySea, or to purchases of the JR Pass or tickets for Hong Kong Disneyland. However, Japan travelers weighing their options have a chance to enjoy the Universal Studios Japan.

The exclusions are limited in most tours and the majority of a typical Klook booking session will be considered to meet the higher rate. All transfers, city passes and cultural visits, day trips and Disney and JR outside attraction tickets are all included.

Making the most of a one-day window

The simple strategy: If you have any Klook bookings in the works, whether that's a trip you'd like to take soon or one you've been planning for months, now is the time to book it up if you can. Many activities can be booked in advance on Klook, so there is no need for the activity to occur right now. All you have to do is make the transaction during the period of the offer.

This is a very high paying opportunity, especially for travelers to Japan. A total of the value of the activities that Klook offers when booked as a full trip in a single booking can be a significant return on what was already budgeted for the airport transfer, Osaka day trip, Kyoto cultural experiences, and Tokyo attraction passes all at 40% back or 40x miles.

Capital One Shopping is beneficial in any event, and here's the reason

Capital One Shopping is a free service that can generate passive rewards on purchases from hundreds of retailers, even if you're not shopping on elevated stores like this. Capital One Shopping can earn rewards passively via purchases at hundreds of retailers, and it doesn't require changing your shopping habits. Luckily, there's a section for offers on the elevated, and that's the habit that will uncover these offers before they expire the offers that do not appear there are not the real deals.

The 40x miles version of this offer is particularly enticing for Capital One Venture or Venture X cardholders. Capital One miles are transferable and flexible with a huge number of airline partners it's not a significant portfolio builder with a single transaction session in just a few days, when you are spending on activity, which earns miles at base rates.
