If you\u2019re a traveler like me, chances are you\u2019re always on the lookout for ways to make your trips more affordable. That\u2019s why I collect points and miles: they help me lower my travel costs so I can spend my money on what\u2019s actually<\/em> important\u2026which is usually booking more trips!<\/p>\n

One card that can help you earn more points and miles \u2014 which translates to more free flights and free hotel stays \u2014 is the Capital One Venture Business card. It\u2019s an easy-to-use card perfect for travels who want to simplify their points and miles collecting. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the card to help decide if it\u2019s for you. It\u2019s a solid business card for those who don\u2019t want a high annaul fee card but want some added perks besides just getting miles when you spend money.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

What Is It?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Capital One Venture Business card is the new rebranded version of Capital One\u2019s Spark Miles. But it has some noteworthy improvements that I think make it worth adding to your wallet. Here\u2019s a look at the card\u2019s main perks:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • A welcome offer of up to to 150,000 miles<\/li>\n
  • Standard 2x miles on every purchase<\/li>\n
  • 5x miles on travel purchases (via their portal)<\/li>\n
  • $50 annual travel credit<\/li>\n
  • $50 annual statement credit<\/li>\n
  • Up to $120 for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck<\/li>\n
  • Hertz Five Star status<\/li>\n
  • No foreign transaction fees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The annual fee for the card is just $95, which means it\u2019s effectively free once you factor in the two statement credits. With a default 2x miles for every dollar spent, that makes this card a solid choice for everyday spending. And without a ton of differing spending categories, the card is very easy to use, making it perfect for travelers new to the points and miles game.<\/p>\n

    Rental Car Perks<\/span><\/h3>\n

    In addition to giving you Hertz Five Star status, which lets you skip the counter at select locations while also offering a wider selection of cars, the card also offers rental car coverage when renting a car for business reasons. You\u2019ll need to charge the full fee to your card and also decline the company\u2019s collision damage waiver, but once you do that, you\u2019ll be covered for damage due to both collisions and theft. <\/p>\n

    While I don\u2019t often rent cars for work, I appreciate the free collision coverage and being able to skip the line (especially at busier rental locations).<\/p>\n

    Travel Partners<\/span><\/h3>\n

    With this card, you\u2019ll earn Capital One miles. You can use them like you would any other rewards program: to get cash back, book travel directly, or transfer them to travel partners.<\/p>\n

    The easiest option is to redeem your miles for travel in the Capital One travel portal, which works like booking through Expedia or any other online travel agency. Doing so is very straightforward. You simply search for and book your flight, hotel, or rental car and choose \u201cmiles\u201d as your payment method. It\u2019s basically like using your miles as cash, at a value of one cent per mile. <\/p>\n

    Both options are super easy to implement, which is why this is a great card for newbies. And if this is the only way that you\u2019ll use your miles, go for it! Using them is better than letting them sit around. <\/p>\n

    However, you can usually get more for your miles when you transfer them to Capital One\u2019s transfer partners. <\/p>\n

    The ability to transfer to travel partners is what makes Capital One miles valuable. While the actual value varies based on what you book, you can usually find airline and hotel redemptions worth much more than the aforementioned 1 cent per mile.<\/p>\n

    Transferring to travel partners is a bit more work than using the portal, but there are more tools than ever to help you maximize your miles (such as point.me for finding flights and Awayz for finding award hotel stays).<\/p>\n

    Here are their current hotel and airline transfer partners:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Accor Live Limitless<\/li>\n
    • Aeromexico Rewards<\/li>\n
    • Air Canada Aeroplan<\/li>\n
    • Avianca Lifemiles<\/li>\n
    • British Airways Club<\/li>\n
    • Cathay Pacific Asia Miles<\/li>\n
    • Choice Privileges<\/li>\n
    • Emirates Skywards<\/li>\n
    • Etihad Guest<\/li>\n
    • EVA Air<\/li>\n
    • Finnair Plus<\/li>\n
    • Flying Blue<\/li>\n
    • I Prefer Hotel Rewards<\/li>\n
    • Japan Airlines Mileage Bank<\/li>\n
    • JetBlue TrueBlue<\/li>\n
    • Qantas Frequent Flyer<\/li>\n
    • Qatar Airways Privilege Club<\/li>\n
    • Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer<\/li>\n
    • TAP Miles&Go<\/li>\n
    • Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles<\/li>\n
    • Virgin Red<\/li>\n
    • Wyndham Rewards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Who Is This Card For?<\/span><\/h3>\n

      This card is best for business travelers who are looking for an easy-to-use card to help them earn points and miles. While I personally think the Capital One Venture X Business card is a better card, it comes with a higher annual fee so, if you want a solid travel card for your business and don\u2019t need the upgraded perks of the Venture X card, this is the Capital One card for you. And since the credits cover the annual fee, the card is essentially free!<\/p>\n

      ***<\/center> <\/p>\n

      The new Capital One Venture Business card has an amazing welcome offer, a respectable 2x on every purchase, and some solid perks for regular travelers. And with its low annual fee, this card is a no brainer for travelers looking for a new business card. I just wouldn\u2019t wait too long \u2014 this huge welcome offer isn\u2019t gonna last forever!<\/p>\n

        Book Your Flight<\/strong>
        Find a cheap flight by using Skyscanner. It\u2019s my favorite search engine because it searches websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is being left unturned. <\/p>\n

        Don\u2019t Forget Travel Insurance<\/strong>
        Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It\u2019s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I\u2019ve had to use it many times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:<\/p>\n
