BRIGHTLINE TEAMS UP WITH CAPITAL ONE TO CREATE COMPANY’S FIRST CREDIT CARD AFFILIATE PROGRAM

Miami, FL (August 20, 2025) – Brightline, the only modern, eco-friendly intercity rail in America, is proud to announce a partnership with Capital One, marking the launch of its first-ever credit card affiliate collaboration. This kicks off in August 2025 with a bold, multi-channel campaign designed to elevate the travel experience and reimagine how brands connect with today’s mobile consumer.

 

At the heart of this partnership is a shared vision: Brightline’s commitment to creating a brighter way to travel and Capital One’s mission to revolutionize the financial industry through innovation and customer-first experiences. Together, both companies are leaning into how finance and travel can intersect in customer forward ways.

 

The initiative will spotlight the Capital One Venture, VentureOne and Venture X cards. These cards are specifically tailored for travelers who crave flexibility and rewards, and their offerings align seamlessly with the needs of Brightline customers. Guests will encounter Capital One’s Venture Suite across digital platforms, select stations, and onboard environments.

 

“This collaboration brings together two forward-thinking brands that are reshaping their industries,” said Barbara Drahl, Senior Vice President of Marketing & Commercial Strategy at Brightline. “Capital One’s bold, customer-centric approach aligns perfectly with our mission to redefine modern transportation and connect communities across Florida in smarter, more inspiring ways.”

 

Whether it’s a vibrant station activation or a curated onboard experience, this partnership reflects a shared belief in doing things differently—and doing them better. Together, Brightline and Capital One are creating a movement toward a brighter, more connected future.

 

The Capital One affiliate program kicks off August 20, 2025 just in time for the busy fall travel, back-to-school and college football season.
