[…] The idea that Capital One would be coming out with a Visa Infinite premium card in travel has been rumored – and expected – for some time. For my part, I’m glad they took the time to get it right and to align with the opening of their own airport lounge network, and the launch of their new travel portal. […]

Hopper has most recently pivoted from a travel company to a fintech company. If you look at their recent financing round, job listings, etc. all they talk about is how they can upsell consumers on paid services like insurance, price freezes, etc.

Their AI could certainly be used as a predictive tool to help consumers, and they certainly will push that angle, but what they are selling as the future of the company is these add-on services for an incremental fee, which, ostensibly, will be used to subsidize any of these “free” services they offer to the consumer.

Capital One is quite savvy and they will publicly talk about the consumer benefits, but as a shareholder in Hopper, and a beneficiary of any add-on sales made through their platform facilitated by Hopper, they are salivating at the opportunity to push these high-margin products to their customer base. Certainly, neither one of them is going to get rich off the airfare commissions.

The AI prediction is mostly BS. It’s mostly just programmed when AP requirements are about to expire and predicts the fare to go up.

Hopper has been around for 10+ years, raised $1B+ dollars, and has switched their business model numerous times over the years depending on what is hot (now they are on the AI train), yet I do not know a single person who has ever used them to book travel. The whole thing is very suspicious.

I too remain a skeptic
They are dishonest and criminal in business behavior equal or worse than Bank of America
And good luck to disputing something if it’s something they sold you
Remember when they offered a big sign up bonus years ago then devalued redemptions
Never returned
