[[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/capital-one-venture-x-business-welcome-bonus/) - The Venture X Business card has a $395 annual fee. [[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/capital-one-venture-x-business-welcome-bonus/) - The limited-time offer lets new cardholders earn 150,000 bonus miles after spending $40,000 on purchases in the first four months of account opening. [[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/capital-one-venture-x-business-welcome-bonus/) ## Two issuers, different strengths The Capital One Venture X Business card asks for $40,000 in spending in the first four months before it pays its 150,000 bonus miles, a bar that is too high for many business owners. [[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/capital-one-venture-x-business-welcome-bonus/) If you run a business and want rewards on travel, that number shapes which card you can realistically use. [[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/capital-one-venture-x-business-welcome-bonus/) Both Capital One and Chase offer business cards that can earn and redeem rewards for business travel, but their strengths are not the same. [[2]](https://thepointsguy.com/credit-cards/capital-one-vs-chase-business-travel/) Each issuer has a premium travel business card alongside a more affordable option. [[2]](https://thepointsguy.com/credit-cards/capital-one-vs-chase-business-travel/) One issuer offers consistent rewards on all purchases and straightforward redemptions. [[2]](https://thepointsguy.com/credit-cards/capital-one-vs-chase-business-travel/) The other provides higher earning rates in select categories and more flexible travel credits. [[2]](https://thepointsguy.com/credit-cards/capital-one-vs-chase-business-travel/) ## The Venture X Business card The Venture X Business card has a $395 annual fee. [[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/capital-one-venture-x-business-welcome-bonus/) It earns unlimited 2X miles on every purchase, with no limits or category restrictions. [[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/capital-one-venture-x-business-welcome-bonus/) It earns 10X miles on hotels and rental cars and 5X miles on flights and vacation rentals booked through Capital One Business Travel. [[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/capital-one-venture-x-business-welcome-bonus/) Cardholders also get an annual $300 credit for bookings through Capital One Business Travel and 10,000 bonus miles after every card anniversary. [[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/capital-one-venture-x-business-welcome-bonus/) The card offers unlimited complimentary access to 1,300+ airport lounges, including Capital One Lounge and Landing locations. [[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/capital-one-venture-x-business-welcome-bonus/) Capital One miles can be redeemed at 1 cent each toward travel booked through Capital One Business Travel or used to offset eligible travel purchases. [[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/capital-one-venture-x-business-welcome-bonus/) ## The welcome offer The limited-time offer lets new cardholders earn 150,000 bonus miles after spending $40,000 on purchases in the first four months of account opening. [[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/capital-one-venture-x-business-welcome-bonus/) An additional 150,000 bonus miles and $1,000 in Capital One Business Travel credits are available in the first cardholder year after spending $120,000 in the same four months. [[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/capital-one-venture-x-business-welcome-bonus/) ## The cheaper Capital One options The Capital One Venture Business card has a $95 annual fee and welcome offers worth $1,000+ with smaller minimum spending requirements than the Venture X Business offer. [[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/capital-one-venture-x-business-welcome-bonus/) It comes with up to $100 in annual credits, including a $50 Capital One Business Travel credit each year and a $50 credit for eligible advertising and software purchases. [[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/capital-one-venture-x-business-welcome-bonus/) The Capital One Venture Rewards card also has a $95 annual fee. [[3]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/chase-sapphire-preferred-vs-capital-one-venture/) It offers a $300 Capital One Travel stays credit plus 75,000 bonus miles after spending $4,000 on purchases within the first 3 months of account opening. [[3]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/chase-sapphire-preferred-vs-capital-one-venture/) It earns unlimited 2X miles on every purchase and 5X miles on hotels, vacation rentals and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel. [[3]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/chase-sapphire-preferred-vs-capital-one-venture/) It lacks ongoing travel benefits such as statement credits or lounge access. [[3]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/chase-sapphire-preferred-vs-capital-one-venture/) ## The Chase side The Chase Sapphire Preferred has a $95 annual fee. [[3]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/chase-sapphire-preferred-vs-capital-one-venture/) New cardholders earn 75,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening, a bonus worth at least $750 when redeemed through Chase Travel.

[[3]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/chase-sapphire-preferred-vs-capital-one-venture/) Spending $4,750 on general travel each year would cover its annual fee. [[3]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/chase-sapphire-preferred-vs-capital-one-venture/) At the premium end, Chase Sapphire Reserve has fees of up to $795 or more. [[3]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/chase-sapphire-preferred-vs-capital-one-venture/) ## How the premium cards and points compare Premium cards from both issuers include airport lounge access, travel credits and elite status perks, but differ in guest policies and credit flexibility. [[2]](https://thepointsguy.com/credit-cards/capital-one-vs-chase-business-travel/) Bonus category earnings may be capped annually on some cards, while others offer unlimited base rewards. [[2]](https://thepointsguy.com/credit-cards/capital-one-vs-chase-business-travel/) One program's points are valued at 2.05 cents each and the other's at 1.85 cents each as of October 2026 per TPG's valuations. [[2]](https://thepointsguy.com/credit-cards/capital-one-vs-chase-business-travel/) ## What this means for you If you cannot reach $40,000 in spending within four months, the Venture X Business welcome offer is hard to access. [[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/capital-one-venture-x-business-welcome-bonus/) The Capital One Venture Business card has welcome offers worth $1,000+ with smaller minimum spending requirements and a $95 annual fee. [[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/capital-one-venture-x-business-welcome-bonus/) If you want one rate on everything, the Venture X Business card earns unlimited 2X miles on every purchase. [[1]](https://www.cnbc.com/select/capital-one-venture-x-business-welcome-bonus/) When you compare cards, check whether bonus category earnings are capped annually, since some cards cap them and others offer unlimited base rewards. [[2]](https://thepointsguy.com/credit-cards/capital-one-vs-chase-business-travel/) On the Chase Sapphire Preferred, $4,750 of general travel spending in a year covers the $95 fee.
