card_name Card Benefits

card_name is a strong card offering numerous benefits for your business. The majority of these benefits center on travel.

In addition to the eye-popping welcome bonus, you can earn 5X miles on flights and 10X miles on car rentals and hotel stays booked through Capital One Travel. You earn 2X miles on all other purchases.

What does this translate to in terms of rewards? If you were to spend $4,000 a month on flights, $3,000 a month on hotel stays and another $2,000 on car rentals, you would earn 70,000 miles a month. That would be worth $700 when redeemed for travel-related expenses through Capital One Travel. Over the course of a year with those same habits, you would earn 840,000 miles, worth $8,400 in travel.

Beyond what you earn, you will also receive 10,000 bonus miles each year on your card anniversary and a $300 annual credit for travel booked through Capital One Travel.

Capital One Travel offers a few features designed to save cardholders money. These include price drop protection, price alerts and a price match guarantee. With the latter, if you find a lower price offered on another site, Capital One Travel will match it.

Card membership also comes with unlimited free access to Capital One and Priority Pass lounge access for you and guests at airports around the world. In addition, you receive up to $100 in statement credits for your TSA PreCheck or Global Entry application fee.

Additional benefits include:

• No pre-set spending limits
• No foreign transaction fees
• Free additional cards and virtual cards for employees
• The flexibility to transfer your miles to Capital One travel partners, including Air Canada, British Airways and Virgin Red
• Cell phone protection up to $600 per claim

What are the potential downsides of the card_name Card ?

• Like most premium cards, card_name requires an excellent credit score for approval, though, other factors may also be considered.
• The annual_fees annual fee can be off-putting, but its easily covered by the welcome bonus, the annual travel credit, annual bonus miles and other perks.
• You need to remember that this card is not a credit card, it's a charge card. You are expected to pay your balance, in full, at the end of each billing cycle. This is important to note for budgeting purposes. See Rates and Fees

How does the card_name card compare to other business cards?

card_name card vs. card_name

discontinued_disclaimer

While card_name offers a higher welcome offer of 150,000 bonus miles once you spend $30,000 in the first three months from account opening, the card_name bonus of 100,000 is more easily attainable, requiring just $8,000 in spending over the first three months of account membership.

card_name offers a higher standard rewards rate (2X miles to 1X points) and card_name cannot match the 5X miles on flights and 10X miles on car rentals and hotel stays offered by Capital One. That said, the card_name does offer 3X points on the first $150,000 spent on travel, shipping, advertising, internet, cable and cell services.

card_name also doesn't offer the same travel-related perks as Capital One such as airport lounge access and reimbursement for a TSA PreCheck or Global Entry application fee. However, accrued points are worth 25% more when redeemed through Chase Ultimate Rewards. That means the welcome bonus of 100,000 miles can be worth as much as $1,250 towards travel.

Finally, the card_name annual fee is much more manageable at annual_fees.

While card_name is a charge card, the card_name is a hybrid. Purchases of under $100 must be "Paid in Full" each month, like a charge card. Purchases of $100 or more are eligible to be "Paid over Time," like a credit card, with a starting interest rate of reg_apr,reg_apr_type.

card_name offers a similar welcome bonus, though it is somewhat easier to attain. You can earn 150,000 reward points if you spend $20,000 in the first three months after your card is issued.

card_name matches card_name with 5X rewards points earned on flights (booked on AmexTravel.com), but only offers that same rate on hotels  (booked on AmexTravel.com), compared to the 10X miles on car rentals and hotel stays the card_name can earn on bookings made through Capital One Travel.

card_name also offers 1.5X points on eligible U.S. construction materials, hardware supplies, at electronic goods retailers, on software and cloud systems, and at shipping providers, as well as on purchases of $5,000 or more everywhere else, on up to two million of these purchases per calendar year. All other eligible purchases earn 1X point.

When it comes to the annual fee, the annual_fees charged by card_name is steep. American Express is a CardRatings advertiser.

card_name is the less glamorous sister card of the AMEX Business Platinum (see above), with a lower annual fee  of annual_fees, but also a less robust rewards rate and welcome offer.

The biggest difference between card_name and card_name is the structure and complexity of the rewards programs. While card_name has a straightforward and easy-to-understand program (outlined above), the program offered by card_name is a little more complicated and difficult to take full advantage of.

card_name has a more modest welcome bonus of 70,000 points when you spend $10,000 in the first three months after your card is issued. As far as ongoing rewards go, cardholders earn 4X membership points in the two categories where your business spends the most each billing cycle from six eligible categories. While your top two categories may change, you will earn 4X points on the first $150,000 in combined purchases from these categories each calendar year (then 1X thereafter). Only the top two categories in each billing cycle will count towards the $150,000 cap. Additionally, earn 3x Membership Rewards points on flights and prepaid hotels booked on amextravel.com using your Business Gold card. For the right cardholder, there’s a lot of value to be had here, but clearly it’s a bit more complicated than the rewards offering you get with the Venture card.

Like its sister card, card_name is a hybrid card. Purchases under $100 must be paid in full, like a charge card, while purchases in excess of $100 can be paid over time, like a credit card.

Is the card_name card worth it?

When it comes to the card_name, it's all about your company's level of spending and amount of travel. This card is not for everyone. The annual fee is hefty, but it can be easily covered if your spending and travel habits allow you to take full advantage of the Venture Miles rewards program. If they do, then the convenience, simplicity and lucrative rewards of the card_name card make it a powerful addition to your corporate wallet.
