Is this normal ? I only applied for and have one card. The accounts don't end in the same 4 digits and the CORP account balance is the balance of both accounts combined.
CORP Account - Alaska Airlines - XXXX $93.27
Alaska Airlines Business Visa - XXXX $43.27
As far as seeing two accounts, it is not only normal but common an multiple banks, not just BofA.
The Corporate Account at BofA is pretty much the same thing as what Citi (for its AA CitiBusiness card) calls the "master account". And Diners Club Professional cards have the same thing.
On the assumption that you might have multiple employees all use the same business card account but each have separate business card with a separate card number, business cards often set up one account overall for the business and then one account per person. It's somewhat superfluous when it's a sole proprietorship with no employees (per how you described your business when you applied), but many banks don't treat as a special case, it's simpler for them to just treat all businesses the same way with respect to this account hierarchy. (I don't see this at Amex with business cards, so they apparently handle it differently>)
The good news at BofA: When you cancel a business card, they cancel the associated Corporate account automatically. Over at Citi, is you don't explicitly ask them to cancel the "master account", they may not do so, and that could hurt your chances if you later want to reapply for the card if the "master account" from the previous card is still hanging around.
