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

+20 Deal Score
42,996 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.

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

Can I pay myself then?

Great idea, but this article says no -

Might be able to pay a friend, relative, etc. who you trust to pay it back immediately. But that also has tax implications.

IRS allows 30,000 gift to spouse without tax implications. I suppose if you could spend the remaining 20,000 in 6 months, and I suspect that most of us could, that would work, no?

Possibly - blissfully unmarried, so no idea on that one. Smilie

I remember that costco was allowing to get the refund to any other visa credit card. Is there any store that follow the same process?

That's a year out at least. This is 6 months. At that rate you're going to have reserve 500 cyber trucks.

I have a rental house and need to put on a $30K new roof + other renovations. Would these qualify as a business expense?

Asking for tax advice on a deals bulletin board is...well, not advisable, IMHO. Same goes with legal.

Pony up and pay an accountant.

Or spend the time to do your own research...if someone here gives you bad advice, you have no recourse.

Not for IRS purposes! For the issuer. For IRS, I know I can take these expenses. But wonder if anyone knew whether owning income properties is considered a business with Cap 1.

"For a limited time, earn up to a $3,000 cash bonus; $500 once you spend $5,000 in the first 3 months, and $2,500 once you spend $50,000 in the first 6 months."

Is this correct?

So if you spend just 5k, you'll get $100 cash back and $500 bonus. $100+$500-$150 fee = $450 for spending 5k which is 9%. Most people can easily spend 5k.
