Capital One 100K Referral Offer
It appears there are some wild new targeted Capital One referral offers floating around on business cards. If targeted, and you have a new business to refer, this is an insane deal. Capital One has a slew of transfer partners, offers regular transfer bonuses for even more value, or you can use as a travel purchase eraser for $0.01 per point. At a minimum, a 100K referral offer is worth $1,000 per successful approval! Let's dig into the details. UPDATE 7/10/26: There are now reports of referral offers for 100K miles or higher.

Capital One Referral Rules & Bonuses
Capital One has weird referral rules. First, you can only refer to a business card from another business card and a personal card only from a personal card. Second, you cannot earn a referral bonus if the person or business referred has ever been a customer. Luckily, that means a personal card customer for a personal card referral and a business card customer for a business card referral. Generally, Capital One referral bonuses are 20,000-30,000 points, with 25,000 Capital One miles being normal.
Capital One 100K Referral Offer
Targeted emails are going out to Capital One business card holders for 100K referral offers, reports DoC. Those who are targeted can earn up to a cap of 500,000 miles per year. (Yes, you read that right!) It appears that the emails are going to those who hold the recently rebranded Capital One Venture Business card. The referral link includes options for applying for the Capital One Spark Cash Plus card or the Capital One Venture X Business Credit Card. Some users in the comments said they saw even higher offers on other cards—so it's a good time for anyone who holds any Capital One card to check their inboxes. If you see a different offer, please report it over on our Facebook group.
Earlier Offers
Back in March, I also received an email for 50K referral offers, up to a cap of 250,000 miles per year. My email had the subject line: [Name]: You're only a few steps away from earning a referral bonus of 50,000 miles. This targeted offer was for my Venture X Business card. While the 50,000 referral offer was then the highest I could ever recall, my personal referral link does not offer a referral to either the Venture X Business card or the Spark Cash Plus card. If you're not familiar, these are the two most competitive Capital One business cards available and are the only two Capital One cards that do not affect 5/24. My targeted referral offers were only for the Spark 2% Cash Card or Spark 2X Miles Card.
