Compare the Features and Benefits of Capital One Spark Cash Plus and
Capital One Venture X Business

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.

The Capital One Venture X Business card is a very well rounded travel credit card that is easy to recommend to almost anyone, especially with No Preset Spending Limit – meaning that heavy business spenders will have an easier time.

The first objection is always the annual fee, but once you see that the $300 annual travel credit and 10,000 miles anniversary bonus (worth $100 or more) nets out the annual fee, it’s much easier to go and focus on the benefits.

If you consider the annual fee to effectively be -$5 as I do based on the above though process, then you are looking a a TON of benefits for a card where you aren’t out a ton on the annual fee with nothing in return.

You’re getting No Preset Spending Limit, Plaza Premium and Priority Pass lounge access, Capital One Lounges, Global Entry (or PreCheck) fee reimbursement, the ability to earn up to 10X miles on travel booked via Capital One, and cell phone protection.

See, that’s a mouthful! You would expect to be paying a massive annual fee for all of that (without credits that net it out) and in this case, you’re just not. Of course, you’ll still have to pay the $395 fee upfront, but you’ll also be able to get that early spend bonus. That offsets it nicely!

In our opinion, this card is simply one of the best travel business cards around in terms of both benefits and value for money.

And as icing on the cake, aside from the initial hard pull on your personal credit to qualify you for approval, it won’t report to your personal credit file as long as your account remains in good standing.
