Yikes, I screwed this up. I decided to switch to Business card and update Business Checking to Business Platinum in order to get the .5 pt bonus. And did all my spending on that card this month to get me up to free annual fee.

Bought $23K at Grocery Stores in order to get the double bonus pts, like I did the prior month on my Personal flexperks card. But didn't see the double bonus pts on statement that came out today.

Reading the fine print the Business card does not have the Grocery bonus category! What an idiot. Besides that I am getting a hassle on the .5 Plat business account. I changed to Plat Bus in mid July and have my July Check statement showing as Platinum. Did my spending in August and now US Bank is saying that account is not Platinum. That someone changed it back to non-Plat. They are investigating.

Looks like I lost 1.5 pts than if I had just used my Personal card instead. Oh well it was free pts anyway, but a bit upsetting to loose $700 in value due to not recognizing the difference in the category bonus. The business card throws in office supplies instead of grocery, argh. Gas and Airlines are the same.
