Updated: December 1, 2023 | Credit Card Review The Capital One Spark Miles Select Business card is the non annual fee version of the Spark family. It offers 1.5 rewards on all purchases plus many great benefits like auto rental insurance, price protection, and more.
Recommended credit: Excellent credit is usually needed
- Step by step guide how on to apply without an LLC or C-Corp
- Reported on personal credit reports: Capital One business credit cards will report on your personal credit report
- Credit bureau: Capital One will usually pull your Experian, Transunion, and Equifax credit reports
- If you freeze one credit bureau you can still get approved
- Combining same-day credit inquiries: Credit inquiries for same-day applications will be combined. Note, Capital One will only approve you for one credit card application within every six months. (Combining credit inquiries will only make a difference when declined for your first try and you want to try a new one)
- Check application status: You can check your application status by calling 1 800 903 9177 or 1 877 277 5901
- Reconsideration: If declined you can call 1 800 625 7866 to be reconsidered (Capital One will usually only reconsider an application due to application error)
Quickest way to get my card: Your new card will be available in your Capital One app immediately after you get approved (you might need the 3 digit security code on the back of your card to access it, which means you must wait for your physical card to arrive). Capital One physical credit cards cannot be expedited, only sometimes for replacement cards for a fee
