Compare the Features and Benefits of Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card and
Chase Ink Business Premier℠ Credit Card

With the ability to transfer miles to travel partners or use miles to cover the cost of whatever travel charges you wish — along with a simple rewards structure — the Venture card is a great $95 annual fee option that has only improved its value proposition and perks over the years. On the earnings front, Capital One miles are pretty much as easy as it gets. You’ll earn rewards at a rate of 2X miles per dollar spent on pretty much everything, with 5X miles per dollar spent on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel.

The redemption process is similar to other programs, such as Amex Membership Rewards and Chase Ultimate Rewards, with transferable points often providing a higher value for your travel rewards. Some high-value ways to use Capital One Venture miles include redeeming with Air Canada Aeroplan, Turkish Miles & Smiles, and Virgin Red (redeem miles for Virgin Voyages and Virgin Atlantic). For simplicity’s sake, you can also book travel however you want, then redeem miles for a statement credit for some or all of the cost. Miles are worth a flat 1 cent apiece when redeemed this way — and there’s no minimum redemption amount.

On top of all of that, there’s a decent array of travel and purchase protections (although it’s not as robust as the flagship $395-per-year annual fee Capital One Venture X Rewards credit card). Finally, you’ll get reimbursed for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck, up to $120, every four years.

The Ink Business Premier credit card from Chase fits a specific target audience.

The businesses best suited for this card spend a very high amount monthly and want to simplify their spending. Especially if you have frequent charges over $5,000, that annual fee is paid for many times over by the extra 1/2 percent earned in cash back.

While it’s easy to get caught up in miles and points, if you are spending and earning more points than you can realistically spend, it’s not at all a bad idea.

However, if you want to earn transferable points, you would be better served by a Capital One Spark Cash Select. Alone, the Spark Cash is also just straight cash, but if you have a Venture, Venture X, or Spark Miles for Business card, you can convert the cash to miles.

If that’s not a concern, then the Chase Ink Business Premier is easily the very best business charge card out there. No other credit card or charge card will get you more cash back on purchases.

Many small business owners spend a ton on inventory monthly and could be earning huge amounts of cashback, but don’t have time to learn about miles and points. This business card is perfect for those small business owners. If purchases tend to be large purchases over $5,000 (which earn 2.5%) it becomes even better.
