It’s a great time to for small business owners to shop for a new credit or charge card. Since many owners are fine-tuning their banking in Q1, many big banks attractive new-account bonuses. For big spenders, Capital One has the largest, $2,000 (or more) in cash! Since the company charges a $150 annual fee, we calculate the value as $1,850. It does require $30,000 in spending during the first 90 days ($10,000 per month). For smaller spenders, US Bank will pay $750 for just $6,000 in spending over 6 months (1,000 per month).
Caveats:
- Most cards require a minimum amount of spending during the 90 to 180 days to earn the bonus.
- We tried to only include offers available to businesses anywhere in the United States. However, you may find undisclosed geographic limitations when you apply.
