I do own a small business of around $3k in sales volume so I could apply for the business card. There's a piece of furniture I'd like to buy soon and feel that I am getting some benefit. Thx in advance.
My hot take re: the personal cards: Why pay a first-year annual fee with Barclays, when it's waived for the first year with Citi? Yes, you will have to charge more with Citi than with Barclays to earn the bonus miles, but it sounds like that's not an issue for you.
