Our Verdict
This requires a private banker. Public offer is 350k points but only requires $200,000 in spend not $300,000. Remember, Capital One pulls all 3 credit bureaus. Unlike most Capital One business cards, Spark Cash cards do not report the statement balances to the personal bureaus; see these Things to Know About Capital One Credit Cards before applying. We’ll add this to our List of Best Credit Card Signup Bonuses.
As I posted in the last thread (and emailed the above picture of the offer to Will), if anyone needs an introduction to a private banker, you can reach out to me at discoveremail2 @ gmail and I can send your contact info over. They are usually very responsive and will reach out within a day or two.
Just a few points to make, usually these bankers have clients with 4m+ in revenue. But this is pretty flexible. To qualify for the card, you need around a 750 credit score and no new cards opened up.
This card offer is supposed to last for a month or two.
I’ll keep this in mind when I need to pay $1M in taxes lol
At that income level you don’t do that anymore.
Why not—I’ve held onto some good habits from my broke days! Only one thing changed. These days, I don’t hunt for deals as much—maybe just once a day.
What are some great deals you found recently?
I think the “not doing that any more” was about the “paying taxes” part.
Not true. I am in a huge group of large business owners, mostly online operations. All love miles and points. This applies to extremely wealthy people. They love to get the free stuff just like everyone else. I have seen posts like yours making aimilar claims. And 300K spend in 6 months is not a huge amount of money for a bsuiness. Thats 50K a month average.
I think Alexi was referring to the rampant tax fraud and loopholes by the wealthy, not that rich people don’t use credit cards or enjoy this ‘points’ hobby.
That is right, thanks,
John!
Yeah, it’s not really a partisan issue, but clearly, one side does this more than the other. Sadly, I expect this entire thread to be removed soon. As much as I enjoy and support DoC, they are a little less open to hosting anything that could be considered ‘political’ on here, even if it’s objectively bad stuff, like tax cheats, which no one should endorse or approve of. Anyway… peace be with y’all!
That’s bait.
Got one! 🧌🎣
yea thats the normal npc retort which ignores trading for a living, good luck writing of short term cap gains
“Only suckers and losers pay taxes.”
Pretty sure he was joking.
8 figure guys are as frugal as anyone if theyre self made, i duno y some ppl think it just changes
Self-made? Like, wages? ‘Hard’ work. Coal miner? $100K/year after tax income would take 100 years to get to $10 million. Bah. Nice try.
No, you see, it’s all about how much you lose. Think of the tax credits!
I’d love to join that group if at all possible.
so how do you avoid capaital gains ol sage wise one? ill let my cpa know
Have you considered not breaking the law and actually paying your fair share like the rest of us? Or are you special?
Wait, you guys got capital GAINS… oh wow. And here I was thinking it was all about capital losses.
It’s called sarcasm.
*tariffs (which ironically are taxes that we as consumers ultimately pay)
