For the personal it only specifies 2 for 1 with the select business partners. You don't need to be a business owner, just apply the same as you would for a personal card, it'll ask for a business name and you can put whatever you want in there. The supposed purpose is that you'll have 2 seperate bills to more easily seperate your expenses.

In the end I got 20k miles for signing up, 5k after 1st purchase, 10K at my 1 year anniversary as a card holder. It adds up to 40 only if I add someone else to my account (5k bonus for that). Alot of cards have that "add a card holder bonus" so they can advertise the larger possible bonus miles, but how many people actually do that?
Does this offer waive the first year annual fee?
