As a small-business owner whose days are already filled with juggling deadlines, invoices and about a dozen browser tabs, the last thing I need is my credit card adding more to think about. That’s why I appreciate the\u00a0Capital One Spark Cash<\/a>. It earns an unlimited 2% cash back on every purchase, making it one of the simplest business credit cards on the market.<\/p>\n

The tradeoff? It doesn’t offer many standout perks.<\/p>\n

Capital One Spark Cash: The basics<\/h2>\n

I spend a lot of time writing about travel points and miles, but I’ll be the first to admit they aren’t always the right answer. In fact, I think cash-back credit cards<\/a> are often overlooked. Sometimes having flexible rewards that you can use however your business needs is the better play.<\/p>\n

The Capital One Spark Cash<\/a> earns an unlimited 2% cash back on every purchase and 5% cash back on hotels and rental cars booked through Capital One Business Travel. It has a $0 introductory annual fee for the first year, then a $95 annual fee (see rates and fees)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The card also doesn’t charge foreign transaction fees(see rates and fees)<\/a>, and you can add employee cards at no additional cost. (see rates and fees)<\/a><\/p>\n

What really sets the Spark Cash apart from many cash-back business cards<\/a> is that your rewards don’t have to stay cash back. If you also have an eligible Capital One miles-earning card, you can convert your rewards into transferable Capital One miles<\/a> whenever it makes sense. That means you get the flexibility of cash back when your business needs it, without giving up the ability to book high-value award travel.<\/p>\n

The TPG recommended\u00a0credit score<\/a> for this card is 740 or higher. However, it may be possible to get approved with a lower score.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s dive into whether the Spark Cash should be in your business’s wallet.<\/p>\n
