The verdict
On a typical year of business spending, the Capital One Savor earns about $498 a year in rewards and the Capital One Spark Cash Plus about $900, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The Capital One Savor has no annual fee, so its rewards are all profit. The Capital One Spark Cash Plus charges $150, which you clear through its rewards and perks. Counting rewards, fees, and any credits, the Capital One Spark Cash Plus delivers more total value, about $252 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it earns more where you spend most, on everything else and advertising. Both earn transferable points rather than flat cash, so the deciding factor is whose transfer partners reach the airlines and hotels you would actually book. On the sign-up bonus, the Capital One Spark Cash Plus currently has the larger welcome offer. Note that Capital One Savor is running a limited-time offer above the usual amount, so that edge may not last. A welcome bonus is a one-time event, so weigh it apart from the ongoing rewards.
Pick the Capital One Spark Cash Plus if your spending leans toward advertising, shipping, office supplies.
