The “No Hassle Points” program is one of three of Capital One’s credit card rewards program. It really is true to its name, in that it is one of the most simple rewards cards programs out there. It may not be the most profitable; every $1 you spend on your Capital One card is worth one point. There are some opportunities to earn bonus points (up to 10X for every dollar you spend with your Capital One card), by shopping through the Capital One store or by shopping at select retailers who offer bonus rewards.
