But before I begin the TD application rigamarole, can anyone say how sticky they are on the "Business" part? Is it like Amex or do they want some kind of supporting documentation? I figure I'd apply anyway but this will help me know how much effort to put into it
Edit: So I applied using the data from my rental property business. Two things made me nervous: mortgage field maxes out at five figures so I wasn't able to correctly list mortgages on all of my properties, and the fact that nowhere on the TD website is there any mention of the FYF fee waiver. I took screenshots of the AE website but I feel like I am descending into the depths of deniability in which TD will deny that there ever was such an offer
Sorry for the late response. Life keeps one busy, as you know.
Anyway, when I tried to apply for the TD Aeroplan Visa Business card earlier this year, they flat out refused to let me apply as a sole proprietorship, using my first name/last name as my company name (which is acceptable by Amex for their Small Biz Gold Rewards card). Phone reps said I could, but they said I would have to contact a branch to setup a business account first. And I spoke with two different branch managers, and both said I needed to have a legitimate business, and that I would need to open a TD Biz banking account (monthly fees) to be eligible to get this card.
Looking at the main TD page for the Aero Visa:

Important business documents you will need when applying for
a TD Business Credit Card for your Small Business
If your Small Business is new to TD:
Master Business License: for Sole Proprietors or Corporations operating under a trade name
Partnership Agreement: for Partnerships
Articles of Incorporation: for Corporations
So, as a sole proprietorship, what qualifies as a "Master Business License"?
BTW, for the FYF, I would definitely apply via phone or in-branch, and not rely on the online application.
Should this discussion move to the "
Master thread TD Aeroplan credit card"?
