Capital One Spark Cash Plus Business Credit Card - $3000 sign-up bonus on $50k/6 month spend

+20 Deal Score
43,007 Views
You need to spend $50k in 6 months on this card to get the $3,000 bonus. If you can't charge that much, or can't manufacture that spend, move along. This isn't a card for a college kid. This is a brand new offer, and is time limited (no mention of when it expires).

2% cashback on everything, no categories. $150 annual fee. Can't tell if it hits you with the AF on application, but assuming it does, you'll clear $3850 in 6 months with the $50k spend. That's nearly 8% (back of the napkin calc), which is the highest I've ever seen on a card bonus. This is a GOOD deal. I'd probably churn this and drop the card at year 1 unless they waive AF in year 2.

Yes, this is a business card but the prevailing wisdom is that anyone can get one. You sell on eBay? Congrats, you own a business.

Some car dealers allow you to charge full amount as long as you pay 3% or so fee, might be an option if already in the market

They don't usually care about small purchases but it would be hard to hide personal purchases when you have to spend $50k
Taxes? Rent? Insurance? Probably all fine, I would think. Do you have a link to an article or thread supporting your claim that they do this?

I have this card (got a much smaller signup bonus for a much smaller spend). They closely checked the details of my LLC before issuing it.

Man, bought a home last year and put 40k+ on an amex. Got a ton of points, but this would have been slick! Don't see myself doing another 50k+ in spend this year tho 😅

Just sign up for a square account and charge yourself $50,000. Then you'll get the money back in your bank minus the 2.5% fee.

Quote from didier836 :
Can I prepay $50K in personal taxes (even though I likely do not owe any), get the bonus, and then receive the $50K back on my tax return? The IRS would not flag this? Technically it's a free loan for them, but $3,000 for tying up $50K for a month or two does not seem like such a bad deal.
I'm not going to lie, I did this last year and it wasn't super pleasant.
I didn't need the money, so after I haven't received it with my regular refund I just waited until late September before I called and checked in. The agent I spoke with was super confused why I paid that much money despite now owing taxes and after a supervisor approval, I received a check in the mail a couple of days later.
Cashing the check was also not that easy as it was both in my and my wifes name and a mobile deposit wouldn't have it.

Will probably still do it fwiw

I've charged lease down payments using a card with no fee, but the monthly won't take a cc. Other options -

Pay estimated taxes/regular taxes with the card. Fee is 1.87%, so you actually make money on the float and increase your reward spend.
Use Plastiq to pay rent/mortgage. It has a 2.87% fee, but the .87% on 50k is pretty small relative to the reward so it's still worth it.

You can't pay mortgage with Plastiq!

You can pay anyone who accepts a check with Plastiq. They literally print a paper check and mail via USPS to them.

Thank you. Exactly what I needed to know. If the money was only tied up for a month or two I'd be game. But given the extra degree of complexity, with needing to contact the IRS, I'll look for a different way to meet the spend limit.

I wouldn't suggest making a crazy payment to the irs hoping for a quick refund, they are still processing tax returns from last year, good luck getting your money tied up for months or years and waiting on the phone for hours for someone to pick up if u need to call them, it's also impossible to get a live agent, this organization is a mess
