Terms, Rates and Fees

The Spark Miles for Business Credit Card by Capital One comes with a 25.99% variable APR on all purchases and transfers, regardless of credit score. Cash advances have a 31.99% APR and come with a 3% or $3 fee (whichever is greater).

There’s a 34.40% penalty APR that occurs if you make a late payment. There’s also a late payment fee of $39.

For the first year, this card comes with no annual fee. After that, you must pay $95 each year.
With this card, you have a minimum credit line of $5,000. The maximum credit limit depends on creditworthiness. The monthly minimum payment amount is $15 or 1% of your current balance plus any fees or interest (whichever is greater).

Maximize Benefits and Avoid Fees

  • Take advantage of the welcome bonus. Spend at least $4,500 within 3 months of opening the account to get 50,000 bonus miles (estimated: $500). This is a first-year value.
  • Prioritize your miles reward. For an ongoing value, this card comes with 2x unlimited miles on any business-related purchase and 5x unlimited miles on purchases made through Capital One Travel. For example, if you spend $100,000 a month using this card, you could earn up to 2,400,000 miles rewards that year. This is roughly the equivalent of $24,000. Actual redemption value may vary.
  • Pay off the entire balance. Although the variable APR can be high, paying off your balance every month can prevent interest charges.
