Capital One Venture Business
This card is for small businesses that want travel miles without premium pricing. Every purchase earns 2X miles and Capital One Business Travel bookings earn 5X. A $50 travel credit, a $50 advertising or software credit and a $120 Global Entry or TSA PreCheck credit offset the $95 fee. The caveat: no lounge access; that lives on the Venture X Business.
