Blue Business+ Approval

[GeorgiaBulldog]

Applied as a sole prop hoping to get in on the 20k MR bonus for $3k spent.  Interestingly, was at 30%+ utilization on my old Blue for Business card and carrying a balance while the APR is still 0%, so wasn't sure if this one would go through.  Auto approved for $9,000, and weirdly, with an APR 4% lower than my Blue for Biz--not that it really matters since I won't carry a balance outside of maybe using the 0% promo a bit.  My 7th total card (5th revolver) through AMEX and lowest APR.

My PRG and ED are suddenly obsolete.  Will probably cancel PRG when AF is due next year unless there's a sweet retention offer.  Once my old Blue for Biz first year is up, it's also on the chopping block.  May hang on to the ED if only to let it age.

Congrats!

I have been debating this since I either hit or am about to hit the 2k restaurant bonus on the Blue for Business as well, but mine is carrying a higher % util balance on the 0% period for a few months while I plan out the rest of this year and next year. 

Suppose there's no harm in applying for it anyway, right? Just a SP if declined... It would also be my 5th revolver and warrant closing my PRG and ED as well!

Yeah, may as well go for it while there's still a bonus link floating around. I actually was not hard pulled for my approval, though YMMV. Have seen a lot of similar DP's though so seems pretty low risk for a potentially nice reward.

Looking at your cards, we are nearly AMEX twins! And funny enough, I think I'm just a couple hundred  bucks short of hitting the restaurant bonus on my old Blue for Biz. And probably going after the one you have that I don't,  SPG Biz, next if I can figure out a way to hit minimum spend without doing... things that are frowned upon on these forums, ha.
