[Expired] City National Bank 100,000 Point Visa Business Offer

Offer has been extended until April 30th, 2017. If anybody knows if the 70,000 in branch offer on the personal card has been extended, that would be great.

  • Existing account holders of a City National Bank Visa Commercial Credit Card or a Visa Crystal Commercial Credit Card are not eligible for this offer.

Card Details

Our Verdict

The points this card earns seems to be the same as the personal card, meaning they are worth 1¢ towards airfare. The downside to this bonus is that it’s targeted and the application process with City National is usually extremely tedious. The $15,000 spend requirement will be out of reach for a lot of people as well.

Is this still limited to only a few branches?

There are no branches in my state, so I was crossing my fingers that they would allow this online and nationwide.

Damn, just realized they’re headquartered in Los Angeles and I was just there last week. Branches were only blocks from both hotels too. Next time I’m in LA I’ll look into this.

William, do you know if this bus card from cnb will be reported on personal credit reports, like capone?

Can you open the checking account online or is that in branch only? Might be worth stopping into a branch either way.

I don’t think there is such a card as “Visa Crystal Commercial Credit Card”. It is just a Visa Commercial Credit Card w/ rewards. They have another Commercial credit card that does not have Rewards. Make sure you sign up for the correct one. The Visa Commercial Credit card w/ rewards has a $50.00 annual fee that kicks in on your first statement. I signed up for this card when I was in the branch signing up for the Personal Crystal Visa. Both approval took about 1 week or so. They ask so many questions for the Commercial card, and the application is super long compared to Chase/AMEX/Etc.

I haven’t hit my 15k yet, so can’t say if or when I will get the 100k bonus.

You’re right about the crystal commercerial card…didn’t know. I should have signed up for that one. Oh well. They do not ask for any business docs. I just gave them my tax return (1040). During the process of a week, they emailed me like 2 or 3 times asking about my business. One of my email back to them was,”why is this process so hard compared to other bank”. I was going to tell them to forget about the app.

Last time I was asked to provide the following docs:

1 year business tax return
1 year personal tax return for proprietors, general partners, owners of corporations, and Limited Liability Company members who are guaranteeing (include all schedules and K-1s)
Entity Documents (Articles of Incorporation, Operating Partnership and Trust Agreements)
Additional information may be required

Ridiculous requirements. CNB uses the credit card promos as a financial fishing expedition to market all their other expensive crap (wealth “management” etc etc). They tried the.same nonsense on me for their personal card – told them to go fly a kite.

They typically need Permanent Residents or US Citizens to apply – which is a bummer for legal, documented, honest, law-abiding, tax-paying immigrants. Visa holders, please share if you were approved.

I applied in branch, was turned down for the reason above. FICO > 790, decent six fig income. Lucky thing they denied even processing the application, so no HP.

FWIW, I was emailing with my banker at CNB today and she mentioned this and a 70k offer on the Crystal. I opened a checking account with them a few months ago to build the relationship proactively (have to keep $3.5k balance) and get an inside on these types of promos. If interested and not targeted, I’d suggest setting up a checking account first (and soon) and then seeing if you can get the targeted offer(s) after via your banker.

I’m going to pass on this 100k and probably go for the 70k Crystal given the travel credit per card makes it a moneymaker each year.

Excellent tip, I thought there would be no way I could get this card.
