Compare the Features and Benefits of Capital One Spark Cash Plus and
Amazon Prime Visa

The Capital One Spark Cash Plus replaced the older Spark Cash business card, with the primary difference being that the Spark Cash Plus is a charge card. The charge card features means that the Capital One Spark Cash Plus can be more easily used for bigger purchases and by companies with very high monthly spend, without bumping up against a credit limit for your business expenses. The card is issued as a Visa.

You earn 2% cash back on all eligible purchases, plus 5% when you book hotels and rental cars through the Capital One Travel Portal.

If you have a separate credit card that earns Capital One Miles, like the Venture X, Venture, VentureOne, or Spark Miles, you can transfer your cash from the Capital One Spark Cash Plus to those cards, making them Capital One Miles – transferable to airline and hotel partners. $10 = 1,000 Miles.

This card is also featured in Which Capital One Business Cards Report to Personal Credit (Count Towards 5/24)? and in the article Business Credit Cards That Don’t Report to Personal Credit Bureaus.

As much as we love rewards credit cards with transferable bank points, for heavy Amazon or Whole Foods shoppers, it’s hard to deny that 5% cash back on all of these purchases with the Prime Visa (as long as you have an eligible Amazon Prime membership!) is pretty awesome.

I know some people that do absolutely all of their grocery shopping at Whole Foods and as much shopping as possible at Amazon. If this is you, the Prime Visa credit card is probably a no brainer, especially with no annual fee, no foreign transaction fees, and a wide range of consumer protections like extended warranty, purchase protection (which covers your new purchases for 120 days against damage or theft up to $500 per claim and $50,000 per account) and trip protections, although note that the trip protections aren’t nearly as rich as on many travel specific credit cards.

As a reminder, you’ll earn an unlimited 5% back at Amazon.com, Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Market, and on Chase Travel purchases with an eligible Prime membership and an unlimited 2% back at gas stations, restaurants, and on local transit and commuting (including rideshare).

You’ll earn ah unlimited 1% back on all other purchases, so you may want to combo this card with a card that earns 2% back on categories not bonused on this card.
