Editorial take: Capital One VentureOne

The no-fee version of Venture. The 1.25x vs 2x is a real earnings hit, so only use this if you absolutely won't pay any annual fee, otherwise Venture pays back its $95 quickly.

Editorial take: Chase Ink Business Unlimited

The business version of Freedom Unlimited. Flat 1.5% on every business expense with no annual fee, perfect catch-all for anything that doesn't fit a bonus category.

Common questions

Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, Capital One VentureOne or Chase Ink Business Unlimited?
The Chase Ink Business Unlimited has the bigger bonus, $750 bonus cash back, worth roughly $750, versus 20,000 miles (~$370) on the Capital One VentureOne.
Is the Capital One VentureOne's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the Chase Ink Business Unlimited?
The Capital One VentureOne has no annual fee, so the question is whether the Chase Ink Business Unlimited's $0 fee is justified by its perks. If you'll use enough of the Chase Ink Business Unlimited's benefits to clear $0 in value annually, it's worth it; otherwise stick with the Capital One VentureOne.
Can I have both the Capital One VentureOne and Chase Ink Business Unlimited?
Yes, since they're from different issuers (Capital One and Chase) the application rules don't conflict. Many points enthusiasts hold both, they pair well when one earns flexible bank points and the other earns a different currency.
Should I get the Capital One VentureOne or the Chase Ink Business Unlimited first?
Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Capital One VentureOne: $500 spend in 3 months. Chase Ink Business Unlimited: $6,000 in 3 months. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
