| Purchase APR | Not printed as revolving purchase APR; Pay Over Time variable APR ~25.74% (review sites, mid-2026) if balance carried | N/A — charge card. Pay Amount Due in full. No purchase APR published. Marketing “0%” is charge-card float, not an intro APR. |
| Intro APR (purchases) | Not offered | Not offered |
| Foreign transaction fee | $0 | Not $0. WebBank agreement (as of 6 Mar 2025): Foreign Currency Transaction Fee billed at cost, up to 25 bps; Cross Border Transaction Fee at cost, up to 135 bps. Combined theoretical cap ≈ 1.60% if both apply. Other issuers may differ — see your Cardholder Agreement. Foreign spend also earns no rewards. NerdWallet 0% listings are superseded. |

Rewards & Value
| Metric | Spark Cash Plus | BILL Divvy Card |
|---|---|---|
| Base earn rate | Unlimited 2% cash back on net purchases (no category caps) | Everything Else (eligible): 1.5x weekly/daily/prepaid; 1x semi-monthly; 1x monthly. Official cash value uses dollar examples — 100,000 pts = $520 cash (0.52¢/pt), $510 gift cards, $490 statement credit. Issuer copy that says “0.0052 cents/point” conflicts; use the dollar examples. Weekly 1.5x everything else ≈ 0.78% cash. |
| Welcome bonus | $2,000 cash after $30,000 spend in first 3 months; +$2,000 for every $500,000 in year one (repeatable) | Not offered on live public product pages (official rewards page and NerdWallet, Apr 2026). No spend threshold, no once-per-lifetime language, no offer expiration. |
| Redemption value | 1¢ per 1¢ cash back on statement credit/check | Cash back (ACH or check, ~15 business days): 100,000 pts = $520 (0.52¢). Gift cards (Tango, 3–5 days): $510 (0.51¢). Statement credit: $490 (0.49¢). Partner travel cited by NerdWallet/Bankrate at 1¢/pt is not quantified on the current official rewards page — secondary / verify in-product. Weekly 7x restaurants on the first $5k ≈ 3.64% cash if rules are met. |
| Transfer partners | No native transfer partners; cash may convert to Capital One miles ($1 = 100 miles) if linked to miles-earning Cap One card | Not offered |
Credit & Eligibility
| Metric | Spark Cash Plus | BILL Divvy Card |
|---|---|---|
| Personal guarantee | Required in practice (issuer-typical for Cap One business cards; not quoted on product page) | Conflict. BILL blog (2 Sep 2026): does not require a personal guarantee; owner is not personally liable. WebBank agreement: if the entity fails to pay, the individual signing personally guarantees all amounts owed. BBB complaints include users told no PG then collected as guarantors. Marketing ≠ agreement — quote the customer’s actual Card Agreement. |
| Credit check | Hard pull on submit; pre-approval advertised as no impact to personal credit | Official Application FAQ: soft inquiry on the business and the authorized signer. We don't do a hard inquiry. Application collects estimated personal credit score of the signer, SSN or passport, DOB, residential address. |
| Employee cards | Free; spend limits, lock/unlock, account manager role; primary remains liable | Unlimited physical + virtual. Admin budgets and controls; freeze/unfreeze; MCC / merchant / amount policies on custom-limit virtual cards. Liability sits on the business account (and, if the WebBank clause applies, the signer after entity default). |
| Product type | Hybrid charge card / NPSL business card (designed pay-in-full; Pay Over Time optional) | Corporate charge card + spend-management platform. Full balance due each billing cycle; no revolving APR on public product pages. Credit is a business line used via physical/virtual cards with budgets. Official page also offers variable, fixed, and secured credit-line types. Not a consumer card. |
Pros & Cons
Spark Cash Plus
Pros
- Uncapped 2% cash back on all net purchases
- NPSL capacity plus free employee and virtual cards
- $150 annual fee refunded at $150,000 net spend by anniversary
- Large year-1 bonuses — $2,000 at $30k/3 mo plus $2,000 per $500k spent
- $0 foreign transaction fee; 5% on Capital One Business Travel hotels/VR/cars
Cons
- $150 fee is real if spend stays below $150k/year
- Pay-in-full design — 2.99% late fee and Pay Over Time interest if you carry
- Bonus hurdles favor very high spenders ($30k/3 mo, $500k increments)
- No 0% intro APR and no balance transfers
- Bonus often blocked for existing/previous Capital One Business cardholders
BILL Divvy Card
Pros
- $0 annual and per-card fees with unlimited physical/virtual cards
- Real budget locks, vendor virtual cards, AI receipt matching, and two-way ERP sync in the free Spend & Expense software
- Headline earn can be high on weekly dining/hotel spend inside the first $5k/month (official table)
- Soft-pull application; reports to SBFE for business-credit building
- Visa Signature primary auto-rental CDW on business rentals; AP customers can pay vendors on the card with $0 BILL transaction fee
Cons
- Charge card: miss a due date and you get a late fee (2.99% or $38) plus freeze/default risk, not a revolver
- Rewards are operationally fragile: 30% of line, 12-month lock, 5,000-pt minimum, ~0.5¢ cash value, first-$5k bonus window
- Foreign spend: FTF + no points
- PG language conflict between BILL marketing and the WebBank agreement / complaint file
- No welcome bonus, no travel-credit stack, no transfer partners; Trustpilot on bill.com is weak (1.7/5)
Verdict
Spark Cash Plus
Capital One Spark Cash Plus is the go-to for businesses with serious spend who can pay in full. Uncapped 2%, NPSL flexibility, free employee/virtual cards, and a refundable $150 fee at $150k make it a premium flat-rate engine — especially with the live $2,000 welcome bonus and limited $500 travel credit (through Sep 7, 2026). Poor fit for 0% financing seekers, lounge hunters, or businesses under $150k annual card spend.
BILL Divvy Card
This is a charge card + free Spend & Expense, not a 2% cash daily driver and not paid BILL AP/AR. Size the line to spend so the 30% rule is reachable. Confirm the live Card Agreement on personal guarantee — WebBank makes the signer a guarantor if the company does not pay. Skip it if you need to revolve, spend abroad, or cash out a simple flat rate in year one.
