The verdict
On a typical year of business spending, the Ink Business Cash® earns about $684 a year in rewards and the Capital One Venture X Business about $900, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The Ink Business 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 Capital One Venture X Business delivers more total value, about $81 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 Venture X Business currently has the larger welcome offer. Note that Ink Business Cash® 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 Ink Business Cash® if your spending leans toward office supplies, phone & internet. Pick the Capital One Venture X Business if your spending leans toward advertising, shipping, travel.
