Should I wait until 6 months is reached?
We don't know! There are too few people applying for business cards reporting back with detail what happened, and meanwhile BofA is either constantly changing things and/or treating different people differently. So between these two issues we can't figure out specific timings very easily (if at all).

For example, a few posts above Soulag said that BofA claimed to have denied them for a "pattern". Obviously, everyone's pattern will be different, so if BofA is truly looking at patterns, but we don't know how they're looking at them, for each person the results might be different without warning!
