Thanks, @CC.  I got the one Chase INK business card based on a very small sole proprietorship but have really discounted other business offerings.  (It had an awesome 80K UR point SUB.)  Maybe I'm too concerned about it, but I know they all say you're supposed to use them for BUSINESS purposes only.  I know a lot of people get BBP and then solely use if for personal use, it appears.  I don't want to open myself up to getting it shut down, should they decide to enforce the rules.  I have heard, though, that AMEX is pretty loose about business-personal use of its' cards.   Is that your understanding?  Also, Chase was pretty strict getting the underwriting approval on that INK card.

BCE started at 2k. It grew to 18k in about 9 months I believe.

Makes sense... tripled after 2 months and then tripled again after another 6 months, right?

I heard about the 3x CLI (possibility) but thought that was a "one-time-good-deal." 

I didn't know it was typical at both the 2 month and 6 month point??

Amex is very lose about using business cards for personal.  Not near as up tight as other lenders.   They just want to swipe fees and to be paid back otherwise they keep their mouths shut.  I have 4 Amex revolvers all under my sole prop I also have an EIN, etc., but found it easier to just do the sole prop route with all lenders I have business cards with so if you chose that route i think you would be more than fine.  Many of us here use them very liberally for personal spend.

Opened the BCE in 2017 at $500 starting limted, grew to $20,000 in 2 years. I left money on the table. Didn't request the maximum 3X CLI, decided not to poke the bear. Smiley Wink
