So, technically I have not met the requirements for receiving the bonus. The interesting part is that there is a rewards summary section on the main page and it says "Bonus Miles Earned: 40,000". While over on the pers card, I have met all the req's and yet to receive the bonus. Gotta love consistency.

Unless I missed it, the language about payment of the annual fee is absent from the business card offer.
