Earning rewards - Earning rewards on your business expenses with the Capital One Spark Miles card is easy. You'll collect unlimited 2 miles per dollar spent on all purchases. And, 5 miles per dollar on hotel and car rentals from Capital One Travel. No foreign transaction fee - Many credit cards tack on a fee of 3% on every overseas purchase. You travel abroad often for business. Or, you buy inventory there. This could get expensive for both you and your employees. But, like all Capital One cards, this card doesn't charge a fee. No additional fee for employee cards - Business owners can earn more rewards. They can do this by giving employees their own cards. They use them to cover business expenses. They would do this without paying an authorized user fee. You can also set credit limits and spending reports on each card. Unique cash back rate boost - The Freedom Unlimited card's latest welcome offer is better than its normal one. It gives you a chance at up to $300 in cash back (1.5% on up to $20,000 spent in the first year). This is a $100 boost to the card's usual $200 offer.
