Our Verdict
Not as good as the 75,000 mile offer. Bank of America business cards don’t report to your personal credit report, great for those usesful for staying under 5/24 Chase. We will add this to our best credit card bonuses page.

Those of you who applied and got approved - will you apply for the premium card this summer too?
Just approved, no relationship with BoA but also 2/24 and 1/12 for personal cards. I did go onto Frequentmiler facebook group and did private message to Alaska employee who posts, might as well give a referral
Anyone with Event ID?
I used a random number and still got approved
I'm also seeing Employee Event ID. help anyone?
I used my Alaska Miles# & worked
What bureau do they pull in California? Can you freeze one to force another bureau?
Pulled TU for me in March
The application is asking for an Event employee ID and won't proceed without one. What did everyone use?
Enter my alaska mileage number in that box and it took it. Approved after canceling one two weeks ago.
Can I get another one if I already had one for a couple of years (stil open)?
Yes, I applied and got approved for #2 when I still have #1 open.
Were you at 1/12 or more ?
When did you apply for the 2nd one?
Did you use the same EIN or different?
Does anyone else find th payment interface for BOA business cards extremely confusing? They simply do not list your current balance!
I hate the interface. I also can only pay with a non-bofa account via the clunky bill-pay system? Definitely gonna sock drawer this one after the SUB. Too much trouble.
It does if you click within that small tab
I absolutely hate the way they do it with the separate corporate account and the individual card account. That being said, once you know it's terrible, it makes it easier.
Hate that I just opened this card like a month ago.
When will I be at 1/12 for real? the card I am waiting to fail off the 12months spam is my CSP, for which I applied and got approved on May 21st 2024?
...til yesterday I was at 2/12 showing 1 card open 6months ago and my CSP opened 11months ago, but today CSP changed to 1year (from 11months yesterday), am I good to go? am I at 1/12 now?
I need to be at 1 in the last 12months because a BofA biz rep told me the card will be rejected while I'm at 2 12 for the biz Alaska BofA card... I have had it before btw n I still have a relationship w the bank w deposit accounts.
You need to wait until June 1. 1 in 12 means one card in the previous 12 calender months, not one card in the past 365 days
Thanks, do you know if BofA can know if I open biz CC in the past 12months? I have never been late btw...
Also, a DP I read today in facebook of a person who was auto approved when he/she was at 2 personal cards in the last 6months (no biz cards whatsoever for that peson btw), thats the opposite of what I was told on bofa biz alaska recon line...they said less than 2 cards in the last 12months to be approved (but I guess they meant only 2 personal cards, otherwise how can they check biz cards, right?)
I’m at 4/24 and 0/12 with a phantom account from being added to P2’s Amex, bringing me to 5/24 and 1/12, should I bother applying?
Yes. Just approved at 1/12 and 4/24. I don't think x/24 count matters much at all to them.
What about # of inquiries and/or biz checking relationship? Or do they just care about x/12?
Applied for this card again. Auto declined and then tried recon. I am 4/24 and 2/12 with 4 inquiries. Told I was denied for too many new cards recently opened. I believe they are looking for fewer than 2 cards within 12 months to get approved. In talking with the rep, it sounded like once I get to 1/12, it's an easier approval.
Unless they changed it since Jan, 1/12 isn't true. I was 4/24 (all in 2024) and also had 5 biz cards in 2024
Interesting, are they this sensitive with their other cards, or is this one they're extra picky about?
Just this one from what I have seen. Much less sensitive for their business cash card.
same 2/12 4/24. Auto declined again. I won't bother to recon
I am just about to hit 1/12, not counting business cards. Any idea if they count other business cards (Citi AAdvantage Business World Elite Mastercard in this case) ?
Same. I went ahead cancelled my personal cc with them. Buhbye outdated BofA😅
I guess I should not apply this one. I am 4/12. I really want this one though. Anyone has any suggestion?
Like the rest of us: P2, P3, P4, the cat, etc.
what does "the cat" mean?
