FM Mini Review: This card is basically the same as the Spark Cash for Business, but rewards are intended to be used to offset travel purchases. One big advantage over cash back: Capital One allows transfering their "miles" to airline miles through many partners at a 1:1 or 2 to 1.5 ratio and "miles" can be combined with other cards or other customers.

Overview

It's rare to find a business rewards card with great rewards for all spend. This one offers 2 miles per dollar everywhere. Miles are worth 1 cent each when redeemed for travel. Simply use the card to pay for any travel expenses, and then log onto your account and apply miles to offset your statement charges. In other words, the Capital One Spark Miles for Business card is essentially a 2% rewards card.

Things get more interesting now that Capital One Miles are transferable to airline miles. Since the transfer ratio varies but is available at 1:1 with some partners, you can think of this card as earning your choice of 2% everywhere OR 2 airline miles everywhere (with some partners).

More information about Capital One transfer partners can be found here.

Additional benefits of this card include no foreign transaction fees, travel and emergency assistance services, purchase protections, and more.
