After the successful launch of the personal Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card in 2021, Capital One began offering its business counterpart to the public in 2023, the Capital One Venture X Business. It is a popular business travel rewards card that offers a generous welcome bonus.
If you're a high-spending business owner and want to unlock a solid welcome bonus, this is a great offer to take advantage of. Let's look at the details and go over what you need to know before applying.
Capital One Venture X Business welcome offer
New applicants can earn 150,000 bonus miles after spending $30,000 within the first three months of account opening.
According to TPG's September 2025 valuations, this offer is worth $2,775. This is the typical welcome offer we see on this card, though we've also seen a welcome offer up to 350,000 bonus miles.
To maximize the bonus, we recommend transferring your miles to one of Capital One's 15-plus airline and hotel partners.
You also have the option to redeem your miles for a statement credit to cover travel expenses at a rate of 1 cent per mile. Even if you go this lower-value route, the full bonus is still worth an impressive $1,500.
The Venture X Business carries a $395 annual fee, which is more than offset by an annual travel credit and bonus miles every year you hold the card (explained below).
