Capital One Travel isn't seen as a luxury player like Amex and Chase, but adding Discover's cardholders significantly boosts its competitive position.
Capital One Travel began providing access to some Discover cardholders, a sign that the travel portal is poised to get a lot bigger.
Capital One, which acquired Discover Financial Services last May for $35 billion, has given some Discover cardholders access to Capital One benefits and features, including Capital One Travel, according to a source familiar with the integration efforts. These Discover cardholders have begun to service their accounts using the Capital One app and website, and their accounts are migrating to Capital One systems.
