The verdict
On a typical year of business spending, the Citi Double Cash® earns about $900 a year in rewards and the Capital One Venture X Business about $900, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The Citi Double Cash® has no annual fee, so its rewards are all profit. The Capital One Venture X Business charges $395, but carries about $520 in annual statement credits that offset it for anyone who uses them. Counting rewards, fees, and any credits, the Citi Double Cash® delivers more total value, about $135 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it skips the annual fee the other charges. 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 Venture X Business currently has the larger welcome offer. A welcome bonus is a one-time event, so weigh it apart from the ongoing rewards.
