Travel is a key component for many businesses. The right travel card can elevate your business travel for you and your employees and unlock exclusive benefits and bonuses that reward you for your loyalty and spending.

If you’re looking for a business card that meets your enterprise’s next-level needs, the Capital One Venture X Business card might be for you.

From rewards for both everyday spending and travel purchases to flexible redemption options, loyalty bonuses and exclusive benefits for cardholders, the Venture X Business card offers a seamless way for you and your employees to spend more, earn more and take travel to the next level.

Capital One Venture X Business card offers:

• Rewards for all purchases: Earn 2X Miles on every purchase. Plus, get 5X miles for flights and 10X miles for hotels and rental cars when you book through Capital One Travel
• Flexible redemption: Earn miles with no caps, blackout or expiration dates, and redeem through Capital One Travel or one of its 15+ transfer partners¹
• Business-grade capabilities: Access tools for your business such as free employee cards, billing integrations, high security features and more²
• Elevated travel benefits: Skip the lines with TSA PreCheck or Global Entry. Plus, enjoy unlimited complimentary access to 1300+ lounges, including Capital One Lounges and the Partner Lounge Network³

¹ Terms and conditions for the receiving loyalty program and Capital One Rewards program apply.

²To receive a statement credit up to $100, you must use your Venture X Business card to either complete the Global Entry application and pay the current application fee, or complete the TSA PreCheck® application and pay the current application fee. Credit will appear within two billing cycles, and will apply to whichever program is applied for first. One statement credit per account every four years, and your account must be open and in good standing when the credit is applied. Refer to the Application or Account Terms for additional details.

³Lounge access is not guaranteed and is subject to space availability. Terms apply and are subject to change. Learn more about Capital One Lounges at: https://capitalonetravel.com/lounges/capital-one-lounges

Spend more, earn more

The Venture X Business card rewards cardholders with travel miles for every dollar you spend. Both travel and everyday purchases can rack up your miles. With the option to spend your rewards flexibly, you know that every mile you earn can be put where you want it.

For every purchase made on the Venture X Business card — from both cardholders and authorized users — you’ll earn 2X miles with no limits, blackout dates or restrictions. Anything from office supplies to a night on the town can earn you miles on your account.

The rewards don’t stop there. Cardholders who book their flights through Capital One Travel, Capital One’s exclusive travel portal, earn 5X miles for every dollar they spend. Hotel and rental car bookings through Capital One Travel earn 10X miles, meaning that a hotel booking that costs $500 can net you 5,000 miles in one go. All of these miles are unlimited, meaning there’s no cap on how many rewards you can earn.

One of the key benefits for Capital One cardholders are the flexible spending features that come with earning rewards. The Venture X Business card has no preset spending limit, no rewards limits and no foreign transaction fees. Cardholders can earn from anywhere at any time, and spend their rewards with Capital One’s network of partners .

Key reward features of the Venture X Business card include:

• 2X miles on every dollar spent on everyday items
• 5X miles on flights booked through the Capital One Travel
• 10X miles for hotel and rental car bookings through the Capital One Travel
• No mile caps, spending limit or blackout dates

Rewards that pack a punch

Earning rewards is just the beginning. The Venture X Business card offers high-impact redemption options that reward you for your spending, as well as lucrative bonuses for cardholders.

Venture X Business miles can be redeemed through a variety of channels to cover flights, hotels, rental cars, travel packages and other expenses around the globe. Cardholders can choose between booking through Capital One Travel, which offers exclusive deals and bonuses for travel booking, or through one of Capital One’s 15+ transfer miles partners.

Plus, with the “ purchase eraser” feature , you can enjoy the flexibility of using your miles to cover travel purchases that have been made in the last 90 days, giving you the chance to reduce or wipe out eligible travel balances on your card bill.

Both newcomers to the Venture X Business card and loyal cardholders can earn further rewards. First-time Venture X Business account holders can earn 150,000 miles once you spend $30,000 in the first 3 months from account opening. This means your authorized users can help you earn toward that bonus.

The Venture X Business card also rewards continuous account holders with a $300 annual credit toward bookings on Capital One Travel and a 10,000 mile annual bonus for every card anniversary.*

Miles don’t expire and there are no blackout dates for booking, keeping your options flexible all year round.

Venture X miles are incremental in value, meaning the more you spend, the more value you’re earning toward purchasing travel packages, hotel stays, flights and more. Every mile has a flat value with no caps, so your rewards will have the same impact no matter what your balance is.

• Redemption options through Capital One Travel and 15+ transfer partners
• Incremental value miles that don't expire
• 150,000 miles once you spend $30,000 in the first 3 months from account opening
• A 10,000 mile anniversary bonus with a $300 annual credit toward Capital One travel bookings⁴

⁴ Annually, eligible Venture X primary account holders will receive a $300 Capital One Travel credit (“Credit”) to use toward purchases made through Capital One Travel. Each annual Credit will expire on the next account open date anniversary. The Credit will be available within Capital One Travel and can be applied to purchases at checkout. The Credit may be used in whole for a single purchase or in part over multiple purchases. Rewards will not be earned on the Credit. If the purchase using the Credit is canceled, the Credit will be restored if it is not expired. An expired Credit will not be restored upon cancellation. A Venture X card account must be open and in good standing to receive or use the Credit.

Benefits that support your business

The Venture X Business card isn’t just a card for travel — it’s a card that can fit seamlessly into your business. Capital One offers features that can not only support your business travel, but elevate it.

Account holders for the Venture X Business card can issue unlimited, free employee cards to authorized users with customizable spend limits on each card.

Capital One Business also offers the ability to easily make all of your vendor payments in one place with Pay Vendors. Use your Venture X Business card to pay vendors, even those that don’t accept cards. Choose how you’d like to pay – by card for a 2.9 percent fee or by bank transfer for free – and pay your vendor your way.

The Venture X Business card can also fit seamlessly into your business accounts. Account holders can securely download purchase records into several accounting, billing and balance formats including Quicken, Quickbooks and Excel. Plus, business owners can get an itemized report of cardholder spending to simplify budgeting and tax filing.

Finally, Capital One is dedicated to transaction and card security. They offer virtual cards that allow you to make online purchases without needing a physical card or exposing the card number to merchants, adding a layer of security in the event of a breach or a data leak.⁵

Capital One also offers fraud protection with card lock features, $0 liability for unauthorized charges⁶ and security and fraud alerts if there is suspicious activity detected on the account. This keeps you, your employees and your card funds safe, no matter where you go.

In some cases, you will not be able to access your virtual card until approximately 30 days after account opening. Virtual cards may not be accepted by all merchants.

⁶Claims of unauthorized use are subject to verification and investigation. Accountholder may be responsible for transactions by other employees who use the account.

Access to Capital One exclusive benefits

The Venture X Business card goes beyond travel rewards. Being a Capital One Business cardholder unlocks exclusive benefits for travel, booking and more.

One of the key benefits for Capital One members is Capital One Travel , a hub for booking travel, redeeming card rewards and finding exclusive travel deals year-round. Capital One helps you hunt for the best deal by offering price prediction tools, alerting you when the best prices are coming up and offering price drop protection credits if the price dips after booking.⁷

Capital One Travel regularly price-matches for hotel bookings and other expenses, matching or beating prices of other booking services such as Expedia. Price match guarantees it will match your price if you find a better deal.⁸

Business travel survives the Zoom era, as leaders jump back on flights

It turns out that jet-setting on the company dime has eternal appeal. Business trips can conjure up images of fancy first-class tickets to major cities or staying at a Hilton in a small town about 20 minutes from the airport. Either way, it seems that the pandemic didn’t kill the corporate travel bug.

The brakes on business trips were first pulled when COVID-19 hit, as lockdowns and international travel restrictions were implemented. Zoom took off while planes stalled, as the video-conferencing company went from 10 million daily meeting participants in December 2019 to 300 million a few months later in April 2020.

As the lockdown lifted, some itched to vacation again (surging to the point that the term “revenge travel” was coined), but corporate travel was slow to get its feet off the ground. Its sluggish return made some question if business trips were at the end of an era. Perhaps Zoom and remote work meant that there was no longer a need to leave the house, much less the country, to really connect with others. 

“Businesses aren’t going to support nonessential travel if the work being proposed can be done virtually,” Brian Bloom, Korn Ferry’s vice president of global benefits and mobility operations, said in 2021 . And while bosses were looking to cut costs by eliminating travel, workers weren’t looking to risk their health either. In 2021, only one-quarter of those over 55 were comfortable traveling for work even after being vaccinated, according to an IBM survey of 15,000 global participants.

But years later, it seems as if corporate demand hasn’t died off, it just was dozing off for a bit. And the airlines confirmed as much. Alaska Air reported a return to pre-pandemic levels of business travel, as sales for corporate accounts soared by 22% in the first quarter. Delta and United each reported 14% increases in first-quarter revenue, with a United executive noting that the company notched nine of its top 10 corporate booking days in its history this year. That’s coming off of the rebound in 2023 , as air travel rose to 94% of 2019 levels, according to the International Air Transport Association.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that business travel isn’t still going through growing pains . A 2023 report from Deloitte found that while recovery is occurring, the trend “likely faces a limited upside” in part due to the cost of flying and sustainability mandates. 

Still, the return of corporate travel is occurring in the background of a years-long campaign to go back to pre-pandemic ways of work, as big names in tech and finance push for a fully in-person week. One of the major talking points for those that suggested back to office work was that it would create better connections , a similar talking point that crops up when it comes to the merits of traveling to meet with clients in-person. 

It seems as if the mindset is slowly gaining traction, as a 2023 study from Global Business Travel Association projected spending on business travel will surpass pre-pandemic levels of $1.4 trillion this year and balloon to nearly $1.8 trillion by 2027. After Omicron and other surges, global business travel began to find its footing again in 2022, according to the trade group.

“The headwinds that were anticipated to impact the rebound of global business travel over the past year didn’t materialize and that is good news,” Suzanne Neufang, Global Business Travel Associate’s CEO said in a statement last year to Fortune’s Chris Morris. “This latest forecast now indicates an accelerated return to pre-pandemic spending levels sooner than anticipated as well as growth ahead in the coming years.”

As the ever-looming recession remains unannounced and executives continue to extol the benefits of in-person work, the company card has started to thaw. It appears as if the floodgates, or air gates, are beginning to open up again.

It's time to earn rewards for all your company expenses. Whether you own a small business, work side gigs, independent contractor, or freelancer, you're probably spending a good chunk of cash already. So why not earn something for it? Earning many points and miles isn't a benefit limited to regular consumer credit cards. 

Keeping your personal and business spending separate is prudent, especially when tax season comes around. And maintaining a distinct business credit card makes it that much easier to track the goods and services you've purchased. In addition, the bonus categories for purchase rewards typically align with business expenses such as advertising, shipping, and office supplies.

Let's talk about the specific cards you should consider to reap the benefits of travel rewards and keep your business running on all cylinders.

Business Travel Credit Card Reviews

Travel is a consistent part of running a company for many small business entrepreneurs, and time is the most valuable resource many business owners have. The right travel rewards credit card can save you money and time on travel delays, cancellations, interruptions, and lost baggage issues without costing you more than you already pay for your annual fee. And the best business credit cards for travel offer significantly more value both on the road and back at home. 

The reviews below highlight the best credit cards for business travel in 2024, as chosen by Business Insider's credit card experts.

Best Travel Business Credit Card Overall: Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card

The Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card is a fantastic jack-of-all-trades business credit card for many small business owners. The card comes with a generous sign-up bonus and valuable ongoing bonus categories for a reasonable $95 annual fee. Even better, you'll earn rewards in the form of Chase Ultimate Rewards points , perfect for booking travel. 

This card's benefits include a wide array of trip protection and travel insurance perks such as trip cancellation and trip delay protection to help you recoup some expenses when travel goes awry, primary car rental coverage, and much more. The Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card also offers cellphone protection benefits: When you pay your cellphone bill using this credit card, you and eligible employees alike can claim up to $1,000 per incident in the event of qualifying instances such as phone damage or theft.

Best Business Card for Premium Travel Benefits: The Business Platinum Card® from American Express

The Business Platinum Card® from American Express is, without a doubt, the perennial premium business travel card, thanks to its extensive array of perks and ability to earn flexible, valuable Membership Rewards points. Although the annual fee of $695 is high, valuable perks like statement credits, airport lounge access, and top-notch travel and purchase protection offset it.

We'll get right to it: The Business Platinum Card® from American Express isn't for every business owner. The earning rates on most categories of spend are low, even compared to many other Amex Membership Rewards cards (see the The Blue Business® Plus Credit Card from American Express below).

Instead, this card shines for its incredible benefits, including annual credit toward a CLEAR verification membership and top-tier airport lounge access to American Express Centurion Lounges , as well as the worldwide Priority Pass network. You'll also receive hundreds of dollars in valuable statement credits for purchases at Dell, Indeed, and Adobe (enrollment required). 

Right now, you'll earn 150,000 Membership Rewards® points after you spend $20,000 in eligible purchases on the card within the first three months of card membership. You'll also earn Membership Rewards points at the following rates per dollar spent: 

• 5x on flights and prepaid hotels booked through Amex Travel
• 1.5x on each eligible purchase of $5,000 or more 
• 1.5x on eligible purchases in the US at electronics goods retailers, software, and cloud service providers 
• 1.5x at eligible US shipping providers
• 1.5x on eligible US purchases of construction materials and hardware supplies
• 1x on everything else

The 1.5x categories are capped at a total of $2 million in combined purchases each year — after that, you'll earn 1 point per dollar in these categories.

Best Business Credit Card for High Spenders: Capital One Venture X Business Card†

The Capital One Venture X Business Card† is a newcomer on the business credit card scene that heavily rewards big spenders. This card has a $395 annual fee, and comes with a generous welcome bonus of 150,000 bonus miles once you spend $30,000 in the first three months from account opening. However, the hefty spending requirement may be tricky to reach for some small business owners. 

This card's generous benefits include:

• $300 annual credit for travel purchased through the Capital One travel portal
• Priority Pass, Plaza Premium, and Capital One lounge access
• Global Entry or TSA PreCheck credit
• Cellphone insurance
• Rental car benefits and primary insurance coverage
• Travel interruption or cancellation protections
• Anniversary bonus of 10,000 miles 

Read more about this card in our Capital One Venture X business card review . 

Best Business Credit Card for Unlimited Flat-Rate Cash Back or Amex Membership Rewards: The Blue Business® Plus Credit Card from American Express

The Blue Business® Plus Credit Card from American Express is one of our favorite business travel credit cards for its generous 2x Membership Rewards points earn rate on every purchase, all with no annual fee. It's simple, rewarding, and often goes under the radar; essentially, this card is a gem hidden in plain sight. This card is for business owners who need a reliable daily-use credit card that doesn't require planning ahead for bonus categories. 

This credit card comes with a 0% introductory APR (then 18.49% - 26.49% Variable APR) which is valuable for business owners anticipating major purchases coming up.  

One of the best ways to maximize your reward redemptions is to transfer Membership Rewards points to one of many Amex airline and hotel transfer partners including Air Canada Aeroplan, British Airways Executive Club, Marriott Bonvoy, and many more.

Right now, you'll earn 15,000 Membership Rewards® points after you spend $3,000 in eligible purchases on the card within your first three months of card membership. You'll also earn rewards at the simple rate of 2 points per dollar on the first $50,000 spent on the card each year, then 1 point per dollar after that. Note that this card carries a foreign transaction fee , so don't bring it abroad. 

Read our full Amex Blue Business Plus credit card review  to learn more about this business credit card. 

Best Business Credit Card for Unlimited Flat-Rate Cash Back or Chase Ultimate Rewards®: Ink Business Cash® Credit Card

The Ink Business Cash® Credit Card is a no-annual-fee business credit card that earns generous cash back on business-related categories while providing useful perks such as purchase and extended warranty protection. For small businesses without major expenses, this is the card to get, especially since you can add employee cards at no additional cost. 

The 0% introductory APR offered on this card is one of the best benefits for new applicants (then 18.49% - 24.49% Variable APR). This perk can help you pay off large expenses over time without incurring interest. 

This is a cashback card on the surface, which means you can redeem your rewards toward travel at a rate of 1 cent per point on the Chase Travel ℠ Portal . However you can level up the value of your Ink Business Cash® Credit Card rewards if you have a card like the Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card, the personal Chase Sapphire Reserve® , or the personal Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card .

When you transfer the rewards from your Ink Business Cash® Credit Card to one of these credit cards that earn Chase Ultimate Rewards points, you get an additional reward redemption option which can be way more lucrative in many cases.  If you go this route, your rewards can be used across the full suite of Chase airline and hotel transfer partners .

Right now, you'll earn $350 when you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first three months and an additional $400 when you spend $6,000 on purchases in the first six months after account opening. You'll also earn rewards at the following rates per dollar spent: 

• 5% cash back on up to $25,000 a year in spending at office supply stores and on cable, internet, and phone service
• 2% cash back on up to $25,000 a year in spending at gas stations and restaurants
• 1% cash back on all other spending

The Ink Business Cash® Credit Card charges foreign transaction fees, so it isn't a good card to pack for international travel. 

Read our full Chase Ink Business Cash credit card review to learn more about this business credit card. 

Best Business Card for 4x Amex Membership Rewards Categories: American Express® Business Gold Card

The American Express® Business Gold Card is unique because it automatically earns a powerful — and very business-friendly — 4 points per dollar in your top two spending categories each month, which means you don't have to pick a spend category and commit to it. On top of that, you'll earn valuable Amex Membership Rewards points at the following rates:

• 4X points per dollar on your top two spending categories each quarter, up to a $150,000 annual limit
• 1X points per dollar on other eligible spending

This card has a $375 annual fee.

Read our full Amex Business Gold card review to learn more about this business card. 

Best Business Credit Card for Unlimited Flat-Rate Capital One Miles: Capital One Spark Miles for Business†

There's nothing to memorize here: The Capital One Spark Miles for Business† offers a simple rewards structure so you can purchase what you need without considering bonus categories. You'll earn 2 miles per dollar on pretty much anything. That's it. You can earn a bonus of 50,000 miles once you spend $4,500 on purchases within the first three months from account opening, and the annual fee is $95, waived the first year.

Our guide on how to earn and redeem Capital One miles will offer more in-depth information. But In most cases, you'll get the best value out of your rewards if you transfer your miles to one of Capital One's hotel and airline transfer partners . Alternatively, you have the ability to redeem for airfare, hotels, or rental cars directly on the Capital One Travel portal at a rate of 1 cent per mile.

Why You Should Trust Us: How We Chose the Best Business Credit Cards for Travel

Business Insider's credit card reviewers are experts when it comes to business expenses. Not only do many of us own and operate our own small businesses, we also evaluate and compare every credit card on the market on a regular basis. We chose the business credit cards highlighted in this particular guide for the following reasons:

Rewards — Each of the business credit cards on this list provides a minimum of one cent per dollar spent, and some do so without charging an annual fee. These build your business credit score and history while rewarding you for everyday expenses related to your company. 

Travel benefits — Every card on this list of best business credit cards for travel comes with soft benefits that improve the quality of your work life. Whether we're comparing premium travel benefits such as airport lounge access or something basic such as bonus points per dollar spent on travel, each of these cards makes your life as an entrepreneur just a little bit easier or better on the road.  

Value — The cards in this list run the gamut from free to hundreds of dollars per year in annual fees. Some business owners find the high value provided by premium credit cards worth the hefty annual fee (which counts toward your business expenses for the year). Other entrepreneurs prefer cards that don't take additional money out of their wallets. Each of the cards on this list gives back more than it takes, regardless of the annual fee. 

Protection — Purchasing business equipment, supplies and raw materials can be expensive, tedious, and challenging to manage and maintain. The business credit cards we highlighted here offer an extra layer of protection between you and asset loss: Many provide purchase protection and extended warranties, while others may offer a 0% introductory APR period to help you pay off big expenses over time without incurring interest.

Moscow is the capital, the most populous city, and the most populous federal subject of Russia. The city is a major political, economic, cultural, scientific, religious, financial, educational, and transportation centre of Russia and the world. A global city, Moscow is the most populous city on the continent of Europe and the seventh largest city proper in the world. Its population, as of 1 January 2010, is 10,563,038. For many, the sight of the Kremlin complex in the centre of the city is still loaded with symbolism and history. It was the capital of the former Soviet Union and signs of its previous life are very visible even now. Yet, there's more to Russia and its capital than just memories of the USSR.

By Martina Barash

Former BP PLC senior manager Kevin Crotty has agreed to settle SEC claims that he purchased TravelCenters of America stock shortly before BP’s purchase of the truck stop company became public.

Traveltech breakthrough recognizes life house with 2024 "rms innovation of the year" back to video.

Life House’s Revenue Management & Marketing System (RMMS) is designed for independent hoteliers who want to continue managing day-to-day operations, while maximizing revenues through high-tech software and institutional expertise. The platform optimizes the entire revenue funnel, and customers benefit from an automated AI-powered pricing engine, conversion-optimized booking engine, personalized website, autonomous trip management, digital marketing and distribution support, and an intuitive user interface.

Owners can quickly analyze performance with dynamic reporting tools, compare key metrics and variance over time, and track revenue performance against future goals for proactive and agile business planning. Users can also see and adjust how rates compare to competitors.

The pricing engine optimizes pricing decisions to maximize revenue and save time, with options for owners to customize their own unique pricing strategy. Designed to maximize RevPAR each day, the solution identifies unique seasonality and local events, automatically adjusting rates in response to changes in market demand.

Life House also offers a conversion-optimized website and digital marketing support to increase direct bookings and reduce third party commissions. The websites include intuitive navigation, quality images, responsive web design, and Ad and SEO compatibility. Life House also sets up clients on key booking channels, priced strategically using opaque discounts to increase demand, conversion, and revenue.

“We pride ourselves on our solution and believe that it is best-in-class, especially for underserved small independents. By connecting pricing to marketing and budgeting, we’re helping our clients achieve tremendous success, and the ‘RMS Innovation of the Year’ award from TravelTech Breakthrough solidifies that,” said Chris Cave, CEO of Life House. “Now when every penny counts, we’ll continue to enable General Managers to find more cost-effective ways to run their hotels, and focus on their day job of managing the property. By freeing up tens of hours per week, the result is higher revenues and better guest reviews from happy guests.”

The mission of the annual TravelTech Breakthrough Awards program is to conduct the industry’s most comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the top technology companies, solutions and products in the travel & hospitality technology industry today. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 12 countries throughout the world.

“Life House’s solution allows you to cover the full pipeline of activities needed for independent hotels. There are so many great indie hotels that are underserved when it comes to complicated revenue management. They need a way to make sure they are optimally merchandised on relevant channels and making optimal use of digital marketing,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of TravelTech Breakthrough Awards. “Life House provides institutional-quality hotel management and branding services focused on profitability, ease, and long-term real estate value. Their incredible RMS delivers more value than the brightest minds and can do so more reliably, at scale and for a fraction of the cost.”
