I haven't looked into the business cards a crazy amount, but it seems they all have a clause about "you guarantee these charges would be just for your business purchases," no?
So long as you're sure you don't fall under the 5/24 rule, nothing wrong with building up SW points. If you wanted to take it a step further within your budget, you could apply for two of the three, hit both bonuses at $4k combined total spend, and be a mere 6k points from the CP - easily attainable with a few spends through the portal or just your normal everyday spend/bills depending on your finances.

I would vote Ink Plus as another potential since you have the CSP and Freedom. After your purchase, you'd be within $1,400 of the spend, gain over 60k UR points, potentially get 2x points for your hotel reservations on your purchase, and you can downgrade it in a year to the no AF version and have a ton of great bonus spend categories for the long term between all of those UR cards. Don't forget to use one of the community's referral links for whichever you choose. Good luck.
Thanks. I really didn't think the Ink+ or SWA were feasible given the 4 cards I've gotten since February. I could really go either way on Ink+ vs SWA. Any thoughts on which I'd have a better chance of getting (2 SWA or INK+)?
