I have had my eye on this card for awhile. I was hesitating because I did not want a HP; however, after being denied the Citizens Business card in May and the GM Business card in June (both due to "earnings insufficient for amount of credit requested"), I decided to go for a tried and true bank.
US Bank has sent me several Triple Cash mailers over the past year; in fact, there was another today along with the approved card. At some point last year, US Bank switched the Triple Cash from a MasterCard to Visa. Thanks to both @M_Smart007 (https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Business-Credit/U-S-Bank-Triple-Cash-Rewards-Card-Approval/td-p/644...) and @SouthJamaica (https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Business-Credit/US-Bank-introduces-Mastercard-version-of-Triple-Cas...) I knew that I could use an old link to apply for the MasterCard version.

Congratulations. Good card.
Congrats on your new card! Out of curiosity, why did you want the MC over Visa?
Nice! And not too surprising given your great FICO + relationship. You are taking all the right actions to move the needle!

You'd think...but after being declined Citizens and GM Business (Marcus/Goldman Sachs) I was a little worried, especially as it was not instant (which is actually typical of USBank). Scores are not everything for sure. Citizens and GM want to see a lot of spend it seems.
Got it, that makes total sense, I didn't think about potential World Elite benefits compared to plain visa since so many issuers have nerfed benefits to save a buck (looking at you Citi and Synchrony to name a couple) so it's not much more than a label in a lot of cases. Hopefully its got some good perks left, not sure how US Bank fares there.
