Capital One rolled out a business version of its popular consumer/personal Venture X Rewards Credit Card.
Capital One Venture X Business
Capital One Venture X Business new cardholders can earn up to 400,000 bonus miles: earn 200,000 bonus miles once you spend $30,000 on eligible purchases within three (3) months of being approved for card membership. Then, earn an additional 200,000 bonus miles once you spend $150,000 on eligible purchases within six (6) months of being approved for card membership.
Points-earning and features-wise, it’s pretty much the same build as the Venture X Rewards Credit Card. It’s annual $395 — just like the Venture X consumer/personal card.
- Points Earnings:
- 10X miles on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One’s travel booking site
- 5X on flights booked through Capital One’s travel booking site
- 2X on all other eligible purchases
- $300 Statement Credit on Travel Purchases Booked Through Capital One Business Travel
- 10,000 Bonus Miles Each Anniversary Year
- Up to $120 in statement credit every four years for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck® application fees
- Premier Collection Hotels and Resorts Benefits
And this part is very important: charges must be paid off at the end of each billing cycle. Any outstanding balance is subject to a penalty fee. That’s a percentage of how much is currently on the card. You don’t want to do that.
Granted, we ideally pay our entire balance each month. Otherwise, the fees and interest can negate the travel benefits we enjoy. But life sometimes happens. And that can get expensive.
I love my Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card and use it for most non-bonused everyday spending (2X on each eligible purchase). Plus, it’s easy to earn back the annual fee — as it would be with this card, too.
Final Approach
Capital One now offers out a business version of its Venture X Rewards Credit Card. The welcome offer is huge — but so is the minimum spending requirement. Plus, this is a pay-your-balance-in-full card. If that’s a problem for you, don’t get it. (And consider not getting any credit cards.)

You forgot to say “Huge Spending Bonus”. My small engineering business does plenty of services but we do not have alot of expenses. I expect alot of small businesses are the same.
I think the ability to earn 2x points on vendors and utilities that don’t get hit by common bonus categories and doesn’t cap out at $50k makes this a great earner for a small business.
