Business card bonuses: how the biggest offers compare
As of October 28, 2026, the largest business card bonuses reach up to 300,000 points or miles, but the headline number says little without the spending required to earn it. Two Delta business card offers also end November 4, which puts a clock on part of the comparison.
This guide compares the business card bonuses by reward, spending threshold and timing so you can see which offers fit the way your business actually spends.

Capital One Venture X Business: two spending thresholds
Capital One Venture X Business offers up to 300,000 bonus miles plus a $1,000 travel credit across two spending thresholds. The thresholds are $40,000 and $120,000 in four months.
The top reward therefore requires very high business spending in a short window. The lower threshold is a more realistic target for many owners, and the right question is how much of the reward you would earn at the spending level your business already has.
Amex Business Platinum: up to 300,000 points if you are targeted
Amex Business Platinum shows up to 300,000 points after $20,000 in three months, subject to targeting. Several Amex offers vary by applicant and may not be available to everyone.
Treat the highest figure as a possibility rather than a promise. Check the offer shown to you directly, because the amount you see may differ from the amount in a headline.
Chase Sapphire Reserve: 100,000 points after $6,000
Chase Sapphire Reserve offers 100,000 bonus points after $6,000 in the first three months. One October 2026 estimate values that bonus at $2,050, and the card carries an $795 annual fee.
Values are estimates, not guarantees, and they depend on how you redeem the points. The annual fee belongs in the calculation, so subtract it before you decide whether the net reward justifies the card.
Delta business card offers that end November 4
The Delta SkyMiles Reserve Business offer of 200,000 miles after $20,000 and the Platinum Business offer of 100,000 miles after $8,000 both end November 4.
That makes these the most time-sensitive offers in the comparison. If one fits your spending and your travel plans, confirm the terms and the deadline on the issuer page, and give yourself enough time to apply before the offers end.
How to compare spending thresholds against your business
Spending thresholds in this comparison run from $6,000 at the low end to $120,000 at the high end. The practical way to compare is to take the amount of business spending you already expect in the stated window and see which offers you would actually complete.
An offer you will not complete is worth nothing, however large the headline. Never increase spending just to reach a threshold, and do not mix personal spending into a plan built around business purchases.
A useful exercise is to list the business expenses you can already predict over the stated window, such as advertising, software, supplies and travel, and add them up honestly. Then compare the total with each threshold. Offers whose thresholds sit well above that total deserve skepticism, while an offer whose threshold you would clear anyway is the easiest to evaluate. Remember that the time window differs between offers, so compare spending per window rather than raw amounts.
Why offers vary and what to verify before applying
Several Amex offers vary by applicant and may not be available to everyone, and the estimated values in this comparison are October 2026 estimates. Both facts mean you should verify the current offer, the annual fee and the eligibility terms on the issuer page before you apply.
Also confirm that you meet the eligibility requirements and understand how the bonus is earned, and check the deadlines, since two of these offers end November 4.
Bottom line on choosing among business card bonuses
The right business card bonus is the one your business can complete without changing how it spends. For some owners that means a lower threshold offer with a smaller reward, and for others it means one of the very large offers.
Compare thresholds first, then rewards, then fees and deadlines. If a Delta offer fits, act before November 4, and for every offer verify the terms directly with the issuer.
