Capital One Venture X Business
Our ratings are determined by the authors and editors on our team. Each individual card feature is compared against all other cards we offer and the total score is an average of those 4 ratings.
Bonus Offer
150,000 Miles once you spend $30,000 in the first 3 months from account opening
Bonus points for spend in the following bonus categories:
Only applies to bookings made via the Capital One Portal; Earn 2X otherwise.
Only applies to bookings made via the Capital One Portal; Earn 2X otherwise.
Only applies to bookings made via the Capital One Portal; Earn 2X otherwise.
- With a $300 annual travel credit and 10,000 miles (worth $100) each year at renewal, the credits you receive are actually worth more than the annual fee.
- Free authorized user cards where the authorized user gets full airport lounge access of their own is unheard of.
- No Preset Spending Limit; Earns Capital One Miles
Pros
- The annual fee is more than covered by annual credits
- Comes with access to Capital One lounges, Priority Pass lounges, Plaza Premium lounges - all with generous guest policies
- Free authorized users also get the same airport lounge access benefits and Hertz status as the primary card holder
- No Preset Spending Limit
Cons
- The annual fee, while effectively negative $5 after credits, can feel like a lot.
- Aside from bonus points for booking through Capital One travel, there are no bonus categories. Still, all eligible purchases do earn 2X miles per dollar spent which is great.
- Points don't transfer to any domestic airlines, although you can use other partners to book domestic award tickets on domestic airlines.
It's worth noting that some Capital One cards earn 2 miles per dollar on everything, making the 1.6 cent per mile value an understatement as you'd be earning a 3.2% yield on every day spend. However, this assumes you will learn how to utilize the Capital One airline and hotel transfer partners, most of which transfer 1:1. The minimum value is 1 cent when used to book travel in their portal or to cover previously paid for travel, however, our calculator assumes you will use Capital One's air and hotel transfer partners when calculating a 1.6 cent per point value. We also have a Guide to Capital One Miles.

Instant Transfers as well as solid transfer partners. The value would go up if they had any hotel partners with a fair exchange rate. ANA (an exception to instant transfers), Virgin, Air Canada and Avianca are top airline partners for maximizing your points. They can also transfer to Delta if you wish and while the rates aren't ideal, they can transfer to Marriott and Hilton as well. ANA provides almost unbeatable value for booking a Round the World flight all in Business Class. The stated value also assumes you will take advantage of transfer partners rather than book via their booking portal, where they are only worth between 1 and 1.5 cents. We've also created a Guide to American Express Membership Rewards.

Aeroplan does not pass along any fuel surcharges, making this a great program for Star Alliance flights. Two huge additional benefits are a stopover on your trip for just 5,000 miles and a lap infant (under 2) is just $25 CAD. One small negative is that they do have fees for cancelling an award ticket.

Cons
- High $695 annual fee (Rates and Fees) that will require a bit of work to fully maximize.

- Card membership includes the very well regarded American Express customer service
Cons
- The high annual fee, despite being worth it for high spenders

- Charge card allows for high spending limits to fit your business needs
- 2.5% Cash Back on purchases over $5,000 is a stellar rebate on spend
- Earns Cash Back rather than transferable points.
Pros
- There is no other charge card on the market that offers 2.5% on charges over $5,000 with no monthly or annual limit.
- A flexible spending limit makes it a great choice for heavy spenders; rare on a small business card.
- Primary car rental Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) can be a huge benefit when on the road. This means your personal insurance won't have to get involved for damage to your rental car. (Note that it does not provide liability insurance or coverage for any other car you may be in a collision with.)
Cons
- The Chase Ultimate Rewards points earned with the Ink Business Premier are pure cash back with no option to transfer the points to other Chase small business credit cards (Ink) or Chase Sapphire cards or to airline and hotel transfer partners. This differs from all other Chase Ink credit cards.
- Relatively high annual fee.
- Lack of travel benefits like a Global Entry application fee credit, though you likely have that on another credit card.
When a card earns cash back, it has a value in our calculator of $0.01, just as you'd expect! 😉

- We really can't think of a third!
Since Hilton moved to a variable pricing model, on average you'll be offered roughly a 0.5 cent value per point. What is nice is that although the pricing is mostly variable, they still cap the "standard" redemption rate on all properties. With the 5th night free on all award stays and resort fees waived on award stays, it's very possible to well exceed this value - even getting 1-2 cents per point - when used wisely.

- Companion certificate that you'll receive every year upon card membership renewal, and it's even valid for First Class
- Ability to spend your way towards Delta Medallion status
Cons

Delta uses a fully dynamic pricing model on most awards, with the program aiming to offer you about 1.1 to 1.2 cents per point. However, you can still occasionally get much more value, especially during SkyMiles Flash Sales. Note that while you can book SkyTeam alliance flights with Delta SkyMiles, you cannot book international First Class on any SkyMiles partner.
